Early-bird pricing

Early-bird pricing on Trybe is built with ticket tiers and sale windows: an Early-bird tier that ends on a date or at a quantity, and a Regular tier that takes over. No fees for organizers hosting on Trybe.

What is Early-bird pricing?

Early-bird pricing is a way for organizers to sell the first tickets cheaper and raise the price later. On Trybe you build it with ticket tiers and sale windows rather than a special setting: create an Early-bird tier with a lower price and either an end date, a limited quantity or both, then create a Regular tier with a sales period that starts when the early-bird ends. A tier's price does not change on its own; the next tier simply opens when the previous one closes or sells out, so buyers always see which price is live. You can add as many steps as you like, for example Early-bird, Regular and Last call. On the event page, buyers see a countdown before a tier opens, Selling fast and Almost sold out chips as it fills, and Sold out or Sales ended once it closes. Promo codes are a separate feature for targeted discounts. Organizers hosting events on Trybe pay no platform fee on any tier; the buyer pays one service fee at checkout.

How it works

  1. 1

    Create the early-bird tier

    Set a lower price and an end date, a quantity, or both.

  2. 2

    Add the regular tier

    Create the next tier with its full price and a sales period that starts when the early-bird ends.

  3. 3

    Publish the event

    Both tiers appear on the event page, with a countdown on the one that opens later.

  4. 4

    The price steps up

    When the early-bird closes or sells out, the regular tier is the one buyers can pick.

Questions organizers ask

How do I set up early-bird tickets on Trybe?

Create an Early-bird tier with a lower price and an end date or a limited quantity. Then create a Regular tier whose sales period starts when the early-bird ends, and both appear on the event page in order.

Does the ticket price go up automatically?

Not on a single tier. Instead, the early-bird tier closes on its end date or when it sells out, and the next tier opens on its own start date, so the price change happens without you touching anything.

Can I limit early-bird tickets by quantity instead of by date?

Yes. Give the early-bird tier a quantity, and it shows Sold out once those tickets are gone. You can combine a quantity and an end date on the same tier.

What do buyers see before the regular tier opens?

The event page shows a countdown on tiers that are not on sale yet and the price of the tier that is live. Once a tier closes, it shows Sales ended.

Should I use promo codes instead of an early-bird tier?

Use tiers when everyone should get the early price for a period. Use promo codes when only certain people should get a discount, for example your subscribers or a promoter's audience.

Does early-bird pricing cost extra?

No. Tiers and sale windows come with every event, and organizers hosting events on Trybe pay 0% platform fees. The buyer pays one service fee at checkout.
