Hi Mark,

By available space for attendees do you mean spaces still for sale or in total?

If you have an EE_Event object you get both with something like:

// Spaces remaining for sale.
echo $event->spaces_remaining_for_sale();
// Total available spaces.
echo $event->total_available_spaces();

The price of an event is a little more tricky as you assign prices to tickets within an event, if you have multiple tickets which price are you showing?

// grab array of EE_Ticket objects for event
$tickets = EEH_Event_View::event_tickets_available( $post->ID );
			
// grab first ticket from array
$ticket = reset( $tickets );

//check if the ticket is free, if set the ticket price to 'Free'
if ( $ticket instanceof EE_Ticket ) {
    $ticket_price = $ticket->pretty_price();
    $ticket_price_data_value = $ticket->price();
    $ticket_price = $ticket_price_data_value == 0 ? __( 'Free', 'event_espresso' ) : $ticket_price;
}

echo $ticket_price;

Do you have a WP_Post object for the espresso_event post?

Aka a $post variable from the main query for an EE event post.

If so it should have the EE_Event object set as an additional property, so if you don’t have an EE_Event object but do have the WP_Post object for it, you can use:

if ($post instanceof WP_Post
    && $post->post_type === 'espresso_events'
    && isset($post->EE_Event)
){
    $event = $post->EE_Event;
}

$event should now be an instance of EE_Event for the current post.

However, we also have a helper method that can pull this in for you:

$event = EEH_Event_View::get_event($post->ID);

Thanks and you’re most welcome.

Something I do recommend when working with EE models/object (like the EE_Event object), is Kint:

Wrap your variable within d(); and you’ll get an awesome output that lists all of the methods available on the object.

It really helps find the method/property you want/need when working with the models:
