I have a client who is a parasailing company. They offer parasailing at 500ft, parasailing at 1000ft and bananaboat rides. These things are offered at different times throughout the day but are Monday – Saturday. What is the best way to set this up? They are using EE4 so I cannot use the recurring event option.

Thank You

Hello,

If there are just a couple daily times for each activity, then you could try creating one event that will hold the date times and then the tickets for each activity. For example, there would be a Monday event with date times and tickets for each of the activities (e.g. parasail at 500, parasail at 1000, banana boat rides).

Here is an example of how to use the multiple datetimes and tickets feature:

If there are many daily times for each activity then I would create a separate event for each activity so one event for parasailing at 500 feet, another for parasailing at 1000 feet, and one more for banana boat rides.

So you could start by creating an event for parasailing at 500 feet for the first Monday available and you would setup the daily times that should be available along with the pricing and question groups and description. Then save the event as a draft and preview to ensure that it has information that you need.

Then click the duplicate button which will duplicate this event. Edit the title of the event and then the dates to be the following Monday and then save changes.

Then repeat that process above for however many weeks of events that you want to make available.

Then start again with parasailing at 1000 feet and create the first event and then duplicate it to build out a series of events. Afterwards you could repeat the process for the banana boat rides.
