Multiple attendees for 1 registration

My site offers an “institutional” registration/ticket that will cover all members belonging to that institution. Is there a way EE4 can handle such a registration, that charges one price, but permits the registration of multiple members?

Thanks.

Hi Valerie,

How are you today?

I’ve got a couple questions:

– Who will be responsible for paying for that one ticket?
– Will the other members of that institution register themselves after that institutional ticket has been purchased, or will the other members of the institution be registered at the same time they buy that institutional ticket?
– Are your attendees members of your website? Do they individually have accounts on your website?

Thanks.

Hi Garth:

– the primary registrant will be responsible for paying for that one ticket
– ideally the other members will be registered at the same time, but that’s not mandatory
– the attendees are not members of the website.

Thanks

Hi, any updates on this? The only solution I’ve come up with is to create tickets for 2 attendees, 3 attendees, etc, and divide the price by number of attendees, to add up to the single price. This is a bit of a hack, since the price will differ by pennies depending on number of attendees.

Hi Valerie, if you registered for a single ticket, then only one registrant would be saved.

Would either of these options work?

a) Set the first ticket as required with a minimum and maximum at one. This will allow only one of these tickets per registration checkout. Then create another ticket option that is free

or

b) Create a custom question that is a textarea question type where the names and other contact information could be collected. Then add this to one of the question groups that is enabled for your event.

Hi Lorenzo,

I now think your option B is the best although not perfect solution, because questions can’t be customized per ticket (that’s an enhancement I think has been put forth). Ideally I would only want the text area type question to be associated ONLY with the institutional type ticket. Another enhancement (I know the list must be long!) is to enable a ticket where multiple people can be registered for 1 price, similar to the institutional type ticket my client “sells”.

Thanks.

Hi Valerie, thanks for the feedback. We do have questions groups on a per ticket level as a feature request as well.
