    • Early Bird - Offers Attendees a discount for purchasing tickets earlier.
    • Student/Senior/Children/Member Price - Offers a discount for Attendees of a specific group.
• Set ticketing tiers - add multiple ticket tiers to your Event.
• Set quantity - how many tickets would you like to sell at each tier? (For virtual Events, each Event format has different capacities.)
• Set ticket price (for Paid Events only) - You can see the Attendees' total cost and choose to include fees or not. 
• Set ticket sales end times - You can end ticket sales anytime before your Event starts or ends. This is useful for setting up dynamic ticketing.

Examples of dynamic ticket pricing:

• • Your Event is on December 15, and you decide to offer the following:
    
    • General Admission ($20) from November 1 - 30
    • VIP ($50) from October 1 - December 15.
    • Last-Minute ($25) from December 1 - 15.
