Sell Event Tickets Inside Your WooCommerce Store

For event organizers selling tickets on WooCommerce: dated events, tiered pricing, hard capacity caps, and native checkout, all from one plugin.

Try the live ARB demo to build a test event with your own ticket tiers before you buy.

Turn any product into a dated, capacity-capped ticket

ARB turns any WooCommerce product into a dated event ticket, so the whole sale stays inside your store.

• Sell dated tickets natively. Every event books through your own WooCommerce cart and gateways.
• Price every tier. General, VIP, early-bird, and child tickets each carry their own price.
• Never oversell. A hard capacity cap and live seats-left counter stop sales at the limit.
• Pay once. One-time $55 license ($249 for client work), with no per-ticket commission.

Everything a ticketed event needs, set per event

Fixed-date events with locked availability

Turn a product into a Reservable Product pinned to one event date and time slot.

• Pin each event to one date and time
• Lock out every other date automatically
• Set the booking horizon per availability range

Ticket tiers with their own prices

Person Types map each ticket tier to its own price, minimum, and maximum.

• Price General, VIP, early-bird, and child tiers
• Set independent min and max per tier
• Count each ticket sold as one seat

Hard capacity and a live seats-left counter

Max Reservations per Slot caps each event, and buyers see remaining seats live.

• Cap total tickets per event
• Show a live remaining-seats counter
• Deduct multi-ticket orders from the same cap

Flexible pricing through native checkout

Range rules add early-bird, weekend, and group pricing, all through WooCommerce checkout.

• Add early-bird, weekend, or group pricing
• Charge through every WooCommerce payment gateway
• Apply your normal taxes and coupons

Set up event ticket booking in four steps

You turn a normal product into a bookable event from the WooCommerce admin.

1. Install ARB and enter your 9-digit activation token.
2. Set the product type to Reservable Product with a fixed date.
3. Add ticket tiers as Person Types, then cap total capacity.
4. Publish, then manage ticket sales as WooCommerce orders.

ARB vs plain WooCommerce vs a dedicated ticketing plugin

Here is the honest contrast for selling event tickets on WooCommerce.

For scannable QR tickets or assigned seats, pair ARB with a dedicated tool like FooEvents or Tickera.

Is ARB the right fit?

ARB suits some ticketed events better than others, so here is the honest split.

Great fit if the following sounds like you.

• You want one-time, WooCommerce-native event and ticket booking with no subscription.
• You need dated events, per-tier pricing, and a hard capacity cap.
• You already run class, course, or tour and activity bookings on the same plugin.

Look elsewhere if you need any of these.

• You need scannable QR-code or barcode tickets and door check-in, which ARB does not do.
• You need assigned-seat maps or native two-way calendar sync (Google sync is a one-way $19 add-on).
• You want native SMS ticket alerts without the separate $15 add-on, covered in booking-plugin comparisons.

FAQs

Can WooCommerce Sell Event Tickets by Itself?

No. A plain WooCommerce product carries no event date, capacity, or tier logic. Ticket selling needs a booking or ticketing plugin, such as ARB, added on top.

Is There a Free WordPress Event Ticketing Plugin?

Yes, Event Tickets is free and does not require WooCommerce. It handles a single free or paid ticket type well, but it lacks ARB's tiered pricing, per-tier capacity, and WooCommerce-native checkout.

Does ARB Generate QR-Code Tickets or Scan Attendees at the Door?

No. Pair ARB with FooEvents, Tickera, or WooCommerce's own QR Code Tickets & Check-in add-on for door scanning.

Can I Set Different Ticket Prices for VIP, Early-Bird, and Child Tickets?

Yes. Person Types give each tier its own price, and Costs-tab range rules add date-based early-bird pricing on top.

Can I Limit How Many Tickets an Event Sells?

Yes. Max Reservations per Slot sets the hard cap, and the left-slots counter shows buyers exactly how many tickets remain.

Do I Pay Commission on Each Ticket Sold Through ARB?

No. Tickets sell through your own WooCommerce store and payment gateway, so no third-party ticketing platform takes a cut.

Can I Sell Parking, Merch, or Meal Add-Ons Alongside a Ticket?

Yes. Model each add-on as an extra Person Type or as a Resource, depending on whether it needs its own availability.

Can ARB Handle Both Event Tickets and Appointment or Rental Bookings?

Yes. ARB is one plugin, and every Reservable Product, whether an event, an appointment, or a rental, runs from the same Reservations admin screen.

What Payment Methods Can I Accept for Event Tickets?

Every WooCommerce-supported gateway applies, including PayPal, Stripe, Square, Amazon Pay, PayFast, and eWay, plus bank transfer and cash on delivery.

Does ARB Support Reserved Seating or a Seat Map?

No. Choose a dedicated ticketing plugin, such as Tickera, if attendees need to pick a specific seat.
