– Show event name before ticket type title
you sell tickets for multiple events that share ticket-type names (“Adult”, “VIP”, “Child”). At checkout, the cart shows just the ticket-type title — and a buyer with tickets to two different events sees two confusingly identical rows. This add-on prepends the event name so each row is clearly identified.
Without the add-on
Default Tickera cart row:
VIP — $50 × 2 = $100
The buyer has no idea if that VIP is for the Friday concert or the Saturday concert.
With the add-on
Saturday Spring Showcase — VIP — $50 × 2 = $100
Now the row is unambiguous.
Install and activate
- Download: event-name-cart-page.zip
- WordPress admin → Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, install, activate.
- Done — no settings page. The event name appears in the cart immediately.
When you need this
- Festivals or series. Multi-night festivals where each night has the same ticket structure (“3-day pass”, “Single day”).
- Recurring weekly events. A weekly class or show where buyers might bundle multiple sessions in one cart.
- Multi-event venues. Venues selling for multiple unrelated events in parallel, where customers genuinely buy across events in one transaction.
When you don’t need it
If you only sell one event at a time (one main event with multiple ticket types), the event name is implicit and prepending it adds noise to the cart. Stick with default.
Works in standalone and Bridge mode
The add-on hooks the Tickera cart rendering directly, so it works in both modes — Tickera standalone, and Tickera + Bridge for WooCommerce. In Bridge mode, WooCommerce displays the product name (which can include the event); but if you’ve structured your WooCommerce products with shared variation names, this add-on still helps disambiguate.
