Hello,

It seems several tickets are over sold. For instance we will have 4 tickets for sale but 6 are sold. We are noticing this behavior on Randomn tickets.

Do you know why this could be?

Did you set the date time registration limit or the Ticket Qty limit only? Which version of Event Espresso are you using?

Hi Josh,

I have 8 set as ‘Maximum number of tickets allowed per order for this event’

In additional for each ticket time I have sell start and sell until. Sell until is set for March 2017 so plenty of time remaining but it seems few tickets here and there are oversold.

Ex: I have 10 tickets avail but 12 sold. Please help

Event Espresso 4.9.24.p

Thanks

The maximum number of tickets allowed per order setting is only going to limit tickets per order. That setting does not set a limit to the total number of tickets that can be sold for the event.

You’ll need to set a date time registration limit under the “Datetimes” section of the event editor to set a limit of 10 tickets for an event.

Hi Josh,

Sorry forgot to mention I do have Qty set under ‘Available Tickets”. As you can see in this case 7 were sold instead of just 4

Let me know what could be wrong. Thanks

Do you have anything set for the Datetime reg limit? If you have more than one ticket type, the QTY fields for tickets alone will not set a limit for the event. Here’s a screenshot that highlights the date time reg field, that’s the field where you set the limit.

Hey Josh – No I dont. What do you recommend in my scneario: The ticket type available vary on how many we have?

You set the Datetime reg limit to equal the total capacity of that event.

So in this case, I would add up all the Qty field and put that in the Datetime Reg Limit?

Now if i add more tickets or open up more slots, I would update the Limit to the new total?

No actually you set the date time reg limit to the actual capacity of the venue.
