The front-end date picker
You're here because
you want to know what the buyer sees - how they pick which date they’re attending before they add a ticket to the cart.
On the event page, a recurring event shows a date picker: the buyer selects the occurrence they want, and the ticket they add to the cart is tied to that exact date.
What the buyer does
- Opens the event page and sees the available dates.
- Picks a date. Sold-out dates still appear in the picker – only past dates and dates past their booking cutoff are hidden; the “Sold out” indicator shows on the ticket once a date is selected.
- Adds a ticket (and a seat, if the event is seated). The chosen occurrence travels with the cart item all the way to the order.
Why it matters at the door
Because the occurrence is stored on the ticket, the Check-in app and the rules engine know which night each ticket is for. When the door is set to a specific date, scanning a ticket bought for another date returns a clear wrong event result, so the wrong-night problem solves itself.
