How to create different ticket types in FooEvents using WooCommerce variations and attributes
One of the many strengths of FooEvents is that it leverages powerful functionality that is built into the WooCommerce core. A good example of this is the way FooEvents uses WooCommerce Variable products to create different ticket types.
For example, you may need to sell different types of tickets at various prices based on the area of the event that the attendee should have access to. Using WooCommerce Variable products, you can create different variations of the ‘event product’ which also act as different ticket types. In the following demo example we have created three ticket types; Seated, Standing and Golden Circle. Each ticket type is sold at a different price and the variation details will be automatically displayed on the attendees ticket as seen in the screenshot below.
