# Set up ticket types, pricing, and sale windows

> Create multiple ticket tiers for your event — set prices, quantity limits, per-order minimums and maximums, and which event dates each ticket covers.

Treasure lets you create as many ticket types as your event needs — free or paid, limited or unlimited, single-day or multi-day. This page covers how to add ticket types, configure pricing (including tiered pricing), set inventory limits, and understand the service fees applied per transaction.

## Add a ticket type

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Tickets section">
    In the event editor, expand the **Tickets** section and click **Add ticket**. A panel slides open with all the ticket configuration fields.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in the basic information">
    Enter a **Ticket Name** — for example, "General Admission", "VIP", or "Early Bird". Optionally add a **Description** that appears at checkout to explain what's included.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a pricing model">
    Select a pricing model from the dropdown:

    | Pricing model | How it works                                                                                                                     |
    | ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
    | **Fixed**     | One price applies to every ticket purchased. Set the price to `0.00` for free tickets.                                           |
    | **Tiered**    | The price per ticket changes based on how many the buyer purchases. All units are charged at the rate of the final tier reached. |

    For fixed pricing, enter the price in the **Price** field. For tiered pricing, define each tier with a first unit, last unit, and price per unit. Leave the last tier's **Last Unit** blank to make it open-ended.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set inventory limits">
    Enter a **Quantity** to cap the total number of tickets available for this type. Leave it empty to allow unlimited purchases.

    Optionally set **Min Purchase** and **Max Purchase** to control how many tickets a single buyer can order at once.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select valid dates">
    For multi-day events, choose which event dates this ticket is valid for. By default, all event dates are selected. Deselect any dates you want to exclude.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save the ticket">
    Click **Create Ticket** to add it to your event. Repeat the process to add more ticket types. You can edit or delete any ticket type from the event editor at any time.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Service fees

Treasure applies a per-transaction service fee on every ticket sale. The fee depends on your plan:

| Plan         | Service fee per transaction |
| ------------ | --------------------------- |
| Basic (free) | 4% + \$0.50                 |
| Starter      | 3.5% + \$0.30               |
| Pro          | 3%                          |

By default, service fees are added on top of your ticket price and paid by the buyer at checkout. You can choose to absorb fees yourself by enabling **Host absorbs fees** in ticket settings — this deducts the fee from your payout instead of adding it to the buyer's total.

<Note>
  Standard credit card and ACH processing fees (2.9% + \$0.30 per transaction, charged by Stripe) are separate from Treasure's service fee and are not included in the amounts above.
</Note>

## Free tickets

To create a free ticket, set the **Price** to `0.00` and choose **Fixed** pricing. Free tickets do not require a connected Stripe account. Attendees can claim them without entering payment information.

## Tips for common ticket setups

* **Early bird**: Create a ticket at a lower price, then edit it to raise the price (or mark it sold out) once the early bird period ends.
* **VIP**: Add a separate ticket type with a higher price and a distinct name. Describe what's included in the description field.
* **Multi-day pass**: Leave all event dates selected. For single-day access, create one ticket per day with only that date selected.
