Tickets in Event but not yet bookable

Hello,

Please refer to the following:

https://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/set-up-event-bookings/

That does not specifically address the question but suggests that what I need is not possible.
So, can you confirm that it is not possible to set up tickets for an event which is not yet open for registrations?

Perhaps I misunderstood. You are not looking the “start date of ticket availability” option?

Thanks for the prompt reply.

If all tickets are not available until a future date then when a visitor goes to the particular event page then it says bookings are closed which looks the same as it being too late.

My ideal solution would be to have the ability to populate tickets with pricing etc. but have the registration not enabled.

As I say, I assume this is not possible as yet?

you can also try to modify or customized booking form messages under Events > Settings > Bookings > Customize Feedback Messages

Unfortunately Angelo’s suggestion is the best way for the moment, at least, not without modifying the template file in some way with custom PHP but that’s not something we can help with.

Whilst I can’t offer you any solutions right now, I will note this down for a future update, where maybe we can have a custom message when there’s tickets that will be available but not at the time of viewing.

Thanks for the feedback.
During a long drive today I thought of a solution for me anyway. I have added a category which I can then filter by on whether to show a link to the actual booking page.
I think this will work for me now but I think the idea of being able to set up events and tickets, and then turning on the ability to book separately would be a good feature.
