Dynamically adjusted ticket pricing based on time left.

[Victor]

Hi guys,

Your plugin looks like it is going to be the solution to a number of requests from my client, it looks really well built and kitted out with features which is fantastic! We will likely be going with the pro version to allow for some required additional features in the pro setup.

The only pre-sales question i have is if we create events (in my clients case, a 10 week basketball training clinic which repeats after a 2 week break) that will have a set amount of spots/seats, and want to charge say $150 for the 10 week event, is there a way to dynamically adjust the ticket price if a customer should sign up 4 weeks into the program for instance? The Client would like to reduce the cost automatically if possible in such a scenario.

Is this functionality possible out of the box or via addons?

Thanks!
Victor

Hi Victor — thanks for writing in and I hope you had a great weekend!

Excellent question. It is possible to create another set of tickets at another price point that goes on sale at a specific date. That would allow you to set up a condition where one set of tickets goes off sale at one price where another set of tickets goes on sale at another price. I’ve used this personally to set up an Early Bird-priced ticket at a discount that expires on the same date that another higher-priced ticket goes on sale.

If you’re looking for something more automated and will be using WooCommerce as the ecommerce plugin, then you might consider the Dynamic Pricing extension for it. I think it’s mostly based on user roles, though, rather than time-based pricing. Still, could be worth checking out.

Does this help answer your question? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics.
