Use Cases

Events Manager runs on one model: an event with dates or timeslots, a capacity and optional tickets. That covers a lot more than events, and these are all in use today:

• Conferences and festivals: multi-day events with multiple ticket types, sessions, attendee forms and QR check-in (Pro)
• Seminars, workshops and webinars with online registration and event ticketing
• Concerts and gigs: sell concert tickets with multiple ticket types, PDF tickets and QR check-in (Pro), general admission only
• Theatre tickets (theater) and museum tickets: repeat performances, timed entry for galleries and exhibitions, multiple ticket types and PDF tickets, general admission without seat maps
• Community events calendars where members and guests submit their own events for approval, with BuddyPress and BuddyBoss support
• Church events, nonprofit events and charity fundraisers (non-profit): recurring services, galas and volunteer days with free RSVPs or paid tickets across multiple locations
• School, college and university events: term calendars, bookable parent evening timeslots and paid trips with capacity limits
• Sports events for clubs: fixtures, tournaments and race entries with registration, capacity limits and payment
• Fitness classes, gym bookings, yoga, pilates and dance classes: weekly timetables with limited spaces per session
• Courses, training sessions, lessons and coaching: dated or recurring sessions with attendee limits and payments
• Consultation booking for advisers, consultants and practitioners on a single bookable calendar, with a custom form and optional payment
• Appointment scheduling and online scheduling for solo practitioners, tutors and studios
• Tour booking for guided walks, city tours and timed visits: scheduled departures with a head count and a price per place
• Escape rooms and activity venues: fixed-length sessions with buffers between them and a group size cap
• Restaurant reservations for set sittings, tasting menus and supper clubs: each service is a timeslot with a cover limit, booked by head count rather than per table
• Online reservations for sittings, sessions and classes, each with its own time, capacity and optional payment
• Let visitors book online without creating an account, for any event, ticket or timeslot, and pay on the spot (Pro)
