[Events 2.0] Ability to create recurring event for webinars and classes

We run repeating events like a day camp, and also have online registration that has our waivers and registration forms for our children. It would be great to be able to use Events on Constant Contact to display them.

We're updating the status of this idea to more accurately reflect its current status with our engineering team, and also made slight changes to the subject line in order for it to be more easily found. We can't guarantee a commitment to deliver on this feature request, but it should indicate some awareness that we have heard your feedback and could be taken under consideration for a future release.

There should be a way to create tickets for an event with multiple events/sessions over multiple days at different locations and have this information properly denoted in "Summary for order..." in the email confirmation and on the individual tickets as seen when clicking on the "View tickets" link in the "Thank you for registering" email confirmation sent after registering for an event.

Your fixed start time may differ from event times.  

For instance, we register people for all our events from 6 to 6:45 pm but the

event doesn't start until 6:45 pm.  This makes a big difference for people who have to travel across town to our event.

Your system forces the 6:00 time into the defaults.  It would be good if this wasn't forced into things so that 

the attendees could see the two times for the two different periods.

Thank you.

Id love to see better date options for ongoing programs. for example, I have an event that is twice a week for two weeks, I'd like to be able to schedule all 4 of those dates within the one calendar event.

We use Events 2.0 for workshops.  Sometimes, someone who signed up has a schedule conflict come up and needs to reschedule to a different one OR, rarely, we have to cancel one and move everyone to other dates.  There is no ability to move registrants between events so you have to manually cancel and re-enter the registration.  That causes issues on MANY levels!  1) All of the original information (registration date, payment method, etc.) is completely lost.  2) It's all done manually so the potential for human error while re-entering the registration is huge.  3) We only accept credit cards for events but you can't manually enter a registration without charging them again so you have to change your accepted payments to something like "at the door" so you can manually enter the registration - and hope no one registers while that is up and sees that as an option OR you have to turn off registrations while you do it and potentially lose revenue.  And don't forget to change it back!  4) Then you have to go through and mark all the manual registrations as paid - but again you have lost all of the payment information and tracking ability from the original registration.  5) It shows these "moved" registrations as a brand new sign up and notifies the event coordination team -- which gets them excited (for nothing) and triggers their work for a "new registration" which is moot, confusing, and requires additional work on their side to override their registration cycle.  So not only is all of this extremely time-consuming, error-prone, and a break in tracking/traceability... but the event fee is extremely high on top of our already-high monthly fee.
