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 );
