Title: Ticket Spot – Event Tickets, RSVPs & Calendar Author: ticketspot Published: April 28, 2022 Last modified: September 5, 2026 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/ticket-spot/assets/banner-772x250.png?rev=2715657) ![](https://ps.w.org/ticket-spot/assets/icon.svg?rev=2715668) # Ticket Spot – Event Tickets, RSVPs & Calendar By [ticketspot](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ticketspot/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/ticket-spot.1.0.4.zip) * [Details](https://sa.wordpress.org/plugins/ticket-spot/#description) * [Reviews](https://sa.wordpress.org/plugins/ticket-spot/#reviews) * [Installation](https://sa.wordpress.org/plugins/ticket-spot/#installation) * [Development](https://sa.wordpress.org/plugins/ticket-spot/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ticket-spot/) ## Description **Add event ticketing to WordPress with one shortcode — and keep checkout on your own site.** Ticket Spot connects your WordPress site to your Ticket Spot account. Build a widget in the dashboard, paste one shortcode into any page or post, and visitors browse events, choose tickets and pay without ever leaving your domain. #### How it works 1. Install and activate this plugin (it is free, and it stays free). 2. Go to **Settings Ticket Spot** and sign in. 3. In your Ticket Spot dashboard, build a widget — a calendar layout or a list of events — and copy its widget ID. 4. Paste `[ticket_spot widget_id="your-widget-id"]` into any page, post or block. That is the whole setup. `widget_id` is the only attribute the shortcode takes: what the widget shows and how it looks are properties of the widget, set once in the dashboard, so you never edit the shortcode again to change the design. #### Your events stay in your Ticket Spot account Nothing about your events is stored in WordPress. A theme update or a plugin conflict cannot corrupt an order or interrupt a sale that is mid-checkout. #### What you get on every plan, including Free * **Embedded checkout on your own page** — no redirect to a third-party checkout domain * **Free tickets and RSVPs** from the moment you sign up * **Event categories**, so one widget can show a subset of your events * **Ticket pricing and capacity** controls * **Import your existing events** from Eventbrite, Ticket Tailor or TicketSpice * **Invite team members** to help manage events #### What you get on paid plans * **Paid tickets** and pay-what-you-want tickets, with your own payment processor connected so funds reach your account directly (Professional and above) * **PDF tickets with QR codes**, plus Apple Wallet and Google Wallet passes (Professional) * **Mobile scan app** for iOS and Android to check attendees in at the door (Professional) * **Fonts and colour customization** so the widget sits inside your theme (Professional) * **Registration questions** at checkout — dietary needs, T-shirt sizes, anything( Professional) * **Confirmation and reminder emails**, sent automatically (Professional) * **SMS confirmations, reminders and announcements** to attendees * **Promo codes**, percentage or fixed amount (Professional) * **Attendee CSV export** (Professional) * **Timed entry tickets and arrival windows** (Professional) * **Zoom, Google Calendar and Twitch** integrations (Professional) * **Waitlists**, **group tickets** and **digital waivers** (Business) * **Interactive seating charts** with rows, tables and sections (Business) * **Custom branding** — your logo and colours on tickets, emails and pages (Business) * **Sales, check-in and page-view analytics** (Business) * **Self check-in kiosk mode** and **on-site POS ticket sales** (Business) * **Zapier** (Business), **Mailchimp** (Business+) * **Full white-label mode** and **custom domains** (Business+) #### Pricing Ticket Spot charges **0% platform fees** — your payment processor charges its standard transaction fees and nothing is added on top. The Free plan covers up to 20 attendees a month. Paid plans start at $29.99/month.

In your WordPress admin, go to **Plugins Add New** and search for _Ticket Spot_. Click **Install Now**, then **Activate**. (Or upload the plugin folder to `/wp- content/plugins/` and activate it from the Plugins screen.) 2. Go to **Settings Ticket Spot** and sign in to your Ticket Spot account. If you do not have one, create it free at https://ticketspotapp.com — no card required. 3. In the Ticket Spot dashboard, create your event, then build a **widget**. Choose its layout — a calendar of upcoming events, or a list — and copy the **widget ID**. 4. Edit the page or post where tickets should appear and paste: 5. [ticket_spot widget_id=”your-widget-id”] Note the **underscore** in `ticket_spot`. Without it WordPress will not recognise the shortcode and will print it on the page as text. 1. Preview the page. The widget renders in place and checkout completes without leaving your site. To show something different on another page, build a second widget and place its shortcode there. ## FAQ ### What is the shortcode? [ticket_spot widget_id=”your-widget-id”] — note the underscore. `widget_id` is the only attribute it accepts. What the widget displays and how it looks are set on the widget itself in the Ticket Spot dashboard, so the shortcode never needs editing again. ### Do visitors leave my site to buy a ticket? No. Browsing, ticket selection and payment all happen inside the widget on your own WordPress page. The embedded checkout widget is available on every plan, including Free. ### Is the plugin free? Yes, and it stays free. The Free Ticket Spot plan covers free tickets and RSVPs for up to 20 attendees a month. Selling paid tickets starts on the Professional plan. ### Are there per-ticket fees? Ticket Spot charges 0% platform fees. Your payment processor charges its own standard transaction fees, and nothing is added on top of them. ### Can I show an event calendar? Yes. Choose the calendar layout when you build the widget, then place that widget’s shortcode on any page. A responsive list of events is the other layout. ### Will it match my theme? You set the widget’s fonts and colours in the Ticket Spot dashboard so it sits inside your theme, and it adapts to the width it is given on desktop, tablet and mobile. Font and colour customization starts on the Professional plan. ### Where is my event data stored? In your Ticket Spot account, not in WordPress. A theme update or a plugin conflict cannot corrupt an order or interrupt a sale in progress. ### Is there a step-by-step setup guide? Yes: https://ticketspotapp.com/blog/features/wordpress-event-ticketing-shortcode ### I have a feature idea. What’s the best way to tell you about it? We would love to add new features to the app to improve your website/business. Email us at support@ticketspotapp.com. ### I’ve still got questions. Where can I find answers? support@ticketspotapp.com or use our live chat after creating a Ticket Spot account. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/93c43fa1f0934884a40966cda07b2026bba0f73654560dab47e8d303a6ee6a84? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[not responsive](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-responsive-225/)󠁿 [kevinb85](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kevinb85/) October 30, 2024 Layout / UI is not optimized(customer have to manually scroll up after some step to pay the ticket) . Half of my customers complained they can't buy tickets. Unfortunately, I need to find another ticket selling option. Integraton with facebook to share event is not even working. Some translation string are missing. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ffafd9c214362097999344894162c8c99ba49a95911fbfe74def30ae75d174cd? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Ticket Spot ( An amazing plugin for events)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ticket-spot-an-amazing-plugin-for-events/)󠁿 [nishat1098](https://profiles.wordpress.org/nishat1098/) April 28, 2022 Well, I don't know how can I express my feelings for this plugin. on the other hand, their installation process is also good for anyone who even doesn't know anything about plugin installation. They are providing instruction video about how to install add events. To add a new event you can easily set the event name, and images, the most interesting part is for google Maps you don't have to add any API just simply you can add your address and it will show in live. Also, you can add your payment method in just one click. This plugin will be for 100 rating but now I'm leaving only five. 100% recommended plugin events and also you can use it on your travel agency packages because it's also flexible for it.
