An Early Bird ticket is a standard ticket tier with a lower price and a limited quantity. There is no separate Early Bird ticket type, you create it using the same ticket form as any other tier, and the name and quantity limit do the work.
Create an Early Bird tier- Open the ticket creation form, either on theTickets & AddOnsstep when creating your event, or fromMy Events → Live Events → Manage Ticketson an existing event.
- In theTicket Namefield, enter a name such as "Early Bird" or "Early Bird Admission".
- SetAvailable Ticketsto the number of early bird places you want to offer, for example, the first 50 or 100 tickets.
- Set theMaximum number of tickets for each customerif you want to limit how many one person can buy at the early price.
- Write aDescriptionnoting the price advantage or any conditions, for example, "Limited early bird price. Once these sell out, standard pricing applies."
- Set a lowerTicket Pricethan your standard admission tier.
- ClickSubmit.
When all early bird tickets sell out, the tier will show as sold out on your event page and buyers will move to the next available tier.
How the quantity limit creates urgencyTheAvailable Ticketscount is the only mechanism that closes an Early Bird tier. Buyers can see how many tickets remain, which creates natural urgency without you needing to manually close it. Once the quantity reaches zero, the tier is automatically unavailable.
