Event Tickets by Magenest is the ultimate extension for e-commerce websites that allows store admins to manage events and tickets. Store admin can also create custom ticket such as VIP, regular, adults only,… each with custom template to best fit the event's context. The extension can also send reminder so that your customer won't miss out the event.

The extension is packed with the following features:

• Admin can create and edit the properties of events such as location, start time, end time, reminder,…
• Admin can add a new ticket type such as VIP, regular, adult only,… each with its own template and quantity.
• The module will automatically send a PDF-formatted ticket as an attachment via email after the customer is done purchasing the ticket.
• The module will send an email to remind customers of the upcoming event.
• Admin can have his own design for a template.
• Admin can toggle redemption status for each sent tickets.
• Users can also view and print tickets from their My account page
• The extension allows to display available event addresses in a nice map like Google Map

Your store should be running on Magento Community Edition version 1.8.x or 1.9.x.

• If compilation mode in your Magento is enabled in your Magento store, you have to turn it off, otherwise your store and admin site would be inaccessible after installing the extension.
• To disable Magento Compilation, go to System–>Tools–>Compilation.

• Make sure you have backed up your Magento files and databases in case things go wrong.

• You have to turn on your configuration cache to prevent early installation, as it could be a reason of errors.
• Go to System→Cache Management.

• After purchasing and download the module's zip file, unzip it into a directory of your choice.
• We recommend using FileZilla to perform the installation via FTP. Enter your store's Host IP, Username and Password, then hit Quickconnect

• Carefully upload the files of the module to the corresponding directory

• You should refresh Magento's cache to provide Magento with the ability to register a new extension.
• To prevent an “Access Denied” error, you have to re-enter to the backend. Log in with a full administrator account to get the new permissions.
• Now you should check whether your website and your new module works as expected.

• To create an event, first create a product. After that, navigate to Catalog → Manage Products.
• Then add switch to Event Booking Tab
  

• You can see a handful of options here, but first, select Enable Ticket as Yes

Then you can specify the following options:

• Start time and End time: starting and ending time for your event
• Reminder before days: the exact time for the module to send a reminder email to customer
• Generate PDF Ticket: Select Yes if you want your ticket to be a PDF document
• Event Location: Location for the event

Next up, specify some ticket types for the event, in the following demo, we specified a Child, Adult and Student ticket type

• Title: tick type's name
• Qty: the initial quantity for each ticket type
• Code Prefix: each ticket type comes with a specific code set, this is the code set's prefix
• Confirmation email: template for the ticket type
• Click on Add if you want to add a new type.

Hit Save when done, you can check to see if the event has been created by navigating to Catalog → Event Ticket → Manage Event Products

This is basically the Summary for ticket types, with Purchased quantity, Available quantity and revenue for each type, as shown.

• In the Attendees tab, the admin can easily manage the attendees of the event. As we can see, this customer bought 3 tickets of type Magento, all have been invoiced and one redeemed.
