Using Eventbrite for events with seating sub-sections and multiple ticket types

Let’s say you want to setup an Eventbrite event with multiple seating sections and multiple ticket types in each section. For example:

  • General Admission
  • General Admission Group Discount
  • Reserved Seating
  • Reserved Seating Group Discount

In this example, you don’t want a combination of General Admission and General Admission Group Discount tickets sold to exceed 2000, and you don’t want the reserved seating section to exceed 150 tickets sold. Watch the screencast to see how you can handle this type of situation.

HowTo: Clean up text in WordPress posts

If you find you have a WordPress post that has text that doesn’t match the styling on the rest of your site, more than likely that post has gotten inserted with some extra CSS styling. This usually happens when you copy and paste from a word processor without using the “Paste from Word” button in the WordPress Visual editor toolbar.

My best method for cleaning up this problem involves cutting the text from the post via the Visual editor, pasting it into Notepad and then re-pasting the text back into your post via the HTML editor. To see how this is done, watch this screencast.
