Payments from groups or individuals

    I’m organising some events where there is space for 6 teams of 4 or 5 people, and I’m struggling to find a way to limit numbers whilst allowing someone to either pay for a team or individually.

    So I want people to go to the event page and choose whether they are paying individually (cost is 10 per person), or as a team of 4 (cost is 36 total), or as a team of 5 (cost is 40 total). If they pay individually then we will manually put them with other individuals to make a team of 4 people.

    I tried using Multiseat events but the problem is that if 6 team tickets at £36 are sold then it still offers the team tickets at £40 and still offers individual tickets for sale.

    I tried using discount codes, and have the event price at £40 and then have a discount code for a team of 4 and another discount code for individuals. But then whatever I list as the number of available places will be incorrect. So if I list 30 places available and 6 team tickets are sold then EME will continue to offer places for sale.

    Is there some way to make this work with EME?

    EME can’t know if people sign up per person that they are in a team of 4 or 5 and if those teams are then “full”. What you can do is create your own evaluation filter and check it via that filter. For the available filters/hooks: https://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/category/documentation/12-hooks-and-filters/ . I think eme_add_booking_form_filter (to change the form html before it is shown to the user) and eme_eval_booking_form_post_filter (to evaluate a booking on post).
    You’ll have to integrate another DB for it to be of use in your case of course.
    Concerning teams: you can also ask for extra team info if a person indicates it is a team by using dynamic data. Even the dynamic data can “show” a hidden field that then influences the cost too (a custom field that has a value “Extra charge”, which can be negative for discounts too).

    Ok I’ll look into the filters. I was thinking that I might just have to accept bookings from teams only to simplify the problem. I didn’t think about “Extra charge” being negative, will look into that as an option. Thanks Franky.
