doubledee Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 This is more of a design question, I suppose. I am trying to build a generic "Events Registration" module for some potential upcoming clients. The system should allow a CUSTOMER (payor) to register him/herself - and possible other people - for an upcoming EVENT (e.g. Mannheim Steamroller Christmas Spectacular). A few people I've talked to think you should minimize the info you ask during checkout. Originally I wanted *every* attendees to have to "register" and create an online account. But based on surveying people, the consesnsus is that nobody would ever register if I demand that much info!! So I have backed down and was just going to require the CUSTOMER (payor) to create a simple account requiring: - email - password - name But upon further thought, it seems to me that I need to capture at least the Names of the ATTENDEES for check-in purposes and general identification. I do not believe the Events Manager would care if people swap tickets and "Amy" goes for "Bob" who was out sick. But I do think the Events Manager needs some organized way for the person doing Event-day registration to know that Mr. Jones paid for: - Suzy - Sally - Samantha - Steve - Sara - Seth - Sandy - Stephan If I have... CUSTOMER -||-------<-TICKETS->|---------||-EVENT ...then maybe I lose control of the people attending?! Maybe this is better... CUSTOMER -||-------<-ATTENDEES->|---------||-EVENT What do you think?
