Multiple Event Registrations in EE4

I saw in one place that you can now register for multiple events in EE4 but then when I look at the add-ons the multiple event registration is only for EE3. So in EE4 can I have a user register for more than one class at a time?

thank you.

Hi Ann, multiple event registrations is not available in Event Espresso 4.

Please let us know where you found that information so we can clarify.

Thanks

Maybe I misread it but I understood multiple event registrations meant that you could register for more than one class at a time. So does that mean that in EE4 if I have 10 classes set up my end user can only register for one class at a time pay an then have to go back into the system or can he/she choose more than one class to sign up for. Thanks!

Hi Ann, I think you may be referring to multiple dates and times per event. That option allows you to create different tickets and assign them to different datetimes:

But can a user then sign up for the multiple dates for one event in one go or is that not possible with EE4?
Can they sign up for 2 events on 2 separate days in EE4. I am still confused. Thanks

You can create multiple occurrences of the same type of event by adding more datetimes. Then you can create tickets to register for one or multiple or all datetimes. So, attendees can buy one or multiple tickets to one or multiple occurrences of an event.

But say you have a golf outing Event and a class, as entirely different events in EE4, attendees cannot checkout with a golf outing ticket and a class ticket.

Does that help?

Garth, Thank you. Yes it helps. I am in a bind wanting as we are setting up a new website and would prefer to use EE4 and not migrate going forward. So is it possible for me to create an event called SEMESTER 1 and put all my classes in event SEMESTER 1 but have different names for the sub-events (I believe that is something like what is done with the cookies/muffins). If I can do that can I have some of the sub-events be repeating events and some not? So say I have a 1 day workshop and a class that runs every Tuesday for 6 weeks could those be subevents?

Thanks!

One more question as I read your feature descriptions. The ticket selector – can registrations to multiple different events (re a golf course and a class) be achieved by using the ticket selector or are the different tickets set up only for one event. Also if you allow someone to buy tickets to 4 Saturday events (per your sample screen) can you tell which 4 Saturdays have been selected?

Hi, the tickets / pricing options are set on a per-event basis. For example, if you have a golf event, then those tickets would only apply to this event and not any other events that have been created in Event Espresso.

But then how does the example showing the various cooking classes work? That is all one event isn’t it with a bunch of subevents that can be registered to separately but all in one transaction..
Is there an ETA for multiple event registrations in EE4

Hi AnnC,

I think the best way to see how/if this would work for your requirements would be take a look at the EE4 admin, create and event and see what you think. You can ‘test drive’ Event Espresso this way by signing up here:

Test Drive Event Espresso 4

How it is setup depends on how you want to track attendance, but as an example lets say you have a Cookery Course.

This course takes place over 7 days and hosts a different class each day.

Each day costs $20 or buy all 7 for $100.

In this example we need to track attendance for each individual day as each class can only handle 25 attendees.

So within the Event we would create 7 Datetimes (one for each event) – http://take.ms/3IqAS

Then a ticket for each of those classes, and a ‘All Classes’ ticket – http://take.ms/htrIs

If you click on the cog for the first ticket (Cookie Class) you can assign which datetime(s) that ticket should apply to. That ticket is obviously only for that class, so we will choose only the Cookie Datetime – http://take.ms/IH9dg

(All datetimes will be selected by default so its actually UNchecking all of the other tickets)

And then the same with all of the other tickets, each ticket applying only to the relevant datetime (class) that that ticket is for.

This applies until we get to the ‘All Classes’ ticket, if you by this ticket your ticket sale should apply to all of the datetime, so they should all be selected – http://take.ms/WEQhj

With this setup, if you register onto a single ticket that ticket applies only to the limit for that datetime, here is an example of me buying a cookie ticket – http://take.ms/ASxuA

Now lets say I wanted the ‘Cakes’, ‘Scones’ & ‘Bread’ I can select each of this tickets within the event – http://take.ms/na8Q2

Register onto those tickets and again those sales only apply to the relevant datetime limit – http://take.ms/rGEwM

finally if we register onto an all classes ticket – http://take.ms/cNkne

That sale applies to all the datetimes, because that person will be attending each class – http://take.ms/YGqd0

Its a single registration that applies to all.

So to answer your question regarding the 4 Sunday events, you would need to create a ticket that applied to those 4 Sundays in one that the user could purchase, or create individual tickets for each Sunday and they could register onto the ones they wanted.

To show you how this would look within the registration list – http://take.ms/fEi49

Does that help?
