Does the new beta version with discount codes in it allow for a better volume ticket ordering user experience, or is this still missing functionality for EE4?
I looked at this thread https://eventespresso.com/topic/volume-discounts-ee4/ that mentions adding graduated pricing, e.g. 1-5 @ $15 and 6-10 @ $10, however if the user chooses 5 of the $15 and then 6 of the $10 ticket then they’re getting charged for 11 tickets instead of just 5@$15 and 1@$10, so how would that work? Hopefully I’m just missing something and you can point me in the right direction, thanks!
This is what I currently did to try and set it up so the first ticket is $200 and then every ticket after is $50 a piece http://i.imgur.com/JaQKsv5.jpg

You could remove the minimum qty from the second ticket type and make the first required – http://take.ms/GkSmS
This will force any registrants to purchase at least 1 of the $200 tickets then as many of the $50 tickets as they like.
Is that what you are looking for?

Unfortunately that wouldn’t work either because all of our events have multiple times associated with them, with different tickets. Using the required checkbox would force users to have to buy those tickets that are for different events times

Anyone have any other ideas on this hopefully?

Currently there isn’t any automatic discounts that would work in the same was as Volume Discounts in EE3.
So you need multiple ‘master’ tickets in which there much be at least 1 selected (the multiples are for different times for the event) then any additional tickets all charge $50.
Currently the only way I can see for this would be to create at a ‘Main admission’ ticket, then tickets for each time of the event, such as:
Main admission ticket £200 (could also be set to required)
Event time 1 – $50
Event time 2 – $50
Event time 3 – $50
However this would require all registrants to select a minimum of 2 tickets, the main admission ticket, then select their individual times.
I’ll check if any other members of the team have an suggestions, however if you could also provide a full breakdown of how the pricing works for this event it will help ensure any suggestions will actually suit your use case.

Basically each separate time will have the first ticket cost $200 and then $50 for each ticket after.
Would it be possible to achieve that some how with your beta version with the coupon codes? I did try installing that to check it out to see if it could, but the registration/checkout pages were broken (completely blank) and I didn’t take the time to troubleshoot

Hi Joren,
No, that currently isn’t possible with EE4 Promotions. The best way to set that up would be as Tony stated.

So you’re saying, realistically, the only way to do any sort of quantity discounts with EE4 then is to NOT have an event with multiple date/times?

Another way to say what we mean is you can set up each datetime where the first ticket costs $200 as its own event. Then you can use the Multi Event Registration add-on to allow buying tickets for multiple datetimes/events in one order.

Ok. Thanks. That could work too.
I think all of the datetimes for a single event will be the same pricing though, so maybe instead of having separate tickets for each datetime then we have one set of tickets and the registration asks the customer which datetime they’re registering for. That would allow for Tony’s proposed solution but just require a little more work on the management end to manually keep track of which datetimes have tickets sold

You’ll also need to keep track of ticket limits for each datetime too if you go that route.

Yeah, unfortunately I don’t see a way around that, it’s either that or each datetime has its separate event, which could be messy even with the multi registration addon since some of our events have all of the same information in them but 20 different times. We’ll see.

Hi Joren,
One other thing to keep in mind is when each datetime has its own event, then the attendee check-in lists are for only that event. Which could be a really good thing.
