I run a Real Estate Insurance Association (REIA) website. We have an event coming up, and we just recently picked up a EE business license to make our lives easier. There’s one problem–our pricing plan is kind of complicated. Here it is:
$100/Member +$25 guest member on your membership
$150/Non-Member + $50 guest at time of registration.
I realize this is confusing. Let me clarify–Members of the REIA pay 100 dollars, plus 25 extra dollars for every guest they bring. Non-members pay 150 dollars, plus 50 dollars for every guest they bring.
I don’t know how to handle this. Please advise me. I’m planning on setting up WP-User Integration shortly, if that makes a difference.

Hi Matt,
The problem is that currently we don’t have a way to conditionally alter price (e.g. if person buys more than one ticket after 1, they are reduced in cost).
One way to get around it would be to use the Price Modifier plugin to allow the user to select X number of “items” in this case guests and increase the price accordingly. However that will mean the guests will not be recorded as attendees, though you could gather their data via questions. In which case you simply use the WP User Integration plugin and set different member/non member prices.
You could set it up where there are different ticket types, but then you are relying on the honesty of your customers to make sure that the main ticket is selected (some javascript may help here).
You could also set it up where you have 2 events, 1 being the main ticket type with different member prices, and the other the guest prices and use Multiple Event Manager so people can add to cart. You get the guests details recorded, but the honesty issue remains here.
Overall, currently there isn’t a perfect way to do what you are wanting. We are reviewing the ticketing/price structures for 4.X so it *may* be possible in the future.
