    Pricing problem (smaller deposit needed on big ticket events)

    Some events are priced at 15 USD a ticket and that works fine as user will book and pay for ticket.

    But if some tickets are priced are 800 USD Im wondering if its possible to set a smaller deposit say 100 USD for individual events. (the rest payable in person at the event).

    If I list each events ticket price at the deposit price then when I list all events on the events page then some events will only be priced at this deposit amount which is misleading.

    So What Im asking is whats the easiest way to list the events by the total ticket price so user can see this total ticket price but then when directed to Paypal/Stripe the users are only requested to pay the smaller deposit (100 USD )if this a big ticket event?

    Well, I would just advertise this event at 800 usd in the event format, but in the “real” price just put 100 usd.
    Then, just make sure that in the event details and on the paypal payment form you mention the “real” price issue …

    I have set the event price as the deposit required so the payment side works fine.

    But how can I set the “visual” price on the events page as the true price of 800 ? Screen shot here –

    In your event listing, change the format to not show the real price, but either a fixed price or solve it by using conditional tags:
    – in your event, define an attribute with the “real” price of 800
    – in your event listing format, check that attribute using conditional tags, and if present show that as value, otherwise show the real price. An example that should work:

    [eme_if tag='#ESC_ATT{realprice}'] #_ATT{realprice} [/eme_if]
[eme_if tag='#ESC_ATT{realprice}' is_empty=1] #_PRICE [/eme_if]

    Thanks for the reply Frankie.

    I have added #_ATT{REALPRICE} into single event format as below

    custom attribute

    Im not sure what to do next?

    Putting it there is too late to be taken into account by the parser that finds the attributes (but it is correct there, so it will get replaced correctly later on).
    Easiest method is to just create a template with this attribute (nothing else needed) and it should then be possible to use. So create a template and put any and all attributes you want to be able to use in your formats ??
