Event Tickets Plus is the essential bridge between your WordPress website and a seamless, professional ticketing system. Designed for event organizers, venue managers, and community leaders, this powerful extension transforms your site into a robust platform for selling tickets, managing registrations, and tracking attendees directly from your WordPress dashboard. By eliminating the need for third-party ticketing platforms that charge high fees and take your users away from your site, Event Tickets Plus keeps your brand experience consistent while giving you full control over your event data.
Key Features
- Custom Attendee Information: Collect specific details from each attendee during the checkout process. Whether you need dietary restrictions, t-shirt sizes, or emergency contact information, you can create custom fields for every ticket type.
- Seamless Integration with WooCommerce: Leverage the power of the world’s most popular e-commerce platform. Event Tickets Plus works in tandem with WooCommerce to handle payments, taxes, and checkout flows, ensuring a familiar experience for your customers.
- QR Code Check-in: Simplify your event entry process with built-in QR code scanning. Attendees receive a unique QR code in their confirmation email, which you can scan at the door using a mobile device to verify tickets and check guests in instantly.
- Flexible Ticket Types: Create multiple ticket tiers for a single event, such as Early Bird, General Admission, or VIP passes. You can set individual inventory limits, availability dates, and price points for each tier.
- Mobile-Friendly Tickets: Provide a professional experience with digital tickets that look great on any device. Attendees can easily save their tickets to their digital wallets or access them via email.
- Attendee Management Dashboard: View and manage your entire guest list from within your WordPress admin panel. Easily export attendee lists to CSV for use in other marketing tools or for on-site registration verification.
Use Cases and Who It’s For
Event Tickets Plus is built for anyone who needs to manage attendance and payments for events of any size. If you are a local community theater selling tickets for a weekend production, a professional workshop organizer managing corporate training sessions, or a non-profit hosting a gala, this plugin provides the tools you need to succeed.
Because it integrates deeply with WordPress and WooCommerce, it is the ideal solution for businesses that want to keep their customers on their own domain throughout the entire purchasing journey. It is perfect for those who want to avoid the high service fees of external ticketing marketplaces and prefer to own their customer relationships and data directly.
