Overview

One of the main perks of memberships is exclusive or discounted pricing on events. Below is how to enable and configure these discounts in SimpleTix.

​

1. Setting Discounts in General Admission Events

1. Log In → go to Events → select your GA event → Times & Tickets.
2. Select Ticket Type
   • Find the ticket you want discounted for members.
3. Click the Membership Discount Icon
   • Or look for a toggle labeled “Add membership discount.”
4. Configure the Discount
   • Flat-rate (e.g., $5 off) or percentage (e.g., 20% off).
   • Set whether service fees are waived.
   • (Optional) Hide the ticket type from non-members or limit how many discounted tickets each member can buy.
5. Save your changes.

​

2. Discounts in Reserved Seating Events

• For reserved seating, membership discounts generally apply across the entire seating chart or specific seat categories.
• Steps:
  1. Events → select the reserved seating event → Times & Tickets.
  2. Look for the Membership Discount setting.
  3. Choose your discount style (flat or percent) and fee rules.
  4. Save.
• Members must be logged in to see their discounted seat pricing.

​

3. Discounts in Flex Pass Events

• For flex pass, membership discounts apply at the ticket level.
• Steps:
  1. Events → select the flex pass event → Ticket Settings.
  2. Look for the Membership Discount setting.
  3. Choose your discount style (flat or percent) and fee rules.
  4. Save.
• Members must be logged in to see their discounted seat pricing.

​

4. Testing the Member Experience

1. Log In as a Member (or create a test account).
2. View the Event: Confirm that discounted ticket options appear.
3. Check Out: Ensure the discount is correctly applied before payment.

​

5. Common Scenarios

• Limit on Discount Usage: You can cap how many discounted tickets each member can buy per event (e.g., max 4).
• Non-Member Visibility: You can hide the membership-only ticket type from the general public.
• Multiple Membership Types: If you have multiple tiers (e.g., Bronze gets 10% off, Silver gets 20% off), set each discount rule separately.

​

6. Troubleshooting

• Members Not Seeing Discounts
  • Confirm they’re logged into the correct email account associated with the membership.
  • Ensure membership is active (not expired or canceled).
• Discount Not Applying to All Ticket Types
  • The discount only applies to the specific ticket type(s) or seat sections you chose. Check settings for each ticket type.
• Reserved Seating Quirks
  • Some seat-mapping configurations might always show a base price. The discount only appears at checkout. Test thoroughly.

Next Steps

Once your membership discounts are set, verify everything works by placing a test order.
