Ticket releases in the calender #537

Open anahitachavan opened 1 week ago

anahitachavan commented 1 week ago

We have a lot of events that require tickets, mostly sittningar but even things such as lunch lectures. If an event is popular and has a limited amount of spots, and you want to go to that event, you will want to buy a ticket as soon as it's released. Right now you can usually find the ticket release time in the description of the event, but it doesn't exactly stand out. People need to keep track of the ticket release times for themselves, which makes them easy to forget. Release times also get moved around to earlier or later, and this is easy to miss when you've already written down the original release time.

Proposed feature: when creating an event on the website there is an option to select if the event requires a ticket. If selected, you get two new fields to fill out, which are the time and the link for the ticket release. These would then appear both in the description of the event under the main description, and in a separate but linked 15 minute calendar event that starts when the ticket release begins. Changing the release time should be easy and automatically update the calendar event.

Thanks for submitting an idea! However, for us to work on this we're going to need more information. Please update your issue with a more detailed description, as if you were explaining it to someone completely new to the guild. i.e with some short background on tickets and why this is needed, what the feature is, how it would work, etc.

EDIT: Thanks!
