It is possible to layer a price chart over an event's default pricing model, allowing you to apply new price values and discounts or to terminate the ability for a price type/price zone combination to be active. If you are going to layer price charts, you must first assign a pricing model on the Event Configuration - Events|Pricing page or the Event Configuration - Admissions Management|Pricing page.
When a price chart is assigned to an event with an assigned pricing model, any new price zone values will override the existing ones. If a value is not entered for a particular price zone, the existing price will apply. If multiple price charts are layered, the price chart with the most recent assignment date will take precedence.
For example:
|
Pricing Model |
|
Price Chart |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
Price Zone |
Configured Value |
Resulting Value |
Configured Value |
Resulting Value |
Price Zone A |
$100.00 |
$100.00 |
$50.00 |
$50.00 |
Price Zone B |
$50.00 |
$50.00 |
-10% |
$45.00 |
Price Zone C |
$25.00 |
$25.00 |
|
N/A |
Price Zone D |
$20.00 |
$20.00 |
-5 |
$15.00 |
If the resulting value of a price zone is a negative number that price zone will not be available for sale.
When using percentages it is important to specify whether you are adding, subtracting or using a percentage of the orginal value.
