Price Visibility - Earlybird Prices

Scroll down for the Step-by-Step Guide on how to create Earlybird Prices with Visibility Rules

KEY TERMS & TIPS:

How do I create Earlybird Prices?
The best option is to create prices that only appear for Earlybird performances.
You can do this through a combination of Performance Tags and Visibility Rules on your Price Table.

What are Visibility Rules?
A way of restricting when/how your prices are visible for ticket buyers.
You can restrict a price's visibility by customer tag, performance date/day/tag and amount of price band or venue plan sold.
For more info, see here.

How can I use Performance Tag for Visibility Rules?
If you have prices that are performance-specific, then the Performance Tag rule is a useful way of setting visibility for a certain type of performance, i.e. you can set a rule that a price will only show for the performance that has a tag attached to it.

For example, for Earlybird prices, you can:

• Add 'earlybird' as a tag to certain performances
• Create an Earlybird price variant on your Price Table
• Add a Visibility Rule and select the 'Performance Tag is' option
• Select the 'earlybird' Tag
• This price will then only appear when a customer/Box Office staff member selects the Earlybird performance on the calendar
• You can also then set a rule that sets visibility for any prices that aren't Earlybird by selecting the 'Performance Tag not in' option

How do I add Tags to Performances?
Via the Performances tab on the Event page.
You can either add the Tag in bulk or add a Tag to a performance individually.

See step 1 in our Step-by-Step guide below for more info.

How do I set a Performance Tag Visibility Rule?
On the Price Table for your Event, right-clicking on a Variant and selecting Manage Visibility.
You can then use the Performance Tag option when creating your ruleset.
