While this is a question relating to StageShow+, and therefore should not strickly be posted on this forum. However, much of the answer is relevant to the freeware version of StageShow on WordPress.org and it is therefore justified in posing a response here.
StageShow does not include any definition of the duration of a show, so the fact that you have a “Show” that lasts for 3 days is not relevant to the selling of your tickets. So you should set the “Performance Time/Date” to the date/time of the start of you 3 day event. StageShow will sell tickets up to 1 hour before the start time, but with StageShow+ you can click on the “Show” button next to the Performance entry on the Performances admin page to display the “Expiry Time/Date” which can be modified to suit your requirement for a 24hr cut-off time. Add “Prices” to the show as required.
StageShow will show a Date/Time for the “Show” on both the Box Office listing, and on the Shopping Trolley once tickets have been selected. These entries should be “hidden” by changing the style of the associated <td> element. This can be done either by editing the CSS in your theme, or, if you are using a third party theme, by creating a child theme from it and adding it there. Note: The date/time will still be included on the admin pages.
You should create a new Email template to remove the Date/Time entry from Emails. The [ticketName] entry in the default template includes the Show Name, Date and Time entries. This could be changed to the Show Name by changing the entry in the template to [showName]. It is not possible to separate the Date and Time elements, but is you want to include the date, then the Show Name could be changed too include the dates of your festival.
I would recommend that you use the existing template as a starting point, and your template should be uploaded, with a new filename, to the following folder:
{Your-Site}\wp-content\uploads\{Your-Plugin}\emails
Extra details of the Festival (i.e. duration start/end times etc.) could be added either by putting them on the Box Office page using the WP page editor or in the case of StageShow+ by adding a Show or Performance Note using the relevant StageShow+ admin page.
