TOPIC: Two different payment options to same event - purchase table

Hi,

My client needs to post two different payment options to one event (i.e, individual/group or table). The cost for individual is $100.00, but a table (10 people) is $900.00.

I added a new event called gala - table, but unpublished it so that it won't show in the upcomings jevents module, but when I do that it does not show up in the DT Register select event dropdown. I don't want people to think there are two different events when there is actually only one.

The original event is just called gala.

Is there anyway to setup DT Register and JEvents to handle this type of unique configuration?

Why do you need two events? Use both individual and group registration in the same event... set a maximum group size of 10. Set the individual rate to $100. Then set a group rate of $900 ($90 per person) for 10 people. This way, if someone registers a full group of 10, it will calculate $900 and collect the group details as you setup to be requested.

Thanks for the input, they may not have the names of the people. Some times companies buy a table and just give it to who ever can come.

They just want to purchase the whole table. Any ideas how to accomplish this?

Thanks

Ok... still one event... set for Individual only for $100. Create a custom field something like this:

Reserve a full table? Yes / No

Assign the value of $800 to "Yes" and $0 to "No". So if the user selects Yes, then $800 is added for a total of $900. The following confirmation page will show the updated total cost.

You could also optionally give a field for entering names, if they know them. Regardless, this is very workable.

Okay; that worked perfectly. Thanks a lot. DT Register is quite programmable, but it just requires a little explaining.

There a another event, but heres the twist (see below). If someone could guide me in the right path, it would be very much appreciated.

Golf Tournament
Entry Fee: $250.00 per person

Non-Golfing Guest(s):
- Breakfast
$25 per ticket for _____ # of tickets $_________
- Lunch
$40 per ticket for _____ # of tickets $_________

Total amount due $_________

Thanks

Okay, set the price per person to $250. Then you'll need custom fields to gather the optional breakfast and lunch tickets. Make two fields like this...

Select the number of Breakfast tickets needed: [dropdown fee field]

Put values like this:

None|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10

Put the fees like this:

0|25|50|75|100|125|150|175|200|225|250

Put the selection limits like this:

0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0

Make a field like that for Lunch as well except set the pricing based on $40.

You could also do a TEXTUAL field to put text above these options saying "Non-Golfing Guests" or whatever you want.

However many tickets are purchased will be added to the total registration cost and seen on the next screen.
