Q: I've been using The Events Calendar and companion app Event Tickets Plus app on my WordPress sites, but honestly, I'm not very happy with it.

1) It's a bit glitchy and somewhat limited in it's functionality.

2) Their scan app totally sucks, half the time it doesn't work and another biggie is that it doesn't include the ticket type in the app interface, so in the instance that one customer has multiple ticket types that gain them access to different parts of the event, we had to go in and manually change the title of the each ticket we'd issued them so we'd know which ticket to validate at which entry point, which was a royal pain in the ass.

3) In the instance when we have sold a VIP package that includes a table of eight, for example, we have to go in and manually issue their eight tickets rather than them being able to be automatically generated w/ eight different QR codes once they purchase a VIP package. When we're rockin' it on VIP tables sales, this adds up to alot of extra manual work we have to stay on top of. Unlike when someone carts a qty of eight general admission tickets thus the system would kick out eight tickets to them with unique QR codes for validation at the gate, when someone carts one $1000 VIP package that includes eight tickets, along with other perks such as signage, recognition, etc., is it possible with your plugin to have that automated or would it still be a manual process to issue their tickets?

I love the idea of using a website plugin to sell tickets rather than having to use a third party ticketing provider like Eventbrite b/c it puts us in the drivers seat of our event and our patrons don't have to pay extra ticketing fees on top of their ticket price.

I'm seriously looking at your app as an alternative to the Event Tickets Plus plugin. Can you speak to the aforementioned issues and how your plugin differs from Event Tickets Plus or solves for some of the issues we've had with them, and also can you speak more generally to what you feel are the primary differences between their plugin and yours?

A: Hi,
Greetings! Thanks for reaching out to us.
1) If you may explain a bit more, we will review the functionalities.
2) If you have any caching plugin that compresses scripts, might cause the QR scanner to not work. Otherwise, we didn't get report of issues like that.
Ticket type is showing if you have two step checking as shown here: https://support.themewinter.com/docs/plugins/plugin-docs/event/qr-code/#3-toc-title
3) The process is will be the same as general process for VIP tickets also. We have the feature request to accept a single ticket rather than having separate tickets for each. Our team R&D team will decide about the addition of the feature in our plugin.
You may also add your feature request to our roadmap here: https://themewinter.com/eventin-roadmaps/#ideas or contact our support center for more.
Regards

Respectfully, your response is incomplete and not thorough:

Ticket type: Two step process as opposed to what? Is that the equivalent of two factor authentication, so every time we want to check someone in, we have to go through two steps instead of one just to be able to see the ticket type on the interface? Is that what you're saying?

VIP Packages: Are you saying your process would be the same as Event Tickets Plus in that we'd have to manually issue the eight tickets in the example I used? As for your feature request to accept a single ticket rather than eight, that doesn't really help b/c all eight people in the party are certainly not going to arrive together and needing that to happen in order to validate a single ticket for a group of eight is just unrealistic, if not impossible. The only way that works is if that single ticket can be validated eight times. Please clarify.

You really did not address my final question of how Eventin differs from Event Tickets Plus. Please elaborate.

We get feature requests to show custom information in the ticket and we are considering it. Your upvote on our roadmap on the feature request will help faster update about the progress. Here is the link to our roadmap: https://themewinter.com/eventin-roadmaps/#ideas.

VIP Packages: In the current process, you can order for attendees and then 8 separate tickets will be generated. Then they can individually show the ticket and get entry.

I hope you get your answer. If not, kindly let us know. We will try to elaborate more.
