What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. acquisition value

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

    Log an issue, get a support ticket number but then nothing. There seems to be no way to see any tickets that you have raised

    Imagine it stops working, you paid for year of support, right? Yep, nope , no support at all. Automated system creates support ticket, auto email to you and that’s it. No live person, no following up with email, nothing. In the meantime nobody can buy your tickets. I advise to look for some other plugin or a ticketing portal that you can embed into your wordpress, or if its simple use WPforms, you can create simple ticketing via them. We used them last year and it worked perfectly, not as slick as this plugin but again if this breaks….well you out of luck

    Auf Grund meiner sehr großen Sitzplatz-Veranstaltungen (ca. 1.300 Sitzplätze) wurden ein paar Bugs im Seating gefunden, die sehr zügig behoben wurden. PERFEKT!!!

    Otherwise simple and useful but does not work. Option to remove data when uninstalling does not remove data. Therefore(?) reinstalling brakes something in the database. Links to docs appear but they are dead. This was my afternoon experience.

    I had a minor issue with the plugin which was resolved very quickly by the support. Good job guys! Great plugin.

    When Event tickets is activated, the Kadence design library doesn’t work – scrolling through available themes in the Starter Packs in the Design Library is blocked. Having to deactivate and then reactivate a plugin each time you want to make edits to a page or add sections from the Starter Pack isn’t ideal. This topic was modified 4 months, 2 weeks ago by HelenaDenley.

    Hands down the best plugin for handling events and tickets and beyond that, AMAZING customer support. Huge thanks to Masood for all the time and effort you invested in helping me troubleshoot and get to the bottom of my issue! 🙂

    Great support, really appreciate the quick responses from support – they always know how to help. We are testing out the Seating add-on on one site of a multisite and I was having issues getting started – support was able to tell me what was needed to get it working. The add-on is intuitive and easy to use, will work well for our application. Much appreciated, always happy with Events/Tickets plugins and support.
