Answers.Body: <p>Yes - typically you would activate "register additional participants" to capture the additional names.  The participant count being 5 will NOT trigger this.  That workflow is preferred when someone is, say, buying a table of 10 for a fundraiser gala but doesn't know who will be attending.  And yes - the participant count should be "1" in this case.</p>

  I don't seem to see on option that allows us to have realtime data.  Either our numbers will be an underestimate because our Group of 5 participant count is set to 1 or if we set it to 5 then later get the names of the additional participants and add them to the event it will cause the participant count to be inflated.  I though of possibly breaking down the group of 5 pricing to the individual price, but there is no way require 5 registrants in order to get that pricing.

Answers.Body: <p>It sort of depends on what counts as 'additional information'. For example you could have a Profile that has (Participant-based) fields for the names of Persons 2 - 5, so this does not create Contact records for them, but you do know who they are.</p>

Body: <p>If I am using a Price Set field with a multiple participant count (Say, Five registrants for a discounted price of $550) will or can I also capture the additional registrant information.  </p>
  
  <p>to expound: </p>
  
  <p>We have individual registration options, as well as a group registration option.  I was planning on doing
  - 1 price field for General registrant (Participant count of 1)

  - 1 price field for Group of Five (Participant count 5)</p>
  
  <p>Do I need to activate the "Register additional participants" option in order to capture the additional participants names or will civi prompt for that info since the participant count is 5 for the Group of Five option.  </p>
  
  <p>If I do have to select the "Register additional participant" setting, would the registrant have to both select 4 from the Register Additional Participants drop down as well as select the "group of 5" option?  if this is the case, should the group of 5 participant count really be 1 instead of 5?  </p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>

Title: Participant Count and Capturing additional participant information
ThreadText: # Participant Count and Capturing additional participant information
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2018-06-22)
  
  If I am using a Price Set field with a multiple participant count (Say, Five registrants for a discounted price of $550) will or can I also capture the additional registrant information.
  
  to expound:
  
  We have individual registration options, as well as a group registration option. I was planning on doing
  - 1 price field for General registrant (Participant count of 1)
  - 1 price field for Student registrant (Participant count of 1)
  - 1 price field for Group of Five (Participant count 5)
  
  Do I need to activate the "Register additional participants" option in order to capture the additional participants names or will civi prompt for that info since the participant count is 5 for the Group of Five option.
  
  If I do have to select the "Register additional participant" setting, would the registrant have to both select 4 from the Register Additional Participants drop down as well as select the "group of 5" option? if this is the case, should the group of 5 participant count really be 1 instead of 5?
  
  Thanks
