Need advice on adding attendee to sold out event

All my courses have 5 people in them. I have an event on April 13-16 i’m having issues with. You can see it online @ https://immersionfreediving.com/pfi-intermediate-freediver-course/

EE has accepted 4 registrations and payments for the event EE says there are 3 spots left and the course is sold out. Because its incorrectly saying its sold out I had to sign up the last person outside of EE and took payment over PayPal and have his registration information in an email.

I”m trying to accomplish 2 things.

#1 I’m trying to add this person manually to EE but I can’t because the event is listed as sold out.

#2 Once I add this this person I need EE to display on the calander that is sold out and there are no spots left. Currently its says its sold out and says there are 3 spots left. This is leading to lots of calls and emails for people trying to sign up.

How do I make it says there are not spots left AND sold out.

I’m sure I just need to change numbers in the quantity and limit field but I don’t know what to change them to.
Here is link to the picture of the attendee data as its set up now.

According to the attendee list 3 people paid the 695 fee and 1 paid the 795 fee.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Ted,

May I ask are you using PayPal Standard or PayPal Express? You can find out for sure by going to Event Espresso > Payment Methods, and check to see which payment method is activated there.

Josh I’m not using pay pal at all through Event expresso. What i’m saying is since EE says the course is sold out when its not sold out, I had to accept payment directly through PayPal(not through EE or my website) Then I had to get him to email me all his registration data and I’m trying to add it into EE but I can’t because the course is incorrectly listed as sold out.

So here is the issue.

The calendar displays https://flic.kr/p/RWQTuz Sold out yet 3 spots left. Why is that?

You can see my attended data @ https://flic.kr/p/SXzoHF

When I look at EE attendee data there are 4 successful payments/registrations.

Why is it saying that is sold out. It is only aware of 4 sold spots.

Why is it saying there are 3 spots left?

I have a second ongoing issue.

How do I make sold out course not sold out any more. This is happening on multiple events. I have documented on multiple occasions that if someone tried to register for a course and that makes the course sold out but they don’t complete the registration, then that ticket is not released. They happened just a few days ago creating another event that is listed as sold out that only has 4 paid people in it. Shouldn’t list sold out unless there are 5 people.

Hi Ted,

I mentioned in your other support thread that you should go to Event Espresso > Maintenance > Reset and click on the button that says “Reset Ticket and Datetime Reserved Counts”. Since you’re not using PayPal that will likely fix what’s wrong on your site.
