TOPIC: Parent and Child required registration

Hi,

I have an event where we require a parent attend along with their child. We'd like to also allow additional children.

For example,

1) John (parent, 30$)
2) Jimmy (child, 10$)

or

1) John (parent, 30$)
2) Jimmy (child, 10$)
3) Jane (child, 10$)

Parents can attend w/o children but children must be accompanied by parents. Is there any way to set this up?

Thanks!

I have the same requirements.

For an event I need to have a responsible adult on site, but there may be two or three (grandparents often attend), I need to collect their details and have them volunteer for certain parts of the events. There is no cost for these parents attending, but they may purchase t-shirts etc.

The kids then have a whole different set of questions and costs

I can see how a pre-booked event can help, but I want to add up all the entries into one invoice.

Is that possible?

You can create a custom field so the user can select Parent or Child. based on their selection, the price can be modified (up or down). We're about to release 2.6.6 later today that adds a brand new option for custom fields... where you can create conditional fields. Then you could have additional custom fields that show after a user selects Parent.... and a whole different set of custom fields that show if the user selects Child.

The only setback is that you can't REQUIRE that there is at least one parent registering. You can of course give that in the instructions, event description, etc... but there would be no automated check to verify at least one parent was included in the registration.

I was wondering if you could finagle it with prerequisite events?
Eg a parent registration would be a prereq for the child registrations?

Would you be able to purchase both in the same order and satisfy the prereq check?

Thanks!

Yes, you could make a parent event, then a child event... make the parent one a prerequisite... definitely. However, they would be two separate transactions. Support for registering multiple events in one payment transaction is in progress, but not yet available.
