Ticket sold quantity doesn’t match registrations count

We have an event with one ticket type. There are 68 approved registrations.

The ticket shows 100 tickets have been sold, but 68 registrations – see https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MoXz4Ymy1Bj6QS_xZvRxaN_-FcdTzTEA/view?usp=sharing

Clicking on both the ‘sold’ and ‘reg list’ links takes us to the registrations – where there are 68 rows.

There are no registrations with multiple tickets. The max quantity per ticket is 1.

This was causing an issue as we had set the max quantity of tickets (event capacity) to 100, and then the event was showing as sold out. This is incorrect as there are only 68 registrations.

Why is there the discrepancy here? Where does the ‘100 sold’ number come from?

Thanks

Hi there,

Which payment method was/is primarily used for those registrations?

Actually, ignore me … I completely missing it’s a free ticket.

With that event editor open in one tab, open another and go to Event Espresso -> Events -> Default Settings.

Set Activate Advanced Editor? to Legacy editor and save.

Now refresh the event editor you had open previously.

Can you add a screenshot of how the Ticket & Datetimes section looks here?

Thanks for the speedy reply.

Please see https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TDScu1tJOXygFuPR2sqQrWrKxgOnSQO1/view?usp=sharing

The tickets with a black label are our default tickets. They’re not used on this event.

The sold / registered numbers for the free ticket have increased by 3 as we’ve had 3 more registrations since I opened this thread.

(For paid tickets we use Stripe).

Thanks

Hmm, there’s something strange here.

Although you’ve mentioned the expired tickets aren’t used on that event, there are registrations linked/sold within that event for them.

The total of the sold values from all of the tickets equals the total amount of sold on the datetime, so these aren’t just random numbers from something else.

What’s the history of that specific event inside Event Espresso?

Can you post a link for that specific event?

I see what you mean re the totals.

I’m not sure of the specific history of the event. (It was set up by another team member who is away at the moment). We’re on WP Engine so we don’t have post revisions available.

Is there any specific data I can provide re history that would be helpful?

(I’ll send the URL in a private reply)

Hmm, hard to say really.

I’ve seen something like this happen with Paid registrations when using PayPal Standard, what could happen there is the user could return from the site at the same time the IPN would hit, causing the sold value to be incremented with both requests and that over time would add up.

I’ve never seen this happen with Free registrations (that’s why initially I assumed it was a paid ticket).

Have any attendees been moved using the attendee mover add-on on this event?

And Imports using the importer add-on?

I’m just running through possible causes to see if we can narrow this down a little.

Unfortunately not, nothing stands out within that code as problematic.

Can you set up a new, clean test event to run registrations on and see if this can be reproduced there?
