Pricing is an important part of marketing.Price too low and people may not believe you have a quality product or service (or in our case a quality event)
Price too low and you are assured to lose money on your event
Price too high and you will keep folks from being able to attend
Price high and people may think your event is of a high quality(but you run risks of you don’t actually deliver a high quality event)
Like Goldilocks & the Three Bears — when it comes to pricing: Everyone is trying to get it “Just Right.”Many FactorsWhile there are many factors that go into pricing two of the most important ones are:The economics of your event Meaning what will it actually cost you (all costs included) to offer the event as you are planning on delivering it
The Competitive LandscapeMeaning what are other folks charging for any other event that is similar to yours, or offered at the same venue, etc.
—————If you are track 1 follow instructions A. Track 2 should follow instructions B.Instructions A (Track 1)Create a budget for your event.Your budget must make note of the legal capacity for the venue you are selecting; (time to pick an actual real venue if you haven’t yet)
Create in Google sheets and link to it.
In your post indicate the highlights.
Based on the legal capacity of venue calculate the cost you must charge for tickets for each of the following:Selling out (all available capacity) where you break even (e.g., no profit)
Selling out 1/2 of the available capacity (where you break even (e.g, no profit)).
Selling out 3/4 of the capacity where you make a 15% profit (e.g., total cost ($) * 1.15)
Link to two events that are as similar as possible (given the circumstances). LINK to their pricing page.
Indicate the prices for these two other events and compare with your own.
