We took our time and listened to your requests as to what an integrated event manager should do. We learned a lot from our RSEvents! experience and we decided that we can do better.
RSEvents!Pro was built to be as easy and intuitive as possible, yet having all the features that you may need when managing events on your Joomla! 3.0, 2.5, or 1.5 website. The endless features and integrations list is the confirmation that you needed in order to decide in favor of our extension.
RSEvents!Pro is Joomla! 3.0, 2.5 and 1.5 native.
Very polished and flexible component, can make a killer solution together with RSforms. Tried other solutions for registration but this is by far the best one.
And the support ? Great.

I tried multiple components before realizing that RSJoomla had a event ticketing/registration component. My mistake! Easy to configure and it works!
Set up downloadable tickets with barcodes, discount coupons, multiple ticket prices and with the integration with RS Forms I am able to capture additional information during registration - Easy modification of the language files allowed me to change button labels to meet my needs
- Yippee! Thanks RSEvents Pro -

This is not my first run with RSEvents. This time I'm employing RSEvents Pro for a busy Joomla 2.5 website with lots going on, and I'm very pleased.
There has been a considerable amount of work put into this extension, and it shows. I've given it top marks because I honest believe the developers have earned it.
What I did right this time was - read the documentation. The system works, when it doesn't, read the documentation a second time.

I have used the other event registration components and they are always difficult to configure. I had the specific requirement to have a ticket with a barcode attached to be emailed with the event registration confirmation. RSEVents and RSForms work together to achieve this. Be aware that this is quite complex to get working how you want it, and there are a few limitations at this stage which I am sure will improve but the most important thing is that it does the job, better than the other components, and the support is good and there is quite good documentation and information on the forum.
this was the last of my tests, end it ended last! not strange! no answer on presales question.. and also no answer and unassigned tickets after purchase. waste of money. lucky me the client paid it and my time too

This is a fake review as all the others in this category noted. All bad reviews in one day, only one positive.. Plus, we don't have this customer registered, and he complains about support, but we cannot find him anywhere.
I've been using RSEvents!Pro for the first time for a client website that organizes all kinds of activities.
Had some problems with it at first, mostly due to lack of documentation or hard to find documentation. The support forum is not a place to find answers. It's community driven, but there's no active users.
Opened quite a lot of support tickets. But got great support from them! Even helped me out with some modifications!! Very much thanks to the developers / support staff!
My client is using this component and are very happy with it. It looks clean and is easy to use. Has a lot of features and views can be customized to your needs!
Looking forward to future updates with even more awesome features!!
I can recommend this to anyone that needs a activities / events website. From basic to full featured!
Used RSForms!Pro in conjunction with RSevents!Pro to make very elaborate subscription forms. Will never ever use any other Forms component!!!

After spending weeks on a highly rated event component which never worked as intended, RSEventsPro was happily purchased and installed: it's equivalent of a day of sunshine after weeks of rain and drama. Works out of the box, streamlined, beautifully configured, looks smooth and lovely and is a delight to use!
My big thanks to the developer!

After installing the component, everything seems straight forward, but all of the functionality is not there. The event registration form locks, and one cannot register mulitiple people. No real form seems to be present to register other than name and email address. The documentation is basic at best. I have yet to hear back from support, and my support tickets still show as unassigned. Even though I purchased this product, I will have to move to another product because of the need to get an event extension running.
I bought this product along with RSForms Pro! for end -to-end Event Management functionality with custom registration forms.
I am extremely impressed with the product and support. RS Event Pro! has almost everything which is required for a event management module.
I faced issues while using Calendar component and raised ticket for the issue. Support team was very quick to respond and they figured out the issue and fixed it as well.Extremely competent and responsive team.

I am working on a community events calendar site project which requires several features including 1)the ability for the public to register and submit events (and edit only their own events), 2)event export for use in other publications and 3)ability to handle complex recurring events. I "interviewed" several of the popular event calendar components (JEvents, JCalPro and Ohanah) and RSEventsPro was the only component that had all of those features(and more) and was easily customizable with CSS and template overrides.
The customer service is awesome(courteous, prompt, honest)! I had several items that needed to be addressed as I configured the component. Every support ticket was responded to within 24 hours (or earlier), and all of my issues were resolved.
Easy to install the component and modules. Easy to configure.

