Quantity discounts can be pooled across multiple events. Use this when buyers should qualify for a discount based on the total number of eligible tickets they purchase across a group of related events. Common uses include festival bundles, multi-show promotions, class series, and “buy more, save more” offers across several event pages.

​
How Pooled Discounts Work

When a quantity discount is pooled across events:
  • You choose the events included in the pool.
  • You set the quantity that activates the discount.
  • Tickets from the selected events count together toward that quantity.
  • The discount applies automatically at checkout when the cart qualifies.
For example, if the discount starts at four tickets, a buyer with two tickets for Event A and two tickets for Event B can qualify because the cart contains four eligible tickets in the event pool.

​
Create a Pooled Quantity Discount

​
View, Edit, or Delete a Pooled Discount

A pooled quantity discount appears in the quantity-discount list for every event included in its pool. You do not need to return to the event where it was originally created.
  1. Open any event included in the pool.
  2. Open its Quantity Discount or Volume Based Discounts page.
  3. Find the pooled discount, then choose the edit or delete action.
Edits apply to the shared pooled discount across every included event. Deleting it removes the shared discount from the full event pool.
Before deleting a pooled discount, confirm that you opened the correct shared promotion and review every event included in its pool.

​
Choose the Right Criteria

The criteria control how strict the discount is.
  • Same Event: tickets must be from the same event.
  • Same Event Time: tickets must be for the same date and time.
  • Same Ticket Type: tickets must use the same ticket type.
  • Same Seat: tickets must match the same seat across event times, when available.
For a true multi-event pooled promotion, make sure the selected criteria do not unintentionally limit the discount back to a single event.

​
Buyer Experience

Buyers add eligible tickets to the cart as usual. When the cart meets the pooled quantity rule, SimpleTix applies the discount automatically. If Display message to buyers on checkout screen is enabled, buyers can see a checkout message explaining how to qualify for the discount.

​
Troubleshooting

Confirm every ticket in the cart belongs to an event in the pool and meets the selected criteria.
Review the criteria. A same-event or same-event-time rule may prevent cross-event pooling.
Turn on Display message to buyers on checkout screen if you want the discount message shown during checkout.
Review the selected events, ticket criteria, password setting, and quantity threshold.
