The Events Calendar (Event Tickets)

Hydra Bridge

Hydra Bridge integrates with The Events Calendar when ticketing is handled through the Event Tickets plugin.

This setup is common for events that rely on a more flexible event structure while still needing reliable attendee management and check-in.

Hydra works directly with Event Tickets data and brings it into a consistent check-in flow, without requiring changes to how events or tickets are created.

All core attendee data is available, including ticket ownership, attendee details, and event associations. Search, manual check-in, and offline sync are fully supported.

Barcode scanning is available when compatible ticket types are used (for example, when additional ticketing extensions are active).

Check-in limits

By default, Event Tickets allows a single check-in per ticket.

Hydra Bridge extends this behavior by introducing a configurable setting in the plugin admin.

You can define how many check-ins are allowed per ticket:

  • 1 → default behavior (single check-in)
  • any number above 1 → multiple check-ins allowed
  • 0 → unlimited check-ins

This setting applies globally to Event Tickets integration and gives you more flexibility for scenarios like multi-day access, re-entry, or internal workflows.

What to expect

Hydra respects the structure provided by Event Tickets and adapts it to a faster, more controlled check-in experience.

The integration supports:

  • Multiple events
  • Attendee search
  • Manual check-in
  • Offline operation with sync

Undo check-in is currently not supported in this integration.
