How to Create Price Tiers
Price Tiers enable you to accept payment for your event (they can also be free!). Its most common use is for accepting registrations for different attendee types, but by no means is it limited to this, however, for the sake of this article we're going to focus on using Price Tiers to accept attendee registrations.
To add a Price Tier:

2. Click the Actions button then click Price Tiers in the dropdown menu.
3. On the Price Tiers page, click the Add Price Tier button.
4. Fill out the information in the Price Tier Details section.
Tier Name: How the Price Tier will be displayed on the event site. For example, "Early Bird" or "General Admission".
Limit: Enables you to restrict how many times the Price Tier can be used.
Quantity: Putting a number in the Max input will allow registrants to select more than one of the price tier. However this has other side effects, so for most Price Tiers this will be left blank, see How to Use Quantities for more information.
Promo Code: This hides the price tier so that it's only accessible by entering a Promotional Code. Learn more about its uses in How to Create Hidden Price Tiers .
Description: Give your registrants more information.
Note: If you have breakout sessions, make sure to choose which days of the event the breakout sessions apply to by selecting "Days Included" under Options.
