FAQ

Are there any troubleshooting steps I should try before I post a new thread in the support forum?

First, make sure that you’re running the latest version of Event Tickets. If you’ve got any other add-ons, make sure those are current and running the latest code as well. Also be sure to check our knowledgebase.

The most common issues we see are either plugin or theme conflicts. You can test if a plugin or theme is conflicting by manually deactivating other plugins until just Event Tickets is running on your site. If the issue persists, revert to the default Twenty Twenty theme. If the issue is resolved after deactivating a specific plugin or your theme, you’ll know that is the source of the conflict.

Note that we aren’t going to say “tough luck” if you identify a plugin/theme conflict. While we can’t guarantee 100% integration with any plugin or theme out there, we will do our best (and reach out the plugin/theme author as needed) to figure out a solution that benefits everyone.

I’m still stuck. Where do I go to file a bug or ask a question?

Free plugin users can post in the Event Tickets support forum on WordPress.org. Our team reviews that forum weekly to look for bug reports.

If you’re already an Event Tickets Plus subscriber, you’re entitled to our actively-monitored Premium Support on our website. Generally, except in times of increased support loads, we reply to all premium support tickets within 24 hours during the business week.

What’s the difference between Event Tickets and Events Tickets Plus?

Event Tickets is our free ticketing plugin that has all the basics you need to sell tickets and collect RSVPs on your website. You can use Event Tickets with or without The Events Calendar.

Event Tickets Plus is a premium plugin that runs alongside Event Tickets and enhances it with extra features, including custom registration fields, shortcodes, WooCommerce integration, our mobile ticketing app and more.

Read more to learn which plugin is right for you.

Do I need The Events Calendar to run Event Tickets?

Nope! Event Tickets works with or without The Events Calendar. Even if you don’t have The Events Calendar, you can create RSVPs and tickets on WordPress pages and posts.

Can I email attendees using Event Tickets?

Yes. Event Tickets automatically sends an email confirmation after attendees register or RSVP for an event. If the attendee purchases a ticket, the confirmation email will also provide a ticket to scan at the door for admission.

What add-ons are available for Event Tickets, and where can I read more about them?

The following add-ons are available for The Events Calendar:

  • Events Calendar Pro, for adding premium calendar features like recurring events, advanced views, cool widgets, shortcodes, additional fields, and more!
  • Event Aggregator, a service that effortlessly fills your calendar with events from Meetup, Google Calendar, iCalendar, Eventbrite, CSV, and ICS.

awful +1 – look elsewhere

July 29, 2021
I agree with everything cleewp just mentioned. Support is so condescending and feels like they have an auto reply that says uninstall everything except our plugins and then try and report back. This isn't a great solution and they roll out inconsistencies in the user experience with new views and then support just says that it is working as designed. I'm regretting every bit of my decision to try to use this. Colossal waste of time and SO much work that will need to be redone now. I am confident that the competition is better. The Events Calendar is great, this unfortunately, is like a half-hearted attempt and shouldn't be used in production environments for large scale Woocommerce sites looking to sell large quantities of tickets to events. I won't be surprised if they shelf this eventually, especially with all of the recent shifting at the top of their organization due to acquisition.

Awful

July 16, 2021
Purchased this, as well as the paid add on Event Ticket Plus (for some reason they demand you run both), along with Woo-Commerce, The Events Calendar, and The Events Calendar Pro. So, it's like 5 plug ins -- all of which break on updates. Support is the worst I have ever seen for a paid plug in. I guess I have been spoiled, but this is just a time suck of bug hunting with an occasional email back like -- can you resubmit your ticket with your license? You can't even login to their support area without creating a separate account -- seriously! You have to have a 'purchase' account for your dashboard, and create a whole new 'support' account to put in tickets. And then, they ask you to 'prove' you have a license before they can help you. I can't believe that Tribe which was a gold standard, has gone from such an amazing company to something so horrible. Honestly, if I knew it was going to be this bad -- I would have just coded it on my own. Would have been better, and ultimately quicker.

not the greatest support but they try to assist room for improvement

Update: Improving, but with a rough support history

June 4, 2021
Update: I'm leaving my old review for posterity, but wanted to update after the first positive support interaction I've had with TEC in 3 years. I contacted the team about a conflict that was breaking another, entirely unrelated plugin. After being bounced around a bit and spinning my wheels, I was connected with a product manager who not only worked quickly to find a solution, but wrote a custom snippet to resolve it and was friendly and communicative throughout the process. It was a truly world-class support experience once the product manager was involved. I'm hopeful that this trend will continue! I've adjusted my review from 1 to 3 stars and will update again in the coming weeks if things continue to improve or if I don't have any breaking issues with this suite of plugins. -- I am counting the days until a better alternative to this plugin appears on the marketplace. I was hopeful that them being bought by Liquid Web would improve the customer experience, but it remains the same as it's been the past 5 years I've unfortunately been a customer. For one positive, this plugin has an impressive set of features that no other events solution comes close to. However, "solution" is probably generous. It's rare that an update doesn't break this plugin, and on the rare occurences where it doesn't, it breaks another, unrelated plugin! Support is very slow, and when they deign to reply, it's clear they haven't read your initial request at all. It takes a minimum of a dozen emails back and forth just to get them on the right track, and then the final result is either 1) "our plugin breaking a different plugin is actually the other plugin developer's responsibility, go talk to them," or 2) "we'll fix this in a future patch. No, we don't know when." If you have absolutely any other option (Eventbrite, Modern Events Calendar, etc.), definitely go with them and run for the hills from this company.

Excellent plugin and support

March 26, 2021
I would have rated this good or excellent except for some missing features which would have been really helpful. 1) I would be nice to have in the fieldsets an area for plain text, such as a paragraph to explain what the next questions pertain to. 2) With recurring events, it allows you to split an event into several times, but then you try to implement this it tells you that it isn't supported. That's an odd way to leave it. 3) I find some of the settings placed in confusing places. "Display", for example does not contain all of the display options. 4) The editor available to work on the display above and beneath the event is crude. It would be nice to have <hr>, color styles, etc. available. On the plus side the support has been excellent!