We publish a magazine in a tourist destination that offers a lot of information about what's going on, so we needed an events extension that could offer us event lists, a calendar, a map with location markers, etc... We also needed to be able to change the layout/appearance easily since most of us are designers instead of coders, so the support was as important as the extension itself. After installation we had a few issues with layout and settings in some of the modules and the component itself. The support works great since you open a ticket and the ticket gets assigned to a staff member who answers just after a few hours and keeps replying and helping you until you are satisfied with the result. We were able to close all our tickets in just a few days. Great extension and great support.
As a relative newbie I was nervous moving away from our old Events component to RSEvents!Pro. I have to say I got the base functionality up and running very quickly and the accompanying PlugIns complement that nicely.
My own challenge was in adjusting the CSS templates so that it matches my underlying site template. I made three support requests and all were dealt with quickly and efficiently. Our site went live earlier this week and the users all admire the new Event and Calendar capabilities. I think the component has pleanty of headroom and more advanced features that we can also start using in the future. No regrets :)

I rarely leave feedback but I had to make an exception for this fantastic product and after care.
As a 'newbie' it is always daunting when I make a purchase with no experience or knowledge of website building. I need not have worried, from the minute I contacted Andrei with my concerns about configuration he spent the next few days, via the admin panel, going on my site and configuring my component, module and all relevant plug ins to the exact way I wanted it without any complaints and the patience of a saint!
I found the team swift, diligent and professional. Without their outstanding support a 'newbie' like me, could never have achieved the final, beyond brilliant outcome, in a matter of hours.
As a 'newbie' it is important to have this unexpected but incredible level of support, well worth the money and highly recommended.
A big 'Thank You' to Andrei and the team, I wish you all the success your excellent products & customer services deserve.

I have never written a review on any software before but this particular program has cost me money and wasted a huge amount of my time.
All I required was a working events component that users could subscribe to and make payment whilst registering. Every step of the way however there have been problems and now I have just given up.
This component does not work. Plain and simple. It is full of bugs that the support do not seem to care about.
If you read their small print they clearly state that you will not get your money back if their software doesnt work also.
DO NOT BUY THIS. There are plenty of other better options.

The review talks about RSEvents!, not about RSEvents!Pro, but unfortunately we cannot remove it due to JED regulations.
Let me start by saying RSEvents will be a great extension for some people, but only if 1) your events have only one admission fee (ticket in RSJoomla speak); or 2) if you have more than one event fee, you have unlimited capacity at your facility. Otherwise, you won't like this extension because overbooking is likely.
For example, our Club hosts several events that are open to both club members and non-members and the fee is higher for non-members. This means we have to set up two different "ticket" prices but setting limits per "ticket" type (member v. non-member) are useless, because we never know how many members and non-members will register. We have to continually monitor the total registrations and hope we just happen to check at the time we reach our facility's capacity. We have already over-sold our capacity at events because of the lack of a combined limit. While we enjoy many features of RSEvents integrating RSForms Pro, the lack of an overall combined "ticket" limit means we have to abandon it and use something else, if RSJoomla doesn't respond to requests to add this mission-critical feature.

There is so much potential available to this extension, but it just doesn't get it done and when you combine that with the outrageously high price they charge, it is just highway robbery.
As others have stated, the template designs are really poor. That being said, they are better then most - because the others are horrendous. That is probably why the RSJoomla team hasn't improved them, which is sad.
No ability to create tags to sort events, they allow multiple categories, but won't let you sort of them once you do. They calendar won't display the color codes correctly if you use multiple categories.
No ability to use smarty code to fix the horrible php coding they use.
No integration with sh404SEF or any other SEF. End up with terrible URL's
The potential here is tantalizing, but at the end of the day, I wouldn't recommend it.

I would like to echo several of the reviews here and say that the support for RSEVents is superb.
I submitted a minor bug report at 10pm and received a polite note that the component was fixed and updated in the morning.
The only reason I'm not giving a 5 star review, is that the component is a bit confusing to learn. Its not quite as polished as RSForms, their marquee product.
Part of the reason it is hard to learn is simply that there are too many options... fine grain control over an app, always comes at the expense of simplicity.
Nonetheless, I would strongly recommend this product. The support alone is worth the asking price.
