Wewant to sell tickets for our theater via a wordpress website. Now we use Eventcalendar to publish our perdormances. What addons do we need to switch to Eventespresso? We should be able to:
> add our events once
> have different prices for every performance (full price + reduction)
> pay with IDEAL, the most frequently used payment method in the netherlands
> mail e-tickets to the buyers

Hi there, I think Event Espresso may work for your project but I did have a question.

In Event Espresso 4, a ticket option would be needed for a datetime. A datetime is the date and time in which a specific event (e.g. show) takes place.

For example, if you have an afternoon performance, then a ticket would be needed for that. If you had an evening performance, then another ticket would be needed.

Approximately, how many shows would you have per day?

We have usually 1 show per day, but in a weekend, it might be a maximum of 3

And once or twice a year we might have a festival with multiple performances on one day

Thanks, I recommend going with the business support license for Event Espresso 3 as it includes the recurring events manager. This will let you quickly build out a series of events (e.g. one a day) based on a schedule that you setup:

You could also go with Event Espresso 4, but in that case you would need to duplicate events to create additional events quickly as Event Espresso 4 does not have a recurring events manager at this time.

Were there any other questions that we could answer for you?

I’ve got your point
If i buy the personal licence: which addons should I buy extra to have:
> e-mailing e-tickets to our clients
> paymenth with iDeal
> different prices for 1 performance

Hello again,

You’ll need the ticketing add-on for tickets that could be printed or scanned using a mobile app.

Payments via iDeal are available in the core plugin for Event Espresso 3.

If you would like to offer the ability to select multiple price options in a shopping cart, then also select the Multiple Event Registration add-on.

I also recommend the recurring events manager add-on so you can build out events quickly. Event Espresso 3 does have a duplicate feature but the recurring events manager would be quicker.

apparently we have a problem now using version 3: the currencyes are not in the european format (with kommaś instead of dots). Is it possible to switch to EE 4 after all?
