Frequently Asked Questions
How do I determine the right ticket price?
Start with your costs plus target profit, divide by expected attendees, then adjust based on market rates and perceived value. The calculator helps you model different scenarios.
How much discount for early bird pricing?
Early bird tickets typically offer 15-25% off regular price. This rewards committed attendees and helps you project attendance earlier.
What percentage of tickets should be VIP?
VIP tickets typically represent 10-20% of total capacity. Price them 50-100% higher than regular tickets and include meaningful added value.
Should I factor in refunds?
Yes, plan for 5-10% refund/no-show rate. Consider non-refundable policies or refund cutoff dates to minimize revenue impact.
How do processing fees affect pricing?
Ticketing platforms charge 3-8% plus per-ticket fees. Decide whether to absorb these or pass to attendees. The calculator includes fee calculations.
