Scroll down for the Step-by-Step Guide on how to create a Price Table on a GA Event

KEY TERMS & TIPS:

What is a Price Table?
The pricing structure for your event. It's the first step in creating your prices.
You can have various Price Tables depending on your types of prices or booking periods.
Once set up you can set a capacity for your prices on your General Admission Venue Plan.
If you have Reserved Seating then you can connect prices to your seats. For more info on Reserved Seating, go here.

What is a Band?
Tiers or levels of pricing.
It is a way of grouping your prices and how you structure your bands may depend on your venue plan.
If you have a General Admission Venue Plan then you may wish to just have a General Admission band but you can have multiple bands if you want different groups of prices with different amounts of tickets you want to sell.
Create as many as you like and select a colour to help specify the Band.
If you have Reserved Seating, see here.

What is a Variant?
The types of price within a Band.
It is a way of categorising your prices, e.g. Full Price, Concession, VIP, etc.
Create as many as you like and then enter the prices for your Variants, per Band.

What is an Adjuster?
Commissions or fees inside or outside of a Variant, e.g:

Inside Adjuster = inside commission rate
Outside Adjuster = external booking fee

You can add these to your Variants on the Price Table, the fees will then show underneath your prices.
More info can be found here.
