Custom Pricing

With Amelia, managing event ticket sales is straightforward and flexible. You can create tickets for various categories, such as “Adult,” “Children,” and “Couples” attendees, each with its own pricing and capacity. Additionally, the Pricing by Date Range feature allows for dynamic pricing based on booking dates, ensuring you can offer early bird discounts or adjust prices as the event date approaches. This combination enables you to cater to different audience needs while maximizing your event’s accessibility and revenue potential.

Event Tickets

Once an event is created, as shown here, access the “Pricing” tab and enable “Custom Pricing”:

pricing-tab

This section allows you to configure different pricing tickets with various pricing options.

Adding Pricing Categories

To create a new pricing category or ticket, click Add Pricing Category. A new section will appear, allowing you to define the following for each custom ticket:

  • Name: The ticket’s label.
  • Price: The cost assigned to the ticket.
  • Available Spots: The number of spots allocated for this ticket.

Once you’ve created your custom pricing category (ticket), you’ll find the “Maximum Allowed Spots” option just below it.

The Maximum allowed spots option sets a limit on the total number of spots available across all categories. If enabled, it will override any ticket capacity (spots) previously created.

When custom pricing is enabled, the custom pricing fields become “grayed out,” indicating they cannot be edited. The capacity set in the “Maximum Allowed Spots” field now functions as the default value for the total number of tickets available for sale.

Pricing by Date Range

Apart from Event Tickets (categories), there’s a feature that allows you to set different prices for specific periods, called the “Pricing by Date Range” option.

Enabling the “Pricing by Date Range” option reveals the ability to select a date range and set prices for the previously created pricing categories (tickets) within that specific time frame. Additional date ranges can be added by clicking the Add Date Range button. When booking the event, the price displayed will correspond to the date of the booking. If there is no date range defined for a particular period, the default price for the ticket category will apply.

Looking at the same ticket prices as showcased in the screenshots above, for an event scheduled on October 30th, from 10:00 – 12:00, the “Pricing by Date Range” feature allows for setting different price tiers based on booking dates.

  • For instance, an early bird discount can be offered to anyone who books by October 20th.
  • Between October 20th and 29th, the regular event price will apply – meaning there’s no need to create a date range for this period.
  • Bookings made on the day of the event, October 30th, can be set at the highest price.

Please Note:

  • The “Early Bird” promotion will not be visible to customers during booking; discounted prices will be displayed without indicating that they will change after a specific date. To inform customers about the discount or potential price increase on the final day, this information should be included in the event description.
  • Please note that in order to be able to add any sort of Date range pricing you first need to define the Date for that specific event.

Viewing Event Tickets

You can choose between the Event List and Event Calendar formats. This choice depends on your preferences, but both formats support this option. When you select an event, it will be displayed in a pop-up. By clicking the “Book Event” button, all the ticket options you have created in Custom Pricing will be offered to customers for booking.
