Single and double Rooms

[Marcus Hertel]

I have the following problem:

My customers wants to use the event organiser for some kind of vacation booking plattform (which works fine):
But we have the following problem:

Imagine there are 6 rooms with 2 beds. You can book a single bed in a shared room for 700€. Or you can book a bed in a private room (technically the same room) for 1.100€.

Now my problem:
If somebody books a premium ticket (private room) 2 standard tickets have to disappear.
And in the same way its impossible to book a premium ticket if only 1 bed is free.
My customer just created individual tickets and its possible to overbook the system.

Hi Marcus,

I’m afraid I don’t think the plug-in can help here – it was designed for selling tickets for events, not as booking platform.

At best you could create a single ticket for each of the beds, and then require a customer wanting a private room to book two tickets. You could then use a discount code to reduce the price.

Of course, from an end-user perspective this might create a jarring experience but ultimately you could create your own front-end which presents the user with a more intuitive interface and maps that to a valid booking request (The booking form just POSTs data to a URL, so you could do that in the background).
