We have an event that takes place once a month for the year. Customers can sign up for a single datetime, six datetimes or the full year. In the interest of not having 14+ tickets tied to individual datetimes we added a field to the questions field during registration asking for their desired datetime and adjusted the advanced option for the ticket to specify the # of datetimes it can be used. My question is:

1 Is there a way to track the number of datetimes the tickets have been used so we know when they can’t continue coming to the event?

2 Is there a way for us to go back after they’ve registered and tie them into specific datetimes before those datetimes have occured? I was thinking we could use the check-in feature to create a class roster/contact list but I can’t figure it out.

Hi Ryan,

Typically, a ticket is linked to a certain date time through the event editor. Then when a registration takes place, the ticket option quantity is updated along with the date time quantity for the event.

In your workflow, there is a date time question to collect that information but a specific ticket won’t be able to automatically linked to that date time.

14 tickets may seem like a large amount but it will maintain accurate counts for you for your registration purposes.

So if we did individual tickets for each datetime how would you suggest handing the six datetimes ticket option where customers can sign up for any six datetimes and receive a reduced rate? Is there any way to add a price modifier that could work with this situation?

Hi Ryan, I can’t think of a workaround to accomplish that at the moment.

We do have a bundled ticket option:

However, the issue is that you need an a la carte option that applies a discount when any 6 datetimes are selected via the ticket selector. If the bundled ticket option was used then you could apply a discount, however all datetimes would be selected and you would need to manually track availability for datetimes.

Do you have a link to the existing event that you can share with us?
