Hello my name is Hugo, I am really interested in purchasing this plugin for a small event that i am putting on but want to know if it is possible to have the user be able to purchase one ticket only to the event and no more.
So once they register and login to the site and purchase a ticket for the event, it will then not let them purchase another ticket under that user account.
If this can do this then I am definitely interested as the event is exclusive to just 50 people and I do not want anyone purchasing multiple tickets.
I would also like to know if this can be done out of the box or if additional add-ons are required.
Best Regards Hugo

Hi Hugo,
There is one way to do this that is Event Espresso’s feature set: There is an optional attendee pre-approval feature. If someone registers, then the admin can approve/disapprove the registration. Once approved, there’s an option to send them an email with an invoice to pay online. This way the admin can determine if someone tries to register again using a different name/email address (they’ll have to be pretty crafty with fake names and alternate email addresses to sneak an extra ticket past that admin).

Thanks. I am just wandering what the user would receive after purchasing their ticket?
Would they receive an e-ticket with a unique code? Or would they just receive an email with a unique code?
If I was to ask them to bring Photo Id to the event with their unique code then this would ensure that people are not using different names and email addresses to get tickets.
Does this sound like a solution?

If you’re using the ticketing add-on (https://eventespresso.com/product/espresso-ticketing/) then they would receive a ticket, otherwise they could print off their registration confirmation email with their registration ID.

Hello Garth
You mention that you can turn off any settings that allows a user to purchase multiple tickets at once. Can this be done using the lite version or is it only in the upgrade?

Hello Garth

Another question is can you link the plugin to the wordpress registration so that a user who signs up for an event also becomes a member of the site?

Hello,
The lite version does have the group registration setting (purchasing more than one ticket at a time) but it is off by default.
It is possible to link the registration with signing up the user to the site. One of the developers has provided a function that can do this but it is not part of the plugin itself as Event Espresso is not designed to deal with site membership, but it is quite easy to add this function in via the Custom Files addon or the themes function.php.

ok this sounds like it will do the job.
but when you say it is easy to add this function, how easy is it?

This is in relation to the Custom Files addon.

Hi,
Adding the function is simply copying and pasting it. I was slightly wrong, it goes in the themes functions file, sorry for the confusion.
Here is the code: https://gist.github.com/sethshoultes/5574217

Right I did some testing on that and it seems the function doesnt work with the “lite” version and requires 3.1.33.X or above to work.

The WP User Registration plugin doesnt currently register users, it enables logged in users to see member prices and to have forms pre-filled for them.

Ok great so if I upgrade to a paid version (single site licence) then this should work?

Yes thats correct, I tested it on the latest version on my local site and it worked fine, a user (subscriber level) was created on registration. It works off of email, so as long as the email is unique it will create a user.
