We offer 2 day events, with optional tours (at an additional cost), and a dinner (at an additional cost), to multiple registrants of Day 1, Day 2, or both day conference ticket buyers. We also want to collect personal information for tickets sold for Day 1, Day 2, Both Days tickets. However, how can we set up the ticketing and/or questions such that we can charge registrants extra if they want to attend a tour or dinner yet don’t ask them to fill in their personal information again?
I envision something like a set of radio buttons with “Attend Tour for $50? Yes or no?” that is associated with a specific attendee.

Hi Pete,
I envision something like a set of radio buttons with “Attend Tour for $50? Yes or no?” that is associated with a specific attendee.
That would basically be what the Price Modifier Add-on will do, however this is not currently available. We do have it added to our Trello board here:
https://trello.com/c/uJhRDmvT/104-price-modifier-add-on
If you could add your vote there and any comments on how you feel this would work best it will help us prioritize our developments.
Currently to do what you are requesting you would need to disable all question groups within ‘Questions for Additional Registrants’ for your event, this section – http://take.ms/ToUBD
This means that only the primary registrants details will be requested regardless of how many tickets are selected, you can then create additional tickets the user can select, so you have:
General admission $100
Attend a tour $50
Add a t-shirt $20
All as individual tickets the user can select.
Another option, if you want the ability for multiple users to register at once, is to create tickets with those additions already included, for example:
General Admission $100
General Admission + Tour $150
General Admission + Tour + T-Shirt $170
You would then need the additional questions selected so that each user needs to provide the details.

Hi Tony,
You and all the other talented folks at Event Espresso do realize that this allows your clients to do more business, right? I’m not talking about selling T-shirts, here. This is basic functionality of a shopping cart system, a basic e-commerce feature – that – selling events – is what it is, at the very core. The workarounds are a money loser for us (adding to gainly amount of tickets to compensate or removing the secondary registrant questions – which removes our ability to track their information – names, business, department, province, etc. – who our customers are), and so is not having this feature.
Is there any other options we’ve missed here?

Event Espresso is not a shopping cart system, its an events management system. The two may have similarities but are different systems entirely.
As mentioned having add-on items available within the registrations is something we are working on with the Price Modifier Add-on, however it is not a simple feature to add into EE so takes time 🙂
The T-Shirts were simply an example, a lot of users use the above work around to include add-on items within their events but obviously it does not suit all use cases.
Is there any other options we’ve missed here?
No, not currently.
The above 2 options are the only way to include additional items within the registrations when using Event Espresso at this time.

Tony,
As you know, there is a “Use Attendee #1’s information for All attendees” check box option during the registration – but it only works when you click “advanced copy options”, then uncheck & then recheck the “Attendee #2” check box.

Hi Pete,
It should copy the first time that the box is checked.
Is there another event or your site that we could take a look at?

Hey Pete,
It turns out that the issue you’re seeing with the copy checkbox is caused by a bug in the Januas theme. You can apply a temporary fix to the theme by opening up the /lib/januas.php file and scroll down to around line 160 where you’ll find the januas_enqueue_scripts() function.
At the very beginning of the function, you’ll see these two lines of code:
wp_deregister_script('jquery');
wp_register_script('jquery', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/lib/scripts/jquery-1.8.3.js');
What the code is doing there is removing the version of the jQuery library that’s bundled with WordPress. This is really bad.
You can remove or comment out the code and the bundled version of jQuery will load in its place. Here’s an example that shows how to comment out the code:
// wp_deregister_script('jquery');
// wp_register_script('jquery', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/lib/scripts/jquery-1.8.3.js');
The permanent solution for this issue will be to contact Showthemes. They really need to fix this.
