ABP Event Ticket turns WooCommerce into a complete event ticketing and registration system. Create events, configure ticket types and prices, publish event details, collect attendee information, and sell tickets through the standard WooCommerce checkout. It is the simplest way to sell event tickets, concert tickets, conference tickets, festival tickets, and workshop registration online.

The plugin supports both general admission and reserved seating. Administrators can build reusable seat plans with drag-and-drop controls, automatic numbering, custom labels, ticket-type assignment, and flexible layouts. Seat availability is updated in real time as tickets are booked, so you never oversell an event.

Create reusable global configuration for ticket types, seat plans, dates, locations, categories, organizers, brands, features, additional services, attendee forms, FAQs, Terms & Conditions, and event timelines. Global configuration can be imported into an individual event and customized when needed. Customers can book from any page with a lightweight shortcode, and a Bookings tab appears automatically in their WooCommerce account.

Seat plans support:

Drag-and-drop positioning
Automatic seat numbering
Custom seat names and prefixes
Custom cells and text
Flexible rows and columns
Adjustable cell size and gaps
Ticket-type assignment
Multiple layout configurations

Clone, edit, view, and delete actions

Event Scheduling

Specific event dates
Periodic dates
Date-wise times
Day-wise times
Advance booking date limits
Sale closing buffer time
Availability and quantity controls

Google Location Map

Show a Google Map for the locations assigned to an event. With a Google Maps JavaScript API key the interactive map is rendered via the JavaScript API and Places library. When no API key is saved, the map is rendered as an embedded iframe (no API key required), so the location still displays as long as the global Google Location Map switch is on.

Setup:

Enable Google Location Map under the plugin’s global ON/OFF settings.
Paste your Google Maps JavaScript API key into the Google Maps API Key field.
Open a Location in the global data, search for the address or place, and select it on the map to save its latitude, longitude, address, and place data.
Assign that location to an event.

When the global switch is on, the event has a location, and that location has saved map data, the map is displayed on the event details page. With an API key saved, the interactive JavaScript map renders; without a key, an embedded iframe map renders instead. If the switch is off or no map data exists for the location, no map is rendered.

The map appears in the event details templates and includes:

Search-and-select map picker in the Location admin screen
Draggable marker to fine-tune the saved coordinates
Per-location map data (latitude, longitude, address, and place ID)
Three frontend map styles: default, light, and modern
Clickable marker with location name and address info window
“Get Directions” links to Google Maps

Event Timeline

Display a visual event timeline on the event details page showing the schedule of activities in chronological order. Each timeline entry consists of a time, a title, and a rich-text description.

Setup:

Enable Event Timeline under the plugin’s global ON/OFF settings.
Open an event and go to the Timeline tab.
Turn on the “Active Timeline” switch for that event.
Click “Add New Timeline Item” and fill in the time, title, and description for each schedule entry.
Save the event.

The timeline appears on the event details page when the event has at least one timeline entry with a title. It supports three display styles that match the event details template:

Default – Vertical line with dot markers and a bordered card layout
Light – Vertical line with circle markers and shadowed card layout
Modern – Header banner with badge markers and dashed card layout within a rounded container

The timeline section is gated by the global Event Timeline switch. When the switch is OFF, no timeline is displayed anywhere on the site even if events have timeline entries saved. The per-event “Active Timeline” switch controls whether the timeline is shown for that specific event.

Attendee Information and Services

Collect the information required for registration through configurable attendee forms. Add optional services, such as meals, merchandise, or other event extras, with separate prices.

Global attendee forms and additional services can be imported into an event and customized for that event.

WooCommerce Integration

WooCommerce is required for ticket cart and checkout functionality. Customers can select an event, ticket type, date, seats (when enabled), attendee details, and optional services before completing payment through any payment gateway supported by WooCommerce.

WooCommerce manages the cart, checkout, payment, tax, coupon, customer account, and order workflow.

Shortcodes

Add these shortcodes to any WordPress page:

[abpet-booking]

Displays the event listing and booking interface, including search, filters, ticket selection, attendee forms, and checkout flow.

[abpet-post]

Displays an event listing without the booking wrapper.

[abpet-gallery]

Displays event images in a gallery or slider.

Common attributes include:

post_id – Display a specific event.
cat_id – Filter by category.
loc_id – Filter by location.
organizer_id – Filter by organizer.
brand_id – Filter by brand.
style – Listing style: grid, list, missionary, or minimal.
slider_style – Gallery style: gallery or slider.
pagination – Enable or disable pagination.
pagination-style – Pagination mode: live or number.
column – Number of listing columns.
sort – Event order: ASC or DESC.

Example:

[abpet-booking style="grid" column="3" pagination="yes"]

Minimal event list example:

[abpet-post style="minimal" show="8" pagination-style="number"]<h3>My Account Bookings</h3>

When used with WooCommerce, a “Bookings” tab is added automatically to the WooCommerce My Account area. Logged-in customers can view their event bookings, event dates, ticket details, additional services, attendee information, and order totals in one place, with pagination for large histories.

Requirements

WordPress 6.2 or later
PHP 7.4 or later
MySQL 5.7 or later
WooCommerce 8.0 or later

Gutenberg and Multilingual Support

The event post type and all event taxonomies are registered with REST API support, so events and taxonomies can be edited with the Gutenberg block editor. The plugin’s event listing and booking shortcodes can also be inserted into Gutenberg Shortcode blocks.

The plugin is translation-ready and supports Polylang’s frontend language filtering for event listings. Create a translated event and translated taxonomy terms in Polylang for each language you publish. WooCommerce handles translated checkout and customer account pages according to the multilingual plugin configuration.

Plugin-specific global configuration labels, ticket names, and option values are stored as reusable settings and are not automatically duplicated or translated by Polylang. Translate those values through your multilingual workflow or use event-specific values when each language needs different content.
