New: Secondary marketplace — say goodbye to viagogo & scalpers
Smart Ticket Types

One event, dozens of ticket strategies — no code required.

Early-bird phases, bundle packages, VIP codes, group discounts and automatic price tiers. What used to be days of Excel configuration is now a drag-and-drop builder in Tickable.

The problem

Static ticket prices leave 30% of your potential revenue on the table.

Anyone selling all tickets at the same price is throwing away modern event economics' most important tool: price tiers. Early birds reward loyal fans, VIP codes hook in influencers, bundles raise average basket size. Yet most ticketing tools make exactly this nearly impossible.

Instead, organizers spend hours manually generating codes, managing ticket allocations in Excel and adjusting prices by hand — often with errors that later cause refund requests and dissatisfied buyers.

The solution

Smart ticket types — logic instead of manual work.

You define the rule once. Tickable executes it automatically, 24/7, in the background.

Time triggers: early-bird ends automatically at midnight

Quantity triggers: standard becomes more expensive once 500 sold

Bundles: 3 tickets + camping = one click, one price

Access codes with limit per code (e.g. 50 redemptions)

Tickets visible only to newsletter subscribers

Automatic group pricing from X people

"We set up 14 different ticket strategies for our tour — early-bird in three phases, VIP codes for the fan club, bundles with merch. Before, this would have taken us weeks. In Tickable it was an afternoon."

Why dynamic ticket strategies power modern events.

Organizers still selling all tickets at one price in 2026 are leaving money on the table. The event industry has moved from a static to a highly dynamic market: buyers expect early-booking incentives, collectors want bundles, regulars want privileges, sponsors need hidden codes.

Tickable maps every one of these use cases in a single, clear interface. You click together your strategy — Tickable handles ensuring the right tickets are visible at the right time at the right price.

How early-bird strategies secure cashflow for your production.

Early sales aren't just marketing — they're liquidity. Selling 30% of your tickets in the first 14 days lets you finance production, artist deposits and marketing without taking on bridge funding. Smart ticket types with automatic phase transitions make this strategy reliably executable.

Bundles raise average purchase value.

Tickable platform data shows organizers offering bundles (e.g. ticket + merchandise + program) reach an average purchase value 30–50% above the bare ticket price. Bundles are offered directly in checkout and bought without extra steps.

FAQ

What you need to know about smart ticket types.

How many ticket types can I create per event?

Unlimited. We have organizers using 50+ different ticket types per event — phases, bundles, codes, VIP slots.

Can codes be redeemed only once per person?

Tickable automatically switches to the next price tier. You don't need to do anything — buyers see the new price instantly.

Can I hide tickets that only become visible with a code?

Yes. Hidden ticket types only appear after entering a code at checkout. Ideal for pre-sales and sponsor tickets.

Do bundles work across multiple events?

Yes. You can build bundles from tickets across different events — e.g. festival pass + 2 side events.
