Actually, I would be grateful if you could explain just how the Global Quantity (GQ) works. I see on the setup screen on the GQ web page that the event shown has 7 ticket types, but there is a single GQ checkbox. That suggests to me that all 7 ticket types reduce the one GQ counter. Is that right?
What I am setting up at the moment is a festival that has several separate events during a day (actually across two days). But only one of those events needs a GQ.
Perhaps I need to set up each sub-event separately. I will try that and see how the [event-list] shortcode presents them.
