Biggest opportunity: Swap “pos” for “pdf tickets”. “pos” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “pdf tickets” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →0.8%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 129.7K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Booking & Events plugin keeps 0.8%, across 947 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Booking & Events plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 57 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

This is an excellent and thought-through plugin that gives you all tools necessary to successfully sell tickets. I don’t know any plugin that can come close in terms of functionality
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Anonymous9mo ago
Threw error right after installing, that prevented me from accessing admin panel. Had to remove it manually, to get site back to working order. (System conforms with published requirements.)Also unnecessary bloated. Bigger that Woocommerce, although doing way less.

The support guys were quick and helpful. Strongly recommend the plugin.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ DevDevington1.4y ago
Documentation extremely unclear on how to even get it to run properly. All I see is the Add to Cart option, this plugin doesn’t automatically add the other required fields on the product page.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ copy77cat1.9y ago
It seems like a great plugin and extremely easy to use. I’ve checked out several other options, but this one was the most straight – forward. I also received pre-sell support, very fast and accurate, exchanged some emails to clarify the possibilities and limitations. The only one is that it doesn’t wok offline and I will love it if this can be upgraded in the future.Great job!

We’ve had the pleasure of using this plugin, and I must say, I’m impressed by the amount of work put into it. The plugin is not only highly flexible but also thoughtfully designed, making the ticketing process seamless from start to finish. The scanner feature works efficiently, ensuring a smooth check-in experience. It’s evident that a lot of care and attention to detail went into creating this tool. I truly hope the author continues to support and update this plugin, because despite some bugs and quirks that require workarounds, it remains indispensable for event management.

Has everything that you need for big events. Instant buy.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ dratom2.6y ago
Smooth installation, incredible features, just open wp-admin on phone to get the link and use the link to scan ticket to redeem (on need to login).After a whole day fighting with other WooCommerce extensions, this plugin was a ray of sunshine 🙂 The only caveat I found is that if you forget to activate “generating ticket” and somebody buys the ticket, you can’t re-generate the ticket (I didn’t found a way) This topic was modified 1 year, 4 months ago by dratom.
