By popular demand, organizers can include discounted pricing for the first attendees RSVPing to your next ticketed event. Offering a lower ticket price for a limited time can enhance anticipation for your events and encourage your group members to RSVP sooner.
To set up early bird pricing for an event, follow these steps:
🖥️ Desktop web
When scheduling an event, scroll down to the Event fee section.
Check This is a paid event.
Choose a method: PayPal.
Confirm the currency and amount.
Check Include early bird pricing.
Set your discounted price, duration of your offer in days, or quantity limit of tickets available.
After the discount ends, members who RSVP will see the full ticket price.

Combining with promo codes
Early bird pricing can be used at the same time as promo codes. Together these features can boost RSVPs and engagement. Learn more about setting up promo codes.
Troubleshooting early bird pricing
If attendees are sent to payment and see the full amount instead of your discounted early bird price, try these checks:
Verify your pricing setup. Confirm the early bird tier is active, the date window is correct, and it's linked to the ticket type attendees are selecting.
Check the attendee's selection at checkout. Attendees must choose the early bird ticket at the first step before proceeding to payment. A default option or another pricing tier can override the intended price.
Confirm your PayPal connection. Make sure your group's PayPal account is linked in Account Settings > Payments received (Add PayPal account). Note that only one PayPal account can be used across all groups you organize.
For issues with the amount shown or payment processing on the PayPal page, contact PayPal Support directly: https://www.paypal.com/selfhelp/home.
