Designing your tickets is one of the most essential steps in building a successful event. Whether you're creating a yoga retreat, breathwork immersion, meditation workshop, kirtan concert, or multi-day festival, your ticket structure shapes how your attendees understand — and move toward — your offering.
BrightStar gives you a flexible, intuitive way to create Early Bird tickets, VIP passes, donation-based options, tiered pricing, sliding scale tickets, and more — all in a beautifully organized flow designed for conscious creators.
This guide walks you through Step 4 — Tickets in the BrightStar event creation process.

- Scholarship & Donation Tiers
To manage or create categories, click the filter icon next to "Ticket Types."

1. Clear Naming Creates Ease
The fewer questions buyers have, the smoother the checkout flow.
2. Categories Reduce Cognitive Load
Separation creates calm — essential for events with meals, lodging, or multi-day options.
3. Time-Sensitive Tiers Create Momentum
Early Bird tiers help build energy and financial grounding early in your sales cycle.
4. Keep Your Audience in Mind
Conscious communities often appreciate:
- donation tiers
- community supporter pricing
- pay-it-forward options
- zero-barrier scholarship tickets
These deepen resonance and increase attendance.
Every ticket is more than a purchase — it's an opening, a doorway into presence.
When you create your ticket structure clearly and lovingly, those meant to attend your offering feel it immediately. Your event begins long before anyone arrives; it begins here, with the care you bring to each step.
