Have a project that requires members of an association to get free registration

So I have a list of 14,000 members, and when they sign up for my event they need to get free registration. I was thinking I could accomplish this with discount codes, but with no discount code import feature it will be tough. Is there a way to access the table where the codes are stored?

Second issue I’m looking at is our exhibitors at the show get a certain allotment of free registrations. Again I was thinking discount codes, but this is where I’m stuck:

Discount code ABC = 100% discount, limit use of 5

Most of these exhibitors will sign everyone up at once. If Joe registers himself and 3 people at the same time with discount code ABC, will that knock off 3 uses? I noticed when you add more people to your registration, there is only the one discount code box.

I think Eventespresso can handle everything else this project requires, so let me know if you have any ideas for my two issues above so I can start! Thanks!

Hi Sheldon,

“Is there a way to access the table where the codes are stored?”

Not easily, as the data is spread over various parts of the database, so there would be 4 or 5 tables that need accessing and updating correctly in order to manually insert via the database.

Looking at the function that handles insertion, there doesn’t appear to be any hooks that would fire it off, so that routes out as well.

Regarding promo code uses, its per transaction not per ticket, so they could register separately 5 times and use the code 5 times.
