Hello:
I would like to setup an event that has a slightly complicated registration structure.
1 The event is a workshop and it is comprised of four (4) classes, let’s call them Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D.
2 Each class has two (2) parts: Part I and Part II
3 The workshop is held over four (4) days. Each day, each class is offered, with Part I in the morning and Part II in the afternoon. The grid below provides the schedule.
<style>
.demo {
border:1px solid #C0C0C0;
border-collapse:collapse;
padding:5px;
}
.demo th {
border:1px solid #C0C0C0;
padding:5px;
background:#F0F0F0;
}
.demo td {
border:1px solid #C0C0C0;
padding:5px;
}
</style>
<table class="demo">
<caption>Table 1</caption>
<thead>

</table>
4 Participants will need to sign up for a class, which has a flat rate cost, say $100. They will then need to choose when to take Part I and when to take Part II out of the options provided.
5 I need to setup registration so that participants can choose a class (or multiple classes) and choose both parts on the desired days, while limiting space in each Part. Each part must be limited to 5 participants.
It seems as if I can use the Multiple Dates and Times Per Event feature of the core plugin, but considering the complexity of the registration process, I would greatly appreciate guidance on the most efficient way to set this up.

Hello,
I think the multiple dates times and ticket feature could help here. My concern is there will be a lot of ticket options for a single event on a page which may be overwhelming when you are trying to register.
Here is a quick video so you can see how the feature works:
https://gist.github.com/lorenzocaum/2caa7418eb152329959e
Another option may be to split this up across 4 events (e.g. Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D) and then install and active the multiple event registration add-on.
Then a registrant/attendee will be able to see all options on one page but they will be split up instead of there being a long list of ticket options.

Considering that the add-in has a event cart widget, I like the option of splitting it up into 4 events. However, I am not quite sure how to set up the Part I and Part II sections.
Because registration requires two parts, I have a feeling that I have to use a sort of criss cross method to make the ticket types.
For example, each event would have 16 ticket types:
Part I Date 1, Part II Date 1
Part I Date 1, Part II Date 2
Part I Date 1, Part II Date 3
Part I Date 1, Part II Date 4
and so on…
Is this the only way I can do it? Or can I set a requirement that in order to add an event to the cart, they must choose two ticket types?
Thanks

I think if I can make people register for specific datetimes when they purchase a ticket, that should take care of it. Is this a feature?

Hello, you can assign a ticket to a specific date-time for an event via the advanced options (gear icon). However, I do want to mention that if you set all options up on a single event, then you’ll have a lot of ticket options which may be overwhelming and not provide a great registration experience.

can you require registrants to choose two event date times (part i and part ii) for one ticket? as long as i can track registration for each date time (and limit enrollment), this might work

No I’m afraid Event Espresso 4 doesn’t handle this level of complexity.
