Ticket types

Adult, child, concession, early bird: each with its own price, capacity, sale window and per-order limit.

An event is rarely one price. Adult and child, standing and seated, early bird and full.

Each type on its own terms

A ticket type has a price and can have a capacity of its own, or share the event's. It can go on sale and come off sale on dates you set, which is how early bird ends without anybody remembering to end it.

A per-order limit stops one person taking the whole room.

Free tickets are still tickets

Set the price to nothing and the booking works exactly the same way: a place is held, a confirmation goes out, and the person appears on the door list. There is no separate free-event mode to configure.

Copy a ticket

Tickets on one event usually differ in a line or two. Duplicate one and the copy keeps its price, capacity, sale window, limits, deposit and the questions asked of each attendee, and opens ready for its new name.

A list that folds

Each ticket is a row that opens when you need it and says what it is while it is shut, so an event with a dozen ticket types is still one screen.

A price for members

With the paid plugin on the Pro plan, a ticket can be sold only to visitors signed in with a WordPress role you choose: a members' rate beside the public one, or a trip only your VIP members may book. Everybody else sees it greyed out with who it is for, or does not see it at all, and the server refuses it too.

With the paid plugin, tickets can also be sold together at one price as a package.
