Hi,

Our client has events that will cost a certain amount for the general public but will have a different pricing structure for members of the site. Essentially each member will be associated with a larger company which has purchased event hours in bulk. Instead of charging the member a dollar value, the company’s hours will be decremented.

Initially we were trying to process the members separately and simply register them for an event without purchasing a ticket, but there doesn’t seem to be any method for registering an attendee programmatically. If I missed something there, please let me know.

The next strategy is to create a custom payment method that allows company members to pay with company hours, but this still has the issue that members who are paying with company hours are seeing the regular prices the whole way through the process until they select the company hours payment method. Also, the EE reports still show the member as having paid the full amount of the ticket.

So my question is:
Without creating an entirely new ticket selector module and single page checkout module, Is there some way to either A) create multiple different tickets whose availability is dependent on a role (or simply logged in or not) , B) alter the price of a ticket based on a role, or C) register an attendee w/out purchasing a ticket.
