✨ Please note: Discount sets are available on the Lite plan or above.
There are two ways you can create a 2-for-1 deal for your customers:
An automatic bulk booking rule.
Using a specific discount code.
This article covers:
Setting up a 2-for-1 bulk booking rule
To set up your discount:
Select Packages & Discounts, then Discounts from the left-hand menu on your account:
Select Create a discount set:
Name the set: This is an internal reference name. Choose something descriptive, especially if you have multiple discount codes. Example: '15% Discount'
Discount type: If you're using Passes, you can choose to make this code specifically redeemable against a pass purchase. Otherwise, select Ticket discount.
You will need to create separate discount sets if you want a discount redeemable against both tickets and passes.
Restrict from date: Customers can use the discount against valid events from the date set.
Restrict until date: Customers can use the discount against valid events until the date set here (ending at 23:59 of the specified date).
Ticket discount applies to: You can restrict discounts by entry, ticket or tag. Your options will appear when you select Add usage restriction:
Leaving it blank means customers with the discount can apply it to all events on your schedule page.
Free tickets are excluded from the bulk-booking discount offer.
You may have multiple entries or tickets with the same name, so you must choose all that are applicable. The next upcoming date and time are shown next to each entry to help identify the separate entries:
The date and time listed are for the next event in this entry. When selected, the restriction applies to all dates and times within the entry, not just the specified date and time. The next event is displayed to help differentiate between multiple entries with the same name.
Rules: Set the rule for your bulk-booking offer. Select Add discount rule:
Minimum tickets selected: This is the minimum number of tickets chosen for the offer to apply. Set to 2 so that the discount is applied if two or more valid tickets are selected.
Type of discount: You can choose whether the discount value is fixed or calculated as a percentage of the total ticket value in the deal.
For example, in a 2-for-1 offer, if one ticket costs £5, the total price for two tickets would be £10. A 50% discount would reduce that to £5. However, if a customer buys more than two tickets, the discount will still apply to the whole basket.
If you use a fixed discount, like £5 off, the discount will never exceed £5, even if the customer selects 10 tickets. But if you use a percentage discount (e.g., 50%), the discount will apply to each ticket, giving the customer 50% off each ticket they select.
Set if this rule will expire at any point: Set an expiry date (if applicable). The discount set settings will override this if you have a date range set there too.
Days in advance limit: The time frame between events determines when a discount can be redeemed. For example, if you want to offer a discount for tickets to five events within six weeks, set the time frame to 42 days.
Only count separate events?: If checked, the discount will only apply if the tickets are for different events. If unchecked, the discount can be used if a customer books for themselves and a friend for the same class on the same day.
Once finished, select Add rule to add the discount rule to the set, then Save changes:
Testing the discount rule
You can test that your discount rule is working as expected by making a test booking on your public booking page as if you were a customer. Either abandon the booking before the payment or bypass the payment altogether if booking as an admin.
Setting up a 2-for-1 discount code
To set up a 2-for-1 discount code, you'll first need to great a group ticket in your entry.
To do this:
Open your Scheduling page, select the entry, then Edit entry:
Select the Tickets & Costs tab, then Create ticket.
Name the ticket under Ticket name, for example, "Ticket for 2 people".
Add a cost under Ticket cost. For example if your single costs £10, you may wish to make the group ticket £20.
Select Save ticket, then either Save or Save & Exit to save the entry.
Creating the code
To create the 2-for-1 discount:
Select Packages & Discounts, then Discounts from the left-hand menu on your account.
Select Create a discount set and name the set.
Select Ticket discount under Discount type:
Restrict use on events occurring between: Set which dates the code will be valid for use.
Ticket discount applies to: You can restrict discounts by entry, ticket or tag. Your options will appear when you select Add usage restriction:
Leaving it blank means customers with the discount code can apply it to all events on your schedule page.
You may have multiple entries or tickets with the same name, so you must choose all that are applicable.
Select the group ticket you set up in your entry:
Next, select Add discount code in the Codes section:
Discount codes are NOT case-sensitive. A settings sub-menu will appear where you can add the code name (in the box under Add one or multiple codes) e.g. 2FOR1DEAL.
Choose the code to be either a Fixed or Percentage amount and add the discount amount, e.g. £10 or 50%.
Set an expiry date and/or how many times it can be used (if applicable).
Select Restrict to single use per booker email address to ensure the code can only be used once per email address:
If you need to edit these settings, you can delete the code by selecting the bin icon, then re-create it.
Select Add codes to add the code to the discount set, then select Save changes.
💡 Please note: Our discount code system doesn't have a built-in feature to limit codes to specific groups.
This would reduce the price of this particular ticket from £20 to £10 when applied at the checkout:
💡 To note:
You may need to create multiple discount codes if ticket prices vary across your entries.
Customers without the code will pay the regular group ticket price and won’t be able to access the offer.
When promoting the offer, consider specifying the ticket name it applies to.
Pre-discounted group ticket option
You may wish to add a group ticket that is already discounted to the offer amount.
