Set Your Ticket Price Right

Set the ticket price right

Setting a realistic price for your event is very important. You have to be very careful about deciding the ticket price. Nobody wants to buy costly tickets. Similarly, if you set the price too low, you may not be able to cover your costs. 

Sit back and spend little time on deciding the least price at which you will not be losing any money. You may use our calculation to decide minimum price:

Minimum Ticket Price = Total Event Cost / Expected Participants

The actual price depends on how much profit you want to make. Ask yourself a few questions to decide the actual price of the ticket: 

Are you a reputed established organizer or a newcomer?

Does your event have unique wow factors to attract people? 

Is there a celebrity artist performing in your event or you are conducting the event at the best venue in town?

  • Answering the above questions will help you to decide how high you can set the price. 

Once you login into the organizer account, you will find all show booking under the bookings menu.

Find some sponsors who will not just cover some expanse but also will promote the event. It will help to increase ticket sales. After all, if the event is successful their brand also will get better exposure. 

Additionally, try to partner up with relevant vendors or brands. For example: If you are organising a Concert or a Music Festival you are putting up a lot of thirsty and hungry potential customers. Try to partner up with nearby bars, food stalls or liquor brands who can offer some special discounts for your guests and help you to spread the word.
