# Event Tickets 5.5.0

### Summary

Feature Release

The latest version of Event Tickets adds compatibility with the newest versions of The Events Calendar and Event Tickets Plus.

As always, we recommend [testing updates](https://docs.nexcess.com/software/the-events-calendar/creating-and-using-a-wordpress-staging-site/) on a staging site first, but it should all be smooth sailing. **Note that this update is a big one and you must complete an additional event migration process to take advantage of the new features. Learn more about the migration process in our Knowledgebase article.**

**Version:** Event Tickets 5.5.0 is only compatible with The Events Calendar 6.0.0 and higher and Event Tickets Plus 5.6.0 and higher.

**Note:** Our plugins now support only [PHP version 7.3](https://docs.nexcess.com/software/the-events-calendar/system-requirements/) or higher.
