Why Ticket Types Matter
The tickets you create determine how people access your event and how much they pay. Well-designed tiers can increase revenue and reward early supporters. Confusing pricing or unnecessary complexity just costs you registrations.
Setting Up a Ticket Tier
During event creation, choose whether your event requires tickets — No Tickets keeps it free entry, Required Tickets opens up tier setup. For each tier, fill in:
- Ticket Name — what attendees see (General, VIP, Early Bird)
- Currency
- Description — what this tier includes
- Amount — the price
- Total Quantity — how many are available
- Max Per User — how many one person can buy
Use Add Tier to create more than one — a General and a VIP, for example — and toggle a tier off or mark it sold out without deleting it.
Common Configurations
Single free ticket — the simplest option, for events where you want a headcount and check-in without charging.
Single paid ticket — one price, one access level. Clear and easy to communicate.
Early bird + standard — a discounted tier available for a limited time or quantity, followed by standard pricing.
Tiered access (General + VIP) — different price points and benefits. Only add a premium tier if it genuinely offers something distinct.
Setting Prices
Price based on the value you are delivering. Underpricing a high-value event signals low quality. Overpricing a first event with no track record creates a barrier that is hard to overcome — research what comparable events charge, and lean accessible if this is your first time out.
Support and Gifting
Separate from tickets, you can turn on Support and Gifting to let attendees support you directly. Pick a button style — Support, Contribution, Buy Me a Coffee, Help Fund, Sponsor — or write your own, set a currency, and add a purpose if you want people to know what it goes toward.
