Recurring Events with One Registration List

Events such as Reunions are usually spread out over several days. Sometimes they occur at different locations. For example:
Friday night dinner and informal get together
Saturday night formal dance

All the attendees are going to both events. Even if they are NOT going to one of the events, the price is still the same.
How can this be done so that there is only one registration...or only one Event file?
Let me know if you need more clarification.

Honestly, I don't know how to handle this requirement. You can create a single event, then maybe create custom fields to allow registrants to choose the days they want to attend...

I guess that's the only option

I understand,.. but that wouldn't create two calendar entries... which is what they are looking for as well. I can see the difficulty in a single registration... for multiple events.

What about having 1 master registration event with a checkbox field listing each event that people can attend, PLUS create individual events for each of the separate events, but set each event's Custom Registration Handle URL to the details page of the master event. The disadvantage: the user would have to click the register button a second time once they land on the master event details page (unless Tuan implements my code for custom group registration button text... then you could set the sub-events to Group Register only, just show one button labeled something link "proceed to registration", which would redirect to the master event details page ).

Great Idea... I have an online meeting with them Friday... and will bring this up! Thanks

Nice idea, James !

I had a similar need, such that I wanted people to be able to register for a "Series Pass", which would then register them for all the events in the series.

I created a custom Plugin that listens for the onAfterPaymentSuccess EB event, then creates registrations for them for all the other specified events. It has 2 fields: Event ID of the "Series" event and a comma separated list of Event IDs to be auto registered.

With the last major change in EB framework, it broke the Plugin though. I'm trying to work through it now to fix it.

I have been using another Event package that allows the event creator to decide if the want to Record Registration for Event as a whole (all repeats together) or Each Repeat Separately. It would be helpful to have short codes for First repeat start date:FIRSTREPEATSTART and First Repeat Link:FIRSTREPEAT. Attachment 1

A more robust Tooltip on the Calendar view when doing a mouseover would be fantastic as well. See example of a repeating event with start of event displayed, also more info showing in Calendar Cell. Having the ability to configure layouts by category makes this much or flexible. Attachment 2
