Event Pricing Disappears

Frustratingly took forever to find the solution, but thank you for having one. For those of us who can’t or don’t want to sell the tickets online but need a way to capture names/email address so invoices can be sent, Event Tickets Plus would be overkill. Out of the box, the free version removes the ability to add a price. This was the solution.

This actually isn’t working. The ability to set a price appears in the backend when you create/edit an event. But even though I’ve put a price in the “EVent Cost” area, it still comes up as “Free” when the event is displayed on the front end. Please help!

Same problem… If it was intentional, I have to given to the developers, it’s an excellent prank.

Hey folks,

Sorry for the delay in our reply!

I’m not seeing the same as when doing this simple test:

– Activate latest version of The Events Calendar and Event Tickets.
– Add the snippet to show the price field.
– Create a new event with cost set to $10 and a RSVP ticket.
– Verify that on the front-end the price range is correctly shown: Free – $10.

If you want to completely remove the Free part, you can use this code:

/* Force the use of the cost field of event and ignore tickets price */
function tribe_just_show_price_field ( $cost, $post_id, $with_currency_symbol ) {

$cost_utils = Tribe__Events__Cost_Utils::instance();
$cost = tribe_get_event_meta( $post_id, '_EventCost' );

if ( $with_currency_symbol ) {
$cost = $cost_utils->maybe_format_with_currency( $cost );
}

return $cost;
}

add_filter( 'tribe_get_cost', 'tribe_just_show_price_field', 10 , 3 );

Please let us know if this works as expected,
Best,
Nico

Hello – where do I add this code to hide “Free -” when my event has a price?
Plugins: The Events Calendar, Event Tickets

/* Force the use of the cost field of event and ignore tickets price */
function tribe_just_show_price_field ( $cost, $post_id, $with_currency_symbol ) {

$cost_utils = Tribe__Events__Cost_Utils::instance();
$cost = tribe_get_event_meta( $post_id, '_EventCost' );

if ( $with_currency_symbol ) {
$cost = $cost_utils->maybe_format_with_currency( $cost );
}

return $cost;
}

add_filter( 'tribe_get_cost', 'tribe_just_show_price_field', 10 , 3 );
