Hi Andras -- thanks for this gist.

Do you know why the Woo product records that Event Tickets Plus creates don't already have the event title in the product title? Seems like an obvious solution and an easy one to implement! Am I missing something?

Without this, even if we use your code to add event info in the cart, it could be quite problematic to track the purchase records and sort out who bought tickets to what event in the WooCommerce data (for us, this is a primary reason to use ETP -- so we can integrate event attendees with our relationship management for Woo customers).

Any advice on this?

@Photosynthesis - hi there!
I am looking at the same problem as you last year. Did you work this out? Would you mind sharing your solution? I'd really appreciate a little push in the right direction... cheers!

Hi @Photosynthesis and @voneff

Good question, I don't know why it was implemented like that. I will try to check with the developers to get some insights on this.
