Multiday event (But not on following days)

[elzes]

Hello,

We organize an event that's hold on 2 different Saturdays(Maybe 2 events?). We want to have tickets separate for both Saturdays an one ticket valid for both Saturdays.

So 3 type of tickets:
Event 1 (for example on 14-12-2024)
Event 2 (for example on 21-12-2024)
Event 1 +2 (Valid on 14 and 21 december)

I tried a few setups 3 separate events, one event during one week with 3 categories but with al the setup the problem stays that the event has to last 1 whole week, while it's only 2 days. The only solution i can think off is create 2 events with both a ticket type for both days. The problem here is off course the checkin because that is event based?

Does anyone have any thoughts about this?

Hi,

alf.io is optimized for contiguous multi-day events, however support for non-contiguous multi-day events is on our roadmap. No ETA yet.

Your assumption is correct. Having attendees registered to two events (single date, multi-date) coming for the checkin will prove really problematic. I would advise against it.

I see two options here:

1. create a single event. Define ticket validity and check-in times for single-day tickets
   pros: easier to understand for attendees, easy to check-in
   cons: attendees with a two-dates ticket will receive an invitation (and a ticket) for the whole week

2. create two events - one for each day - and create/sell a subscription for both days
   If attendees buy a subscription, they can use the subscription code to pay for both events. You can even send tickets automatically to subscription buyer
   pros: easy check-in, two-dates attendees will receive two separate tickets
   cons: subscriptions are optimized for seasonal pass scenarios, so their use here might not be ideal

full support for non contiguous multi-day events will come in the future.
That being said, if this is a format that you organize often, and you want to help us accelerate the development of this feature, we'd be glad to discuss it with you.

Hi Celestino,

Thanks for your answer. Never tried the subscriptions but looks useful for this use case indeed (Maybe to much overhead for the customer). .I had a look at subscriptions but i miss the place where i can assign events to a subscription? Can you give me a hint?

Ok found it in the edit event you can assign events to subscriptions.

Our event is always a non contiguous multi-day event, so I would love to help with this feature. Please let me know how i can help with this
