how do you restrict use of various tickets available for an event? Can you link promo codes to tickets if you have more than one ticket type available for an event? I don’t’ see anything like this in the new version… how do you restrict access to tickets for things like comps, etc?

Hi,

how do you restrict use of various tickets available for an event?

I’m not sure I understand the question, when you create the Event you select which tickets apply to the datetime for that Event.

Can you link promo codes to tickets if you have more than one ticket type available for an event? I don’t’ see anything like this in the new version… how do you restrict access to tickets for things like comps, etc?

Currently Event Espresso 4 does not support Promo codes. If you need to use Promo codes on your events you will need to use Event Espresso 3.

When you create the Datetime for an event, you then create tickets, the tickets you create apply to a datetime. If you only have one datetime then the tickets apply to that datetime, if you have multiple datetimes you can select which tickets apply.

For example, here’s a single datetime event with all the created tickets assign to it (I also have archived tickets) – http://take.ms/UsZo1

Now heres a datetime with only the active ‘Free Ticket’ ticket selected -http://take.ms/ldnF3

Does that help?

Starting today, current support license holders can opt in to the pre-release channel and download the Event Espresso 4.7 and Promotion add-on pre-releases.

We’d love to get your feedback on some of the new promotion features and changes that we’ve been working on. These include:

  • New interface for managing promocodes
  • Promo code discounts now apply to entire order instead of per ticket
  • Promo code generator
  • Automatic (non-promo-code) discounts
  • Discounts limited by quantity
  • Discounts limited by start date and end date
  • A widget for displaying non-promo-code discounts
  • A shortcode for displaying non-promo-code discounts
Important: The Event Espresso 4 promotions add-on will activate only if Event Espresso 4.7 is active. This means you’ll need to install the Event Espresso 4.7 pre-release before installing the promotions add-on.

If you haven’t already opted into Event Espresso’s pre-release channel, you can go to your account page and check the box to opt in to the pre-release channel. Once you opt in, the download files will be available under the EE4 tab under the Pre Release Downloads heading.

You can find out more information about in the pre-release channel guide.

If you have feedback about Promotions or the 4.7 release, please reply to that Promotions announcement or start another new topic.
