Offering Multiple Price Levels

Question:
"We’d like to post a discount code for three different seating sections (and three different price levels) at our next performance. i'll go! only allows us to put in one price level…which is a little misleading. Is there a way to post all three prices and three discounts?"

Good question! This first version of the system isn’t set up to deal with multiple pricing levels for one event, though it's absolutely on our suggestion list for version 2.0.

So until then, here's what to do:

In order to offer three different pricing levels, you'll have to enter them as three separate events.

So you would enter the first event, and click submit – then go to “Clone Events” and choose that event from the dropdown – all the fields will pre-populate – then just change the pricing info for the new event and click submit. You can either use the same event title for all of them, or you could do something to distinguish them like “[Event Name] – Price Level One” if you’d prefer.

Then, if you want to make sure that people know about all three options, you can include a sentence about it in the description field. Some options might be “There are other seating options for this event. To see all available choices, search for [Event Name] on the ‘find events’ page.” Or “To see all available seating/pricing options, click on the ‘[Organization Name]’ link above” (which will take them to your main presenter page and a list of all your events.)


After we launch and we have some stats about how successful various offers are, I'll be back with another post about price levels. Are i'll go! users more interested in super-low prices on already low-priced sections, or very high-percentage discounts on premium seats? We'll find out!
