LimiTickets
Limit the number of simultaneously open support tickets
LimiTickets helps keep support processes clear, fair and predictable. Set individual limits for Joomla user groups and define how many open tickets a user may have at the same time.
€19 per year including updates and premium support
More control over open support tickets
In support systems, it is important to distribute resources fairly and prevent users from opening an uncontrolled number of tickets at the same time.
LimiTickets checks how many open tickets the logged-in user already has when a new ticket is created. If the limit assigned to the user’s Joomla group has been reached, no additional ticket can be submitted.
This keeps support workflows structured, improves planning and allows your team to focus on the most important requests.
The extension is not tied to a single helpdesk system and can monitor several compatible ticket components at the same time.
Ticket limits that match your support model
LimiTickets is ideal for websites where users receive different levels of support depending on their membership, subscription or user role.
Service level models
Set different limits for basic, standard and premium user groups.
Support subscriptions
Limit simultaneously open tickets according to the selected support plan.
Maintenance plans
Define individual ticket limits for customers with different maintenance agreements.
Free accounts
Apply stricter limits to free users than to paying customers or members.
VIP and administrator exceptions
Exclude selected user groups completely from ticket limits.
Multiple helpdesk systems
Monitor open tickets across several compatible ticket components.
Everything you need for fair ticket limits
LimiTickets combines flexible configuration with a clear and easy-to-understand workflow.
Group-based ticket limits
Assign each Joomla user group its own limit for simultaneously open tickets.
Flexible status definition
Choose which ticket statuses count as open, such as “Open”, “In Progress” or “Waiting for Customer”.
Intelligent group selection
Define which user group determines the applicable limit when a user belongs to multiple groups.
Bypass groups
Exclude selected groups completely from ticket limits, such as administrators, staff or VIP customers.
Limit reached warning
Show users a clear message when they are no longer allowed to create another ticket.
Automatic redirect
Redirect users to a custom information page when their ticket limit has been reached.
Multiple ticket systems
Use LimiTickets with several compatible Joomla helpdesk extensions at the same time.
No core modifications
The extension works without modifying Joomla or the supported ticket systems.
Check ticket limits automatically
Once configured, LimiTickets works automatically in the background.
Whenever a user tries to create a new ticket, the plugin checks the user groups, the applicable ticket limit and the number of already open tickets.
A new ticket can only be created when the configured limit has not yet been reached.
The plugin checks which Joomla user groups the logged-in user belongs to.
The configured limit for the relevant user group is loaded.
Open tickets from all enabled helpdesk systems are taken into account.
Depending on the result, the new ticket is created or the user receives a notification.
Predictable and fair support processes
Clearly defined ticket limits help you control the use of your support system and protect your team from an excessive number of parallel requests.
Fair resource distribution
Each user group receives the level of support intended for its membership or plan.
Fewer duplicate requests
Users cannot open an unlimited number of tickets about the same issue.
Better planning
The number of open requests remains manageable and workload becomes easier to control.
Flexible support plans
Adjust ticket limits to different subscription, membership or maintenance models.
Clear communication
Users are informed clearly when they are no longer able to create another ticket.
Lightweight integration
LimiTickets works without unnecessary overhead and does not modify existing tickets.
