I have a question about limiting registrations. I will be hosting events that include lodging, and it is possible for a registrant to pick from one of two lodging types…Single Occupancy or Double Occupancy.
Consider the following scenario…
I could support 12 Single Occupancy registrations, or 12 double occupancy registrations, but not a total of 24 registrations. I would like to make 12 “Tickets” of each type available, but have the system limit the total number of tickets sold, regardless of type, to 12.
Consider a more complex scenario…
As above, I have Single Occupancy (1X) and Double Occupancy (2X) registrations available, and a total of 7 rooms available to be booked. This could potentially support 14 Double Occupancy registrations with 0 Single Occupancy registrations, or conversely 0 Double Occupancy registrations with 7 Single Occupancy registrations. Of course there are other combinations of both Single and Double Occupancy registrations that would use up the total number of available rooms / occupancy limits (for example 4 Double Occupancy registrations and 5 Single Occupancy registrations would reach the 7 room / 14 bed limit – all though not all beds would be used).
Thoughts on approaching this would be most welcome!
Thanks

Hi,
With EE4 you could set the limits per tickets and per datetime.
“I could support 12 Single Occupancy registrations, or 12 double occupancy registrations, but not a total of 24 registrations. I would like to make 12 “Tickets” of each type available, but have the system limit the total number of tickets sold, regardless of type, to 12.”
So in this example, you would have 2 tickets (Single and Double) and you would set each ticket to have a capacity of 12.
Both tickets would apply to a single datetime (this will happen by default but double check it), and you can then give the datetime a capacity of 12.
This means if 12 single tickets are bought the event closes, same with 12 double tickets. Also the same with 6 single and 6 double (because though the ticket capacity hasn’t been maxed, the datetime capacity has!).
Does that make sense?
The flaw to all of this is that the double occupancy ticket will only register 1 person, so you may have to take the second persons details as just question answers rather than an actual registrant.
