Early bird pricing

Early Bird gives every ticket a second, lower price that applies automatically until a deadline. After the Before date and time, the normal Price applies – no action needed from you.

Set it up#

Rules#

• Early bird price must be between HKD 10.00 and 100,000.00 and not higher than the base price – "Early bird price must be between 10.00 and 100000.00 HKD, and not exceed the base price."
• The Before date/time is required once ticked ("Please select the early bird end date and time") and cannot be after the event start ("Early bird end date cannot be after the event start date.").
• With multiple ticket types, early bird is set per ticket type – the full-course bundle can have one, the drop-in ticket another.

What buyers see#

The event page shows the early-bird price as the current price while it is active; after the deadline it switches to the standard price. The price a member pays is the one valid at the moment they pay, not when they joined – if an approved-but-unpaid member pays after the deadline, they pay the standard price.

Combining with other discounts#

• Group ticket discounts are calculated on the price in force (early bird or standard) – see Group tickets and discounts.
• Promo codes take a fixed amount off per seat after the price is determined. The admin checks that every combination – base, early bird, group tier – minus the promo stays at HKD 0 or at least HKD 10 ("After the discount, every possible ticket price (base, early bird, group) must be $0 or at least HKD 10.00.").
