How to reduce admission price at a certain time of day

Barbara Pinney
$organization

Does anyone reduce the price of admissions based on time of day? ex. 9AM - 5 PM regular pricing is in effect; at 5PM all prices drop to one low price.

Looking for suggestions on the best approach for doing this... thanks.

    Thank you Susan.... great idea!

    At the Wadsworth Atheneum, admission is free 4 – 5 pm. It’s set up as its own performance and we use a few price types (adult, senior, student) so that we can estimate value. Until about a year ago, admission was half price from 4 – 5 pm. After changing to “free” admission (and advertising it as Happy Hour), attendance during that hour went from about 2 to 15. It has pulled in a new audience of first time visitors and has been a good experience. Best, Sue

    Thank you Ray.  I looked at price layers and had the same thought as you -- a bit tricky and time consuming.

    Hi Barbara,

    You could simply set up a pricing event to happen each day at 5pm to lower your pricing.

    Hi,
    Another option would be to add a price layer, which is date and time specific. It may be a time-consuming task, and you must be careful because any overlap will be additive for the two layers.

    Thanks Michele... I was a bit overwhelmed by the price event documentation but I found and watched the Revenue Management webinar which demo'd how to create a price event and that is exactly what we want. Thanks!
