Create Sliding Scale or Pay What You Like Admission Prices

Not sure what to charge for admission? Let attendees choose an admission level that works for them by setting up sliding scale or flexible pricing on your event. You can even allow your guests to contribute more than the listed price.

You may add individual price levels at set increments (for example, a $5 admission level, a $10 admission level, a $15 level, and so on). Attendees will be able to select from these price levels.

Alternatively, you can use the variable price type setting to create a single admission level for customers to self-select the value they'll pay for admission.
