We have a conference with roughly 80 seminars people can attend. The conference and the majority of the seminars are free (roughly only 5 of the seminars have a fee associated with it). Would it be possible for us to set up the conference to have one ticket but allow attendees to choose which of the seminars they want to attend and have that information shown on the main ticket?

Hi there,
With Event Espresso to give the user a choice of the seminars they will be attending each of those seminars will need to be an individual ticket, however 80 tickets within a single event will likely be confusing for your users.
Could the ticket selection be broken down further at all? Possibly spread across multiple events?
Do you need to track attendance for each individual seminar or just the overall conference?

Yes, 80+ tickets would not be ideal. We would like to just have one ticket that would double as a name badge that can be printed off (except for the handfull of paid seminars which could have a separate ticket). We wouldn’t need to track each individual free seminar (we’d like to if it were possible) but just the overall conference

You could set up the registration form so it captures the seminar choices. So for example, for the purpose of illustration, let’s say the 80 seminars happen within 10 specific time blocks. What you could then do is set up 10 registration questions (radio button type might be best) where they can select 1 of 8 seminars that happen at that time.
Then you use the [QUESTION] and [ANSWER] shortcodes to display their seminar choices on their main ticket.

Cool thanks Josh! So would I be able to loop through the events to set up the registration form or would those question/answer fields need to be keyed in manually?

Loop through which events?
To setup the registration question Josh is referring to you would go to:
Event Espresso -> Registration Form -> Questions -> Add New Question.
Add a radio button and add group of you wish the user to select from Seminars to that question – http://take.ms/dfzig
If you are breaking this down into different time slots, each with a selection of seminars you would repeat this for each slot.
The above would need to be entered manually.
Is that what you are asking?

Yes, because there are so many seminars we were hoping to be able to leverage the events that were already in the database in some fashion rather than manually entering them. We would like our users to be able to register for the 2-day conference and have one ticket, yet allow them to select which of the seminars they wish to attend as an itinerary of some sort

Currently we don’t have any method of creating question values based on the events within the database, so you would need to create those manually.

is it possible to add a cost to the ratio options? we charge an additional fee for some courses and it would be helpful to use this method.

Not currently, with the current version of EE4 you would need another ticket the user could register onto.
We do have that feature on our roadmap for a future version of EE:

Please feel free to add your vote and any comments to that board as we will be using it to help prioritize development.
