Hi,

Is it possible to have an “automated system” of coupons where for every 2 bought tickets, the third one would be free? So if I add i.e. 3 tickets to my cart, a coupon for 1 free ticket would automatically apply? Same goes for 6 tickets where 2 coupons would be added for 2 free tickets.

At the moment, we don’t have that option. I can suggest a ticket bundle, but you have to create ticket bundle for every possible purchase. Check this.

Graduated pricing is also a good option: http://eventespresso.com/wiki/set-graduated-ticket-pricing/

Thank you both for your answers, but we need a solution where we would automatically apply a discount after a certain amount of tickets due to our bookkeeping procedures.

Hi there,

We’re glad to help. Can you clarify:

automatically apply a discount after a certain amount of tickets

With both Ticket Bundles and Graduated Pricing, the price of the tickets is reduced or discounted. Do you mean you want a coupon code to be automatically applied so you can track the reduction in price in your accounting procedure instead of booking revenue ?

Hi, so we have this scenario:
– For 1 ticket the price is 250€
– For 2 tickets the price is 500€
– For 3 tickets the price is still 500€ but 500 is not divisible by 3 so the ticket price ends up looking at 166,67€ a piece and this equals 500,01€ when added up.

This is a problem then for our bookkeeping integration and we wanted to introduce a system for automatically applying a “free ticket” coupon for every third ticket. Meaning the 3 tickets would add up to 750€ but with a “free ticket” coupon applied, this would be lowered to 500€ which is our goal.

What do you think would be the best approach for this case?
