I am trying to create an event for a pre-registered 6-week class. I have created the 6 separate date times so that they appear in the calendar. But I would like to ticket this event (with a limit of 18 tickets) as one event. With one cost for the full 6-week program. I also want an early bird price and a later price. I have figured out how to make two different ticket prices sold at different times. But I need to make sure the total tickets from both prices does not exceed 18. So this is 2 questions in 1. 1. How can I ticket all 6 weeks as one event? 2. How do I make sure the two differently priced tickets does not exceed 18? I’m using EE4 Thanks.

Hi there,

1. How can I ticket all 6 weeks as one event?

If you have created a single event with 6 datetimes, then your ticket should already apply to all of the datetimes within the event.

To confirm click the ‘cog’ icon on the ticket editor and check which datetimes are set on that ticket – http://take.ms/fwaq8

With the setup I have there a single ticket purchase will adds a ‘sold’ value to each of the datetimes. So that leads onto…

2. How do I make sure the two differently priced tickets does not exceed 18?

You set the ‘datetime’ limit value on all of your datetimes, your event can only sell up to that limit, using any combination of the tickets available.

It would look something like this – http://take.ms/JrVRK

Both those tickets apply to all datetimes so any sales add onto the limit, I can see any combination of tickets up to a max of 16.

Is that what you are looking for?

Thank you. This does answer my questions. I do have one more question though. When someone clicks on the event, I don’t like the look of how all 6 date times are showing up in the event. Is it possible to have the date times appear in the calendar but in the event, hide them (since it will be clear in my event description anyway). I just want it to look a little cleaner. I tried to figure this out yesterday but couldn’t seem to do it.

I also have some questions about changing some of the wording (like venue contact, etc.) but that is a separate topic so I’ll look it up in the forum and post separate if I don’t find it.

Hello,

Would you like to hide the datetimes for just this event or all events?

Also, as an alternative option you could show them inline:

The messaging in Event Espresso is also translation ready so you could use something like a gettext filter to change the messaging:

I think I want them to appear in the calendar but when they click on the event I don’t want the date times to appear at all. Also, I can’t seem to see that the registration button comes on in my test. Not sure if I’m missing something?

As for the translation ready stuff – I get what it can do but may need to get my web designer to interpret and set it up – thank you!

If you have a place where you can add some custom CSS to your site, the following will hide all of those date times:

.event-datetimes {
display: none;
} 

If you don’t have a place, you can install the Reaktiv CSS Builder plugin.

If you can post a link to the page where the registration button isn’t displaying, we can investigate further.

Thank you. That code worked. I am still having trouble with one other thing. I have bridge theme and it posts under the event photo the date and time and person that posted the event and allows people to like it. i want to get rid of that. I tried this code that I found somewhere in the forum but it didn’t work:
.single-espresso_events.entry-meta{display:none,} – I do want the post date to appear in my blog posts, just not my events. Is there something else that will work?

Right now my page is hidden so I can’t send link to the page without the button. I’ll look into it further first.

.single-espresso_events.entry-meta{display:none,}

That code is actually wrong as it has a comma at the end rather than semi-colon, it should be:

.single-espresso_events.entry-meta{display:none;}

Was that just a typo made here or is that also the same on the site? (It may prevent that CSS from working if it is)

However the section you are looking to remove is added by the theme itself so it may use a different class than the above meaning it won’t work at all. We would need to see the page so that we can provide a code snippet to hide it on your page.
