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?

We don’t have any additional suggestions at this time but we will check with the development team and see if they have any more ideas. If they have helpful information we can share with you, we will reply again.
