Cost information issue

Good evening tydirium,

Thank you for the great words! We really appreciate it.

To answer your question, this is actually not a bug. The Event Tickets add-on does not contain any price field. In order to get such a field, you would have to use a different premium add-on.

That being said, you can probably hide the “Free” mention using CSS or by taking a look at our Themer’s guide.

Have a great day!

Dear Geoff,

Thank you for your quick reply. Lack of price field is not a big issue, I just mentioned it because it is the part of the original package.

I have already investigated the code and the fields on the website cannot be hidden by CSS as they have no separate styles or ID-s which could be set to such behaviour. I will check your second idea, modifying the source code which I have feared because of the updates, but with this method it could be done safely.

Thanks for the idea and the outstanding documentation, I will report about the hoped success.

Hi. This information may help: if you use The Events Calendar plugin and want to sell tickets (not just free RSVP tickets), we offer a paid add-on: Event Tickets Plus

Dear Clifford,

Thank you for your kind offer, but our customers don’t prefer buying tickets online, so the add-on is not suitable for us, and our budget for development does not allow buying this license anyway.

Regards,
Attila

Is it possible to use the Event Tickets Plus plugin and *NOT* use it with WooCommerce? My client wants to show the price of each event, but only wants her customers to reserve a spot for the event, not pay for them online. Payment would be made at the door of the event.

I find it hard to believe that cost was a field in an earlier version of the free plugin, but was subsequently removed. What purpose could there be for that other than to nudge people into the paid plugins.

I have clients who use the Plus version of the plugin to sell online, but this particular client would prefer that people pay in person when they arrive. Surely she shouldn’t have to purchase the Plus version and install WooCommerce just to achieve this.

Good news, you can add the cost field back in Event Tickets: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/use-the-event-cost-field-with-tickets-installed/

@lee Yes, you can use the Event Tickets Plus plugin with many e-commerce plugins. See the details here: https://theeventscalendar.com/product/wordpress-event-tickets-plus/

Does anyone know why it might display the price with the word “Free – ” before it?

Thanks!

Hey @daniel,

This might happen when you have either an Event Tickets Plus ticket that has a price of 0 or when you are using RSVP tickets in combination with another ticket type.

We do have a snippet to remove the word free should you want to: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/how-do-you-remove-free-from-list-view-when-using-free-event-tickets-plugin/#post-1185605

Let us know how that goes.

Best regards,
Geoff B.

Thanks @geoffbel, but this solution does not work — When I implement your code above it completely removes the price from the front and backend.

I ended up finding the solution in your forums… The below code returns the price field in the backend and removes “FREE -” from the cost in the frontend.

function use_cost_field( $cost, $post_id ) {
 
    $currency = tribe_get_event_meta( $post_id, '_EventCurrencySymbol', true );
    $new_cost = get_post_meta( $post_id, '_EventCost', true );
 
    if ( $new_cost > 0 ) {
        $new_cost = $currency . ' ' . $new_cost;
    } else {
        $new_cost = $cost;
    }
 
    return esc_html( $new_cost );
}
 
add_filter( 'tribe_get_cost', 'use_cost_field', 100, 2 );
add_filter( 'tribe_events_admin_show_cost_field', '__return_true', 100 );

Cheers!
