Event Espresso seems to have everything I am looking for, but I’d like to get clarification on one piece that I haven’t been able to discern from reading the info on your site.
Is it possible to create a maximum group ticket price? For example, we host a 5K where we charge $10 for individuals and $20 for families.
So for the family pricing, if they register 3 people or 10 people, they would still only pay $20, but we need to have each person who is a part of the family be registered with names, age, etc.
Can you just verify for me that this is doable and maybe give me an idea of how I would go about it using EE4?

Hi Brandon,
That isn’t possible with EE4 currently as there is no discounting system in place (it’s being built).
Even when it comes into place I cannot guarantee that this particular style of discount will be included.

What about creating two different types of tickets where one is a “Family Ticket” and the other is a “Family Add-on” ticket? The family add-on would be free and would only be available to those who had already purchased a Family Ticket first.
Would that be doable?

Hi Brandon,
There isn’t currently a WP user integration for Event Espresso 4 so the software would not know if an attendee has already purchased an item.
How about tiered pricing where an attendee would save money for purchasing a certain amount of tickets?
Would something like that work for you?

I’m not positive. I guess it depends on what kinds of rules I can define for the tiers. Could you give me a couple examples of tiered pricing structures the system would allow keeping in mind that I’m trying to get as close to a solution where paying for more than two doesn’t cost much more than just two. (e.g. 1 = $10, 2 = $20, 3 = $21, 4 = $22)?
I really think EE is the right choice for us but I want to make sure I can get this figured out before I pull the trigger.
Thanks for working with me on this.

Any thoughts on my last message? Specifically this pricing Scheme:
1 = $10, 2 = $20, 3 = $21, 4 = $22
Or something similar? If that is possible, then I’m all set, so I’d love to get that clarified.

In EE3 there is a hook available right after the attendee is saved to the database. I’ve used that before to do a check of how many attendees were registered in the current session, and adjust the price charged accordingly. So you could do $10 for the first attendee, $20 for any more than one. But it is not something that is straight out of the box. You will need to get a custom function added to your site. Whether that’s something that you are comfortable doing is a judgement call on your part, but at the worst you would need to pay a developer for a couple of hours to write the custom functionality for you.

Awesome, thanks, Sidney.
I think between myself and the other web team members we can get that working.
