Countdown

This is a plugin for pretix.

Shows a live countdown in the ticket shop until ticket sales open:

• Event countdown: a banner on the shop’s front page that counts down to the Start of presale set in the event settings. In an event series, each date counts down to its own presale start.

• Product countdown: products and variations that are not available yet show “Available in 2 days 04:13:22” until their Available from date. pretix only lists such a product before that date if its availability mode is set to show info on why it is unavailable. Otherwise the product stays hidden until then.

The plugin uses the dates you already set in pretix, so there is nothing extra to keep in sync. When a countdown reaches zero, the page reloads so visitors can buy right away. pretix itself still decides whether something can be bought, so the countdown can never open sales early. Without JavaScript, for example in the embedded widget, the opening date and time is shown instead.

Configure it under Settings → Countdown in your event. You can turn both countdowns on or off and change:

• Event heading, default “Ticket sales open in”. {date} is the date ticket sales open.

• Product text, default “Available in {countdown}”. {countdown} is the remaining time and {date} the date the product goes on sale.

• Countdown format, one of:

  Clock	2 days 04:13:22
  Compact	2d 4h 13m 22s
  Written out	2 days, 4 hours, 13 minutes, 22 seconds
  Custom	your own template, see below

• Date format for {date} and for visitors without JavaScript: short, long, or a custom Django date format such as l j F Y, H:i.

A custom countdown format can use these placeholders:

• {days}, {hours}, {minutes}, {seconds}: the numbers.

• {hh}, {mm}, {ss}: hours, minutes and seconds padded to two digits.

• {days_label}, {hours_label}, {minutes_label}, {seconds_label}: “day” or “days” etc., matching the number.

Text in square brackets is left out while all numbers in it are zero, so [{days} {days_label} ]{hh}:{mm}:{ss} shows 2 days 04:13:22 and later 04:13:22. Units you leave out are added to the next smaller unit: {hours}:{mm}:{ss} shows 52:13:22 with two days left.

To install: pip3 install pretix-countdown && python3 -m pretix migrate && python3 -m pretix rebuild && service pretix-web restart

Then just activate it in your event config.
