Hi,
We are running an event with an option of adults or childrens ticket prices. We are finding people want to book 2 adults and 2 children but are unable to in the one transaction. Is there a way around this?
We are running the latest version of EE with a business licence.
Cheers!

Hi Lauren,
Multiple Event Registration add on is what you need here. It allows users to add one or more events to a cart. At the cart they can select different amounts of tickets for each pricing option, so for your example the can select 2 adult tickets and 5 kids tickets. The registration process then follows the same path, asking for the details requested.
You will need to make sure group bookings is allowed other wise they will still only be able to choose one ticket.
Also note that even if you require no additional data for additional attendees, each ticket pricing option will still request primary attendee details, unfortunately thats how it is set up to work currently.

Hi dean,
The plugin only seems to work if you are listing events using the EE list tag. However if a user is clicking through to an event direct from a sidebar widget the option to “add to cart” doesn’t show up. At present this event is separate from other course so users access it either through the sidebar widget or through a drop down list (created by the custom files add on). I’m gathering there is no way around this? Any ideas? Cheers! Lauren

Hi,
You can use the add to cart shortcode in the event description https://eventespresso.com/wiki/shortcodes-template-variables/#add-to-cart
https://eventespresso.com/wiki/multiple-events-registration-use-add-to-cart-link-instead-of-default-registration-form/
If you are feeling adventurous you could also add it to the the registration_page_display.php template file so it appears on all events.

Thanks Dean, I seem to have that working… however to get it working I need to enable the Multiple Registration Plugin. The problem is this automatically adds the “Add to Cart” option to any of my existing event lists. I’m gathering there is no way to remove this? For most events I just want the “register button”, it’s just the one instance that I require the “add to cart” in order that people can book both Adult and Child price tickets.

Hi Lauren,
To deal with your original query, you will need Multiple Event Registration (MER) active, as it is the only way to get that multiple tickets per ticket type.
It can be removed, but it gets a bit involved. There is a good article here about it https://eventespresso.com/wiki/selectively-hide-the-add-to-cart-link/

ok that looks beyond my abilities. This could be a stupid question but given the bit I want to hide it is in the EVENT_LIST shortcode only would I be able to set a style on that button somehow as display:none??

Hi,
Yes that would work. The only issue is that the “or” isnt style-able, so cannot be hidden. As such it would need to be removed from the template or potentially using the translation system (translate it to a blank space).
It’s awkward I know, I have been bugging the devs about things like this but they are low priority with 4.0 in the works.

Hurrah! It worked… for future reference I got rid of the “or” in event_list_display.php (line 86) and I added the following line to my css (note I have some custom mods to the EVENT_LIST shortcode so I’m not sure if this will work for everyone.) .register-link-footer .ee_add_item_to_cart {
display:none;
}
Thanks for your help 🙂
