What is tiered ticketing?

Tiered ticketing means offering tickets in different phases or price tiers. Think of early bird tickets to reward quick decision-makers, VIP access for special guests, or last-minute tickets to fill empty seats. Each participant receives a unique QR code that can be scanned directly at the entrance. This makes check-in faster and gives you a clear overview, without loose lists or manual work.

Frequently asked questions about tiered ticketing

What is tiered ticketing?

Tiered ticketing is a way of selling event tickets in phases, each with its own price point. For example, early bird tickets are cheaper and only available for a limited time or quantity. Once they sell out, the next tier becomes available at a higher price. This approach rewards early sign-ups, helps you manage demand, and ensures more predictable attendance.

What types of tiered tickets are commonly used?

Event organizers often use different ticket tiers to meet the needs of various audiences.

The most common types include:

  • Early bird tickets: These are discounted tickets, available for a limited time or quantity.

  • Regular tickets: This is the standard price once early bird ends.

  • Last-minute tickets: These tickets are often priced higher for late buyers.

  • Group or student tickets: These are discounted tiers to attract specific audiences.

By mixing these tiers, you can appeal to different segments, encourage early sign-ups, and maximize overall event revenue.

How does a tiered ticketing system work?

A tiered ticketing system lets you set up multiple price levels for the same event. Typically, it works like this:

  • Early bird: discounted, limited in time or quantity.

  • Regular tickets: standard rate.

  • Last-minute or VIP tickets: higher price for premium access.
As soon as a tier expires or sells out, the system automatically makes the next price tier available. This creates urgency and encourages faster registrations without extra admin work.

Why should I use tiered ticketing for my event?

Tiered ticketing brings several benefits for event managers:

  • Encourages early sign-ups → more predictable budgets.

  • Boosts revenue → later or premium buyers pay more.

  • Adds flexibility → different audiences can choose a price point that suits them.

  • Reduces risk of no-shows → people who commit early are more likely to attend.

For events with limited seating or high demand, tiered ticketing helps you balance both attendance and profitability.

Can I sell tickets with multiple pricing tiers online?

Yes, many ticketing platforms allow you to create multiple pricing tiers and sell them online. You can set conditions for when one tier ends such as a date and the system automatically moves to the next price level. This makes it easy to manage early bird, regular, and late-stage sales without manual updates.

How do I choose the right ticketing software with pricing tiers?

When evaluating ticketing software, event managers should look for:

  • Simple setup of multiple ticket types.

  • Automation for switching between tiers.

  • Clear reporting on revenue per tier.

  • Integration with registration, payments, and on-site check-in.

  • Transparent pricing so there are no surprises.
