Allowing people to book 2 events at a discounted price

    I have 2 recurring events running on the same day each week and want to offer a discounted price if a person books both events.

    Currently I have set up 3 separate events in EME so people can book event A or event B or both events A+B. The problem is that when someone books a place in any of the events I need to manually balance out the remaining places in the 3 EME events.

    E.g. there are 10 places available for event A and 10 places available for event B. I allocate 5 places in the EME events A, B and A+B. Sometimes the first few people to book decide to book both events A+B, then EME shows other people that there are no more discounted tickets for both A+B. So I have to keep manually balancing out the number of available places in the 3 EME events.

    Is there a better way to do this?

    I read about Multiprice and Multiseat events but they appear to allow offering a fixed number of tickets at a certain price. But in my case, the sale of one type of ticket would need to reduce the number of tickets available at another price, so I don’t think this would work?

    I would suggest to use a multibooking form, but that doesn’t allow discounts (reason is that I would not know how to distribute the discount between 2 bookings of different events …).

    Maybe try using a multiseat event with a discount of type code? Using the code-type discount, you could then calculate a discount if the 2 types of seats are reserved.

    In theory I would have thought that it would be as simple as when a website lets you use a discount code if you add 2 specific products to the shopping cart. But I can see that it may be complicated with events, particularly if needing it to be only for 2 specific recurring events on the same day.

    Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll test out a multiseat event.
