This completes the ticket configuration required for this event.\u252c\u00e1 You can view the <a title=\"Ticket Types\" href=\"http:\/\/www.eventgate.com.au\/ticket-types\/\">Ticket Types<\/a> tutorial for more information on how to do this.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"MultiplePurchaseTickets\">Multiple Purchase Tickets<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventgate.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Multiple-Ticket.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"384\" height=\"93\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-90\" title=\"Multiple Ticket\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eventgate.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Multiple-Ticket.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eventgate.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Multiple-Ticket.png 384w, https:\/\/www.eventgate.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Multiple-Ticket-300x72.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For some events it may not be desirable for your attendees to enter the details (name, address etc) for each attendee, all they need to do is select the number of tickets they wish to purchase. This makes it easier for groups to register, but remember, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">you will not be collecting the specific details of each attendee<\/span>, just the number of tickets being purchased and who is purchasing the tickets. So if you need to print out name badges, for example, this ticket configuration is not a valid option. If you need to capture the details for each attendee, but also want to allow multiple tickets to be purchased for each registration, you can use a single purchase ticket and ensure the &#8220;Allow multiple attendees to register in one transaction&#8221; option is set to &#8220;Yes&#8221; in the &#8220;Registration Options&#8221; on the &#8220;Payment&#8221; tab.<\/p>\n<p>Setting up a single ticket, multiple purchase configuration is the same as the single ticket, single purchase, however, when adding the ticket, click the More Options button to reveal the advanced options. Then change the ticket purchase type to Multiple tickets can be purchased for each registrant.<\/p>\n<h2>Multiple Tickets<\/h2>\n<p>Many events require the registrant to select which tickets they wish to purchase. This is a simple matter of entering each ticket applicable for the event. One thing to note is the difference between how <em>single purchase<\/em> and <em>multiple purchase<\/em> tickets are added to the registration form.<\/p>\n<p>Below is an image of multiple <em>single purchase\u252c\u00e1<\/em>tickets:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventgate.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Multiple-Single-Ticket.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"367\" height=\"112\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-93\" title=\"Multiple Single Ticket\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eventgate.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Multiple-Single-Ticket.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eventgate.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Multiple-Single-Ticket.png 367w, https:\/\/www.eventgate.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Multiple-Single-Ticket-300x91.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 367px) 100vw, 367px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Note: The registrant is only able to select either <em>Adult <\/em>or <em>Concession.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Below is an image of multiple <em>multiple purchase <\/em>tickets:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventgate.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Multiple-Multiple-Ticket.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"399\" height=\"127\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-92\" title=\"Multiple Multiple Ticket\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eventgate.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Multiple-Multiple-Ticket.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eventgate.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Multiple-Multiple-Ticket.png 399w, https:\/\/www.eventgate.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Multiple-Multiple-Ticket-300x95.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 399px) 100vw, 399px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Note: The registrant may select both\u252c\u00e1<em>Adult\u252c\u00e1<\/em>and\u252c\u00e1<em>Concession\u252c\u00e1<\/em>as well as selecting multiple quantities of each<em>. <\/em>They do not need to choose quantities for both, but they must select at lease one ticket from either to register for the event.<\/p>\n<h2>Groups of Tickets<\/h2>\n<p>Some more complicate events require groups of tickets. This is common practice for conference events that are held over multiple days, where attendees may choose different content streams and attend different seminars.<\/p>\n<p>You can add ticket headings to separate different groups of tickets. You can view the<a title=\"Ticket Types\" href=\"http:\/\/www.eventgate.com.au\/ticket-types\/\">\u252c\u00e1Ticket Types<\/a> tutorial on how to do this, however in this tutorial we would like to cover how adding groups may affect the behaviour of your registration form.<\/p>\n<p>If you form has multiple <em>single purchase\u252c\u00e1<\/em>tickets separated into multiple ticket groups you need to consider if you want your attendees to be able to select one ticket for each group, or one ticket in total. For example, say we have an event with tickets as displayed below:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventgate.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Ticket-Groups-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"444\" height=\"294\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-98\" title=\"Ticket Groups 1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eventgate.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Ticket-Groups-1.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eventgate.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Ticket-Groups-1.png 444w, https:\/\/www.eventgate.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Ticket-Groups-1-300x198.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 444px) 100vw, 444px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Normally, in this scenario, you would want your attendees to be able to choose one seminar per day. To achieve this, make sure you set the &#8220;Create new ticket group?&#8221; option to &#8220;Yes&#8221; when you are adding or editing your ticket headings, see below:<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/www.eventgate.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/2e47c031ae016db63555a2e1b18c7c6d.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>However, below is an example where you may have multiple streams, each containing different seminars, in which case you may only want attendees to be able to select one seminar in total (regardless of which stream):<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventgate.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Ticket-Groups-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"409\" height=\"237\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-100\" title=\"Ticket Groups 2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eventgate.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Ticket-Groups-2.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eventgate.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Ticket-Groups-2.png 409w, https:\/\/www.eventgate.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Ticket-Groups-2-300x173.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 409px) 100vw, 409px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In this case you would set the &#8220;Create new ticket group?&#8221; option to &#8220;No&#8221; when you are adding or editing your ticket headings.<\/p>\n<p>Please also read about <a title=\"Ticket Groups \u256c\u00f4\u251c\u00e7\u251c\u2524 Ticket Classification\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventgate.com.au\/blog\/ticket-groups-ticket-classification\/\">ticket categorisation<\/a> to help distinguish tickets with the same description belonging to different groups.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are various ways in which tickets can be combined in a registration form.
