I am planning to purchase this promising plugin provided that it helps me achieve my goals.
I am developing a WordPress Website for social event management. My client has multiple agents in various cities/branches using her brand. She wants to supper administer each branch’s admin/manager (Add branch, remove branch, etc). She also wants each branch admin to able to create their own events, create and sell tickets, post their own galleries etc. In addition, each city admin/manager has staff members selling tickets to event attendees. While attendees can buy tickets directly on-line, she also wants these staff members to have the opportunity to print/or send tickets digitally(email or QR) to attendees whenever they want without necessarily paying fees by that time (Since they are staff members, they can settle the transaction with the branch manager/admin later). This feature is required because some attendees want to pay by cash or they do not want to carry out on-line transactions.
It seems I can achieve this goal with WordPress Multisite and Event Espresso, but I am not pretty sure if Event Espresso:
1. Will be compatible to each subsite and will enable each branch admin to create their own version of events and tickets.
2. Will enable each staff members to generate tickets to print/email/QR scan to clients/attendees without necessarily paying the ticket fee by that time.
Please advise if there is any other way to achieve this goal with EE without going for a Multisite (eg with WP Custom post or Pages).
Thanks you

Hi Yid,
That could be possible but there are some limitations to be aware of.
First, each site would be unique and they would not be able to share any information between each other. The super administrator or network admin would have access to all sites.
However, an administrator of a specific site would not be able to access another site.
For complementary tickets via staff members, this solution could work:

Many thanks, Lorenzo. That sounds great. Just to clarify:
1. I hope I shouldn’t purchase EE Licenses for each Sub-site. Should I?
2. Is the complementary ticket available only via the administrator role in the WP dashboard? If that is the case, it will be a problem to grant a site admin role for ticket sellers. Is it possible to make it available via other roles such as editor, author…?
3. Is there a mechanism to know which admin (other role holder) prints which complementary ticket? Otherwise it will be a problem to track who prints what and how many.
Thank you
Yid

Hi Yid,
A support license would be needed for each sub-site.
An administrator role is not required. I used the generic term for admin-only to refer to them being available in the WordPress dashboard.
Tracking who prints out tickets isn’t currently available.
