Hi

I  need to be able to create some events where the user does not necessarily register for the whole thing e.g. the event is over three days, each day costs £40, and the participant can register for one, two or three days.  I have looked at your feature list but cannot determine if this is possible with event espresso.  I would not want to create this as three separate events.  Many thanks.

Hi Gillian,

This is possible, but there is a limitation to setting up a multi part event this way. You can set the different price options for the days like this:

1 day – $40
2 days – $80
3 days – $120

All within one event. One downside of setting up event days as price options is keeping track of capacity. If it’s a case where each day had a capacity then you wouldn’t be able to track which days were going to be attended since Event Espresso doesn’t set capacity limits on price types, only on events.

Hi

Thanks for the reposonse – have just been in and test driven the pro version and given how easy it is to register for multiple events then actually I could create the above as separate events  (as I would need to monitor capacity.)  It said the test drive would show how the word press membership plug in worked so that prices could be overridden if a member logged in.  I could not find this in the test drive, was I just being dense?  This would be a crucial element for me – does it work so that I specify per event what the discount for that particular event is?

One final question and it may be so obvious it doesn’t need asking, but – I will be able to set my prices in GBP won’t I, and change name of the state/province field to county in the address?

Many thanks

Hi there,

The test drive site currently doesn’t have the WP user integration add-on installed. How it works is for each non-member price you can optionally set a member price. This works for each event.

So for example, if you have a standard price of £100.00 per ticket and wanted to discount it by 20%, you’d enter £80.00 for the corresponding member price. A lot of the settings are locked down for security reasons, but on a normal installation you can change the price to GBP and change the state field to county.

With the WP user integration add-on active the event editor price fields look like this:
