Overview
Thoughtful pricing can noticeably increase both revenue and attendance. Here are approaches that work well.
Proven tactics
-
Early-bird pricing — reward early commitment and build momentum with a lower opening tier.
-
Tiered pricing — let the price rise automatically as tickets sell or as the event nears, creating urgency.
-
Good-better-best — offer General, VIP, and a premium option; many buyers choose the middle.
-
Clear value — describe exactly what each ticket includes to justify higher prices.
Watch the numbers
-
Prices are set before tax; remember VAT is added on top for the buyer.
-
Keep the Ticket Hero commission in mind when setting your target margins.
-
Review your revenue report and adjust upcoming tiers based on what's selling.
