Cost information issue

Good evening tydirium,

Thank you for the great words! We really appreciate it.

To answer your question, this is actually not a bug. The Event Tickets add-on does not contain any price field. In order to get such a field, you would have to use a different premium add-on.

That being said, you can probably hide the “Free” mention using CSS or by taking a look at our Themer’s guide.

Have a great day!

Hi. This information may help: if you use The Events Calendar plugin and want to sell tickets (not just free RSVP tickets), we offer a paid add-on: Event Tickets Plus

Is it possible to use the Event Tickets Plus plugin and *NOT* use it with WooCommerce? My client wants to show the price of each event, but only wants her customers to reserve a spot for the event, not pay for them online. Payment would be made at the door of the event.

I find it hard to believe that cost was a field in an earlier version of the free plugin, but was subsequently removed. What purpose could there be for that other than to nudge people into the paid plugins.

I have clients who use the Plus version of the plugin to sell online, but this particular client would prefer that people pay in person when they arrive. Surely she shouldn’t have to purchase the Plus version and install WooCommerce just to achieve this.

Does anyone know why it might display the price with the word “Free – ” before it?

Thanks!

Thanks @geoffbel, but this solution does not work — When I implement your code above it completely removes the price from the front and backend.

I ended up finding the solution in your forums… The below code returns the price field in the backend and removes “FREE -” from the cost in the frontend.

function use_cost_field( $cost, $post_id ) {
 
    $currency = tribe_get_event_meta( $post_id, '_EventCurrencySymbol', true );
    $new_cost = get_post_meta( $post_id, '_EventCost', true );
 
    if ( $new_cost > 0 ) {
        $new_cost = $currency . ' ' . $new_cost;
    } else {
        $new_cost = $cost;
    }
 
    return esc_html( $new_cost );
}
 
add_filter( 'tribe_get_cost', 'use_cost_field', 100, 2 );
add_filter( 'tribe_events_admin_show_cost_field', '__return_true', 100 );

Cheers!
