We have a line item for sponsorships that include multiple tickets for a flat price. How do we make this work in the system?

Hi there,

You’ll need to create ‘ticket bundles’ to do that:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/create-ticket-bundle/

So you edit the ticket options and set the Minimum and Maximum qty to the number of tickets required, for example for a bundle of 2 tickets you set the value of both to 2 – http://take.ms/m1Oxw

Note that when doing this you need to set the ticket price to the price per ticket, not per bundle, so for your bronze bunlde ($650) that is for 2 tickets you set the price to $325.

Ok this is a real message. I have done this but the UI is confusing as under quantity they are forced to select either 0 or the number of tickets in the bundles with a full price next to the number which would make me think I am buying X number of bundles at the full price.

For example if I were purchasing bronze (see screenshot) I would think I was purchasing 2 bundles at $650 each.

in addition there is no way for me to get the total of 10,000 correct on the diamond membership with the number of tickets given. See screenshot above

That’s the only method EE currently has available to create ticket options that include more than 1 ticket for a fixed price.

For the ticket selector showing qty’s in the select field you could use some JavaScript to change the select to a checkbox, then have the checkbox select the ‘first’ element in the qty field if its selected. I have an example of doing that here:

https://gist.github.com/Pebblo/737310c7309436231008666ac27e9662

However, you’ll need to modify that function some as it’ll apply to every event as it stands.

Unfortunately, I can’t think of any way around that other than using a single ticket.

I would rather override what is in the selector box since I still sell individual tickets also. This is core functionality and many people sell groups of tickets that do not equal a round amount once divided.

I would like you to dig in on this and come up with a fix this core UX issue please as it effects our non-profit greatly

Should that be you would rather not override the select?

This is core functionality and many people sell groups of tickets that do not equal a round amount once divided.

Either way, as it stands this is the only available option within core at this time.

If this was something I could easily fix and give you a snippet to do what you need I would have already done so, but it’s not so I can’t just ‘dig in and come up with a fix’.

It’s going to need the core plugin core refactoring to accommodate, I’ve created a ticket for us to investigate but even in doing so, this feature won’t be introduced ‘soon’ as we are currently working on other areas of the plugin so if it’s a deal breaker for your events it’s unlikely to be available in time for those.

This is extremely frustrating as it is confusing to the customer. Please review and see if there is a way to sell individual tickets and groups of tickets on this page:

You’re currently using the features within EE that allow you to sell individual and group tickets.

The function I gave you earlier can be modified to skip the first ticket in the list to leave that as a ‘standard’ select field and then set the others to a checkbox.

Change Line 7 to be:

$(".tckt-slctr-tbl-td-qty:not(:first) select").each(function(){

You’ll then have a select for the first ticket in the list and all others will use checkboxes.
