    +Ticket pricing is not a math problem. It is a psychology problem with math consequences. Every pricing decision sends a signal to your audience about what kind of event they are walking into, and the wrong signal will either leave money on the table or scare away the crowd you need.

    +## The tiered ladder
    +
    +Standard ticket pricing for our events sits in a $20-40 range. For headliner shows, that range stretches to $29-70 with multiple tiers. The ladder always moves in $5 increments because round numbers with clean jumps feel predictable and fair to buyers. A jump from $25 to $30 feels like a natural step. A jump from $25 to $33 feels arbitrary.
