Hi,
I want to create an event for following scenarios:
Lets say an event is running for a month. 1 August to 31 August. The Event offers 2 type of tickets: (a). Standard (b). VIP.
Now when user lands on the event details page, he should first select a date & now when user selects “Register”, he should be redirected to the registration page. On registration page, only those tickets should be visible to the user which are applicable for the “selected date time”.
Please let me know how can i achieve this functionality?
My Second question is:
If a event is running for multiple days lets say 20 consecutive days & there are two types of tickets available lets say “Standard” & “VIP”. Now by default, these tickets allow entry for all days (all 20 days). how can i control so that one ticket (Standard or VIP) allow entry for 1 day only & that day (date & time) should be selected by the user?
Will i have to split the 20 days event into 20 date-times? What if some events are running for more than 3 months? will i have to create the 90 date-times?
Now since there are two types of tickets, for each date time, 2 tickets are coming on registration page which have same names. for example:
Standard
VIP
Standard
VIP
Standard
VIP
Standard
VIP
……
……
This is very confusing. How to control & avoid this?

Hello,
90 times times will unfortunately not work. You’ll see a warning about max_input_vars which is a limitation with storing information about the event.
For these events that run for an extended period of time, do you offer the option for registering for one-off events or is it required for a registrant/attendee to pay upfront for events that take place across several days?

Hi Lorenzo,
Thanks for your reply.
Lets say a play is running for 10 days & everyday the same play is repeated. So a customer will want to register for only one day & he can choose any date-time for that. A ticket allows entry for 1 day only. So how can we do it? Do we have to split the 10 days running events into 10 date-time slots & assign a ticket for each date-time so that user buying that ticket should allowed entry to that date-time only?

My actual problem is that I have to create an event for a restaurant who offer 2 type of packages. “Standard” Package includes Free Dinner & “Premium” Package includes Free Dinner with unlimited drinks. This offer is running for months. Any user who buys ticket for “Standard” or “Premium” package should be admitted only once for the date he has bought ticket for. How can we achieve this using EE4?

Currently this is not possible without basically re-writing your own ticket selector. Eventually we would like to add this functionality within EE and requested feedback from users here:
https://gist.github.com/joshfeck/158e934023658b12cf9e
Currently to control the specific date that you want the ticket for you need to create a datetime for that date and assign a ticket for that datetime and yes this means you would need a Standard and VIP ticket for each datetime.
Your event seems to be a recurring event which is something EE4 does not currently support, we have a recurring events add-on planned for EE4 which will make these events easier to manage.
You could separate your events into ‘weekly’ recurrences which means you would have 7 datetimes (one for each day assuming mon-sun) and 14 tickets (Standard and VIP for each datetime) which should then be a little easier to manage at this time.
Would that work?
