Program Maintenance
Prices

The system sets prices on the basis of increases or discounts from a base ticket price, so you need to establish the base price for any particular Pricing Name. Normally this would be the highest value of a particular type of ticket being sold and all other prices would be at a discount to this price level. Typically the base price would be the full Adult ticket price.

You will set the discounted prices such as Child, Concession etc in the section Rates > Rate by applying the appropriate discounts or premiums (in fixed $ terms, % or +/-) to the base prices.

From the main menu bar, select Maintenance > Programs > Pricing

Highlight the Pricing name to which you wish to associate base prices 
   
Click on the Prices button

Click on the New button to set Prices or Modify button if you wish to change the name of Pricing name

If so, go back and enter all prices for each Price Category.

To Enable any or all of the pricing schedules you have just created, highlight the Pricing name you wish to enable, click on the Modify button, then check the Available box.
