Advanced vs Day-of Pricing, for every performance

Hi all,

We're looking into having a pre-sale price and day-of price for one of our exhibits. We'll have ~250 performances for the whole year (starting May-ish). We want tickets purchased day-of to be one price ($X), and tickets purchased in advance to be a lesser price ($Y). I see three ways of doing this:

1. work with Digonex (our dynamic pricing partner) to automate the price events each day
2. set uponea pricing event for the standard price type, for each performance
3. Have a 'pre-sales' price type, and a 'day-of' price type, with the different prices. 'Day-of' would only be available on the Performance Date, 'Pre-Sales' would only be available before the Performance Date

I dislike having multiple Price Types when one would suffice, but I also dislike having ~250 Price Events, each one performance-specific. What are your thoughts? Are there time-efficient ways to do this?
