# Ticket Price Changes

> Schedule a ticket to change price automatically, by date or by the number sold.

Price Changes let you sell a ticket at different prices on a schedule you set in advance — the price switches automatically, with no need to edit the ticket at the moment it should change. Use it to run an Early Bird offer, a limited-time deal, or a price that steps up as your event fills.

<Info>
  Set the ticket's currency and standard price first. Until a currency is set,
  the price-changes controls stay locked.

## When to use price changes

Price changes work best when you want to reward early commitment or build urgency:

* **Early Bird pricing** — open at a lower price for the first few weeks or the first batch of tickets, then step up. See [Early Bird pricing](/docs/event-setup/early-bird-pricing) for why and when to run one.
* **Stepped pricing** — raise the price in stages as the event approaches.
* **Limited-time offers** — run a short promotional price with a clear end date.

A few things to keep in mind before you set them up:

* A price change is scheduled **per ticket**, in the ticket's **Pricing & availability** section. Each ticket has its own schedule.
* If a price change ends before the next one is scheduled to start, the ticket falls back to its **standard price** in the gap. To avoid an unintended jump, schedule the next change to begin immediately after the previous one ends.
* An active price change **can't be edited directly** — plan your schedule ahead of time (see [Editing a price change that is already live](#editing-a-price-change-that-is-already-live)).

## Setting up a price change

Price changes are configured on each ticket, under **Pricing & availability**.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the ticket's Pricing & availability section">
    Edit the ticket, find the **Pricing & availability** section, and select **Add a price change here**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the price">
    Enter the price for this period. The currency matches the ticket and can't be changed here.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose when the price change begins">
    Set it to begin **immediately** (or immediately after the previous price change ends, if you're chaining several together), or on a **specific date and time**. Times use the event's timezone.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose when the price change ends">
    Pick one or both ending conditions:

    * **On a specific date and time.**
    * **When a set number of tickets have sold** at this price.

    If you set both, the price change ends as soon as the first condition is met.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a price label">
    The price label puts an urgency banner on the ticket — this is what nudges participants to book before the price rises, so we recommend setting one on every price change. Choose the label that fits:

    | Label                   | Best for                                             |
    | ----------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
    | **Super Early Bird**    | Your first, lowest tier                              |
    | **Early Bird**          | A standard early offer                               |
    | **Limited time offer**  | A short promotional price                            |
    | **Last chance to buy!** | The final tier before the price rises or sales close |

    You can also override the ticket's **title** and **description** while this price is active — leave these blank to keep the ticket's usual wording.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Save the ticket. The price change appears as a card in the schedule, and the live one is marked as active.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What participants see

When a price change with a label is active, participants see the price for that period plus an urgency banner on the ticket. The banner adapts as the deadline or remaining quantity gets close — you don't configure these messages, they update on their own:

| Situation                            | What the banner shows                     |
| ------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------- |
| 10 or fewer left at the price        | "Early Bird — only 3 left at this price!" |
| More than a week before the end date | The label on its own, e.g. "Early Bird"   |
| Within the last week                 | "Early Bird — only 5 days left!"          |
| The day before it ends               | "Early Bird — ends tomorrow!"             |

<Note>
  Participants don't visit your event page as often as you do, so most will only
  ever see one or two of these variations. Each one is a call to action that
  creates urgency — prompting them to book before the price rises.
</Note>

If you set a title or description override, participants see that wording while the price is active. Once a tier sells out or ends, earlier tiers are grouped together and shown as already sold out, so participants can see they missed an earlier price.

## Managing a schedule of price changes

Each price change shows as a card with its own menu. You can build a full schedule — for example Super Early Bird, then Early Bird, then your standard price — by adding several changes back to back. From the menu you can:

* **Add** another price change, or **insert** one above or below an existing one.
* **Edit** an upcoming change to adjust its price, dates, or quantity.
* **End early** to stop a change before its scheduled end.
* **Delete** an upcoming change you no longer want.

To avoid the ticket dropping back to its standard price between tiers, set each change to begin immediately after the previous one ends.

## Editing a price change that is already live

You can't directly edit a price change once it's active.

**What happens:** if you try, you're told the change is in effect and can't be edited directly. To make a change, you end the current one and create a new one that becomes active immediately.

**What to do:** plan your schedule ahead of time so you rarely need to. If you do, ending a change can't be undone, so have the replacement price ready before you end the live one.

## Deleting a price change

Deleting an upcoming or past price change can't be undone. Removing a change from the middle of a schedule can leave a gap where the ticket reverts to its standard price — check the rest of your schedule still flows the way you want afterward.

## Tracking price changes

To see how your tiers are performing, use the **Price Changes** report in your dashboard. The label you choose is also used to group each change in your reports, so consistent labels make the report easier to read.
