I am considering purchasing a subscription. I am wondering if the component meets all of these requirements natively or if additional extensions would be required?

This site will function as a mini Eventbrite. It will allow users to purchase event tickets. Vendors will be charged on a subscription basis for access. Venodrs will be able to post their own events and set ticket prices.

Also, does the JTicketing component offer additional functionality over what JEvents offers?

About - Yes
Media (Photos and Videos) - Yes for images, we can use vimeo or youtube for videos via the JEvents Custom Fields
Comments/Ratings
Contact Form/Request Free Quote - You have a link to the person from the event details, a contact form is normally via the Joomla! Contact Manager, but alternatively you could use another plugin for this from another developer
Ticket Price/Purchase tickets - With JEvents RSVP Pro yes

VENDOR/EVENT ACCOUNT FUNCTIONS
Edit listing content - Yes
Updatable calender - Not sure what you mean?
View/Reply to Contacts They can sent messages to attendees / registrations
Email Notifications - They can be notified of attendances to their events
Choose membership plans/upgrade We do not have a membership system? but for an event you can have custom fields etc to select prices etc
View/pay invoices/view ticket sales They can get a full list of attendees including costs etc in the RSVP Pro Export
Set ticket price - Yes with RSVP Pro
Automatically send printable ticket upon purchase

BUYERS ACCOUNT FUNCTIONS
Search/Save Searches/Add favorites - Yes to an extent, they can also be notified of upcoming events.

Hi Tony,

Thanks I will purchase a gold membership. I am still wondering about JTicketing. What are your thoughts on this extension? How easy is it to integrate with JEvents? Does it offer additional functionality not provided by JEvents (and Pro extensions)?

Thanks!

OK, thanks for your reply.

Going back to the Membership System requirement in my OP, here is how this would work. It would be set up for vendors who are posting events to the site. Two access levels would be established:
1) Basic - Post events, sell tickets. No posting images, only one event per month, maximum 10 attendees.
2) Premium - Full access to use all the functionality of JEvents.

Please note that I am not extremely particular about the limitations of the basic account level. I would like to place the easiest possible limitations on the JEvents Basic members in an attempt to upsell them to Premium membership. I am open to suggestions on this.

Is this possible?

Thanks.

Hello,

Using Joomla! 2.5 this would be possible using the built in ACL. But for allowing them to buy upgrades etc you will need another Joomla! component to control this.
