Buy 1 ticket get another at a discounted price

Hi

I urgently need a way to allow the following...

For a set time period, e.g. one day, anyone purchasing a ticket will be able to purchase a 2nd ticket at a discounted price, is there a way to do this please?

Regards
Neil

Hi Neil

Unfortunately, there is no way to do this in the current system

Hmm thanks Tuan, any work arounds you can suggest?

Here are 3 ideas:

1. Add a checkbox custom fee field that enable customers buy a second half price ticket which is added on to the purchase price. Note: The second ticket will not count towards the number of people attending the event though.
2. Alternately, set up group registration with min & max participants set to 2, and each ticket price set to 75% of full price (75% x 2 = 150% = 1 full price & 1 half price ticket). Then you can get names for both participants, and you count 2 people towards the number of people registered.
3. Another way would be to setup a unique & individual 50%-off coupon code, set to allow 1 redemption only, that you could email to the customer after they purchase their first ticket. The customer would have to re-visit the site to by the 2nd ticket, and you would have to generate a whole bunch of coupon codes (generating the codes could be done in advance & imported into the coupon database).

Thank you James, the first one is not viable as it will not create an accurate attendee report, the 2nd one is a good idea but a little messy as I was wanting to charge full price for one ticket and that enables a third discount on the 2nd, the 3rd idea is not idea as I wanted it automatic, but I was aware of it and will probably go with it for now, thanks again bud
