Genre-Aware Ticket Pricing in India

Flat pricing ignores why people buy

Genre changes buying behavior. A comedy room may sell later but convert strongly near showtime. A techno night may move early if the artist has a defined fan base. A sundowner may depend more on group plans and weather. Pricing should reflect that reality.

Start with the buying curve

Ask when your fans normally commit. If they buy late, keep early-bird inventory small and use it as proof rather than revenue. If they buy early, give your first tier enough capacity to create visible momentum.

Do not overcomplicate the ladder

• Use three public phases unless the event is large enough to justify more.
• Keep each jump meaningful but not insulting.
• Separate tables, VIP, and backstage access from normal entry.
• Use promoter codes for attribution, not hidden discount chaos.
