Spaces vs Cap booking at

[AK]

Hi,

Is “Spaces” the number of tickets a specific user can book at the same time?

while “Cap booking at” is the number of tickets available in total, for the event?

…if I set “Spaces” to 1, each visitor can only book one ticket at a time? after a refresh of the form they could book another one until “Cap booking at” number is reached?

Just doublechecking 🙂 please let me know if I´missing something

Thanks!

Hi again,

I see now after some testing that my description above is not how it works.
Do you know of a simple (preferably) way to restrict visitors from booking more than one ticket at a time without setting the “Spaces” to 1 ?

Thanks!

I have eo-ticket-picker.php in my child-theme and tried to set <input type, max value to “1” instead of the variable there but I believe it’s overwritten after that by other js function.
Grateful for your help with this!

We found another solution where we added a textarea with the purpose of filling out names of all attending.

Thanks!

Hi AK,

Sorry for the delay. Just to confirm:

• spaces is the he maximum number of that ticket type that can be sold
• cap booking at is the maximum number of tickets that can be sold

These are subtly different, and if you only ever have one ticket type they are essentially the same. The intention is that if your event has capacity for 100 people, and you have different ticket types (e.g. adult, child and concession) and you don”t care what the proportions of each ticket type there (e.g. 40, 40, 20) or (60, 30, 10) you would have to set the spaces of each to 100. Without the ‘cap booking at’ your event would have then have effective capacity of 300. That setting allows you to set a limit of the total number of tickets sold (e.g. to 100).

If you only have one ticket type and sImple booking mode enabled, it reduces the booking to form to a simple indication of attending (e.g.a booking with one ticket). No ticket options are presented.

Otherwise,, it is possible to limit the number of tickets in a booking, but requires a bit of code: https://wp-event-organiser.com/blog/tutorial/limit-bookings-to-one-ticket/
