Hi Scott,

With EE3 you’ll need to use the Multi Event Registration Add-on and add the event to a ‘cart’. This then allows you to select quantities for each ticket type.

EE4 include a ticket selector that allows you to do this within core.

Which version are you using?

Hi Scott, you can set that up by using the add to cart feature from the multiple events registration add-on. This will introduce a shopping cart option that allows attendees/registrants to select their ticket (pricing) options and then complete registration checkout:

Hi Scott, with your new example, that add-on won’t be needed. I thought you meant registering for multiple events at once as in event ABC + event XYZ + event 123.

The core Event Espresso 3 plugin allows you to click on the add more attendees option and information will be requested for them.

You’ll need to enable group registration via the event editor and then save changes:

Before purchasing additional Add-ons, is there a reason you are not using EE4?

Edit – The reason I ask is EE4 supports this within the core plugin itself. It allows you to select multiple ticket types within a single registration without any add-ons.

We’d have loved to include promo code functionality within EE4 from the beginning, but the promo code feature is not a simple feature to add.

When you consider the scope of promo codes it clearly starts to become a large project quickly, for example some users want the codes to apply on a per ticket basis, others on a per ‘cart’ basis and then others a mixture of the two. The ability to apply Promo codes to specific events or all events and be available to use between specific dates. The ability to set quantity limits on how many times a promo code can be used. Then there are taxes and price modifier combinations to take into consideration and at what point to apply the promo discount and continue the values through EE into the invoices, messages and front end/admin display.

As you can see its already starting to become a significant feature to apply into the system and the above is intended as a high level overview not a full breakdown so there will be sections I haven’t included.

I can only apologise for the wait but there is a lot to consider with features like this, we also found improvements we could make to the datetime system which in the long run will help keep datetimes stable and allows the promo codes to hook into that system better.

So just to clarify the above, currently to have the ability to purchase multiple ticket types from a single event with EE3, you need the Multi Event Registration Add-on

You can then add the event to a ‘cart’ select the quantity of each ticket type and click through to registration, at that point Event Espresso will request your attendee details based on the setting for the event.

However, you mentioned this above –

1 Event, 1 registrant, 2 (or more) attendees – will the plugin prompt for the names of the additional attendees? Just double-checking.

1 registrant? Can you explain this further please?

Currently if you want to register 1 adult + 2 children you add the Event to the cart – http://take.ms/vi1yM

View the cart and you’ll see something like this – http://take.ms/vi1yM

Select the tickets and click to Enter Attendee Information – http://take.ms/4TMzz

EE will then request the information – http://take.ms/ynxwT
(This depends on your event settings, this event requests the ‘Personal Info’ group for all attendees)

Once you enter the information you can continue to payment.

It is 3 registrations grouped together with the Primary Attendee (the person entered into the first attendee info box)

Is that what you are looking for?
