Keep in mind that the age and socioeconomic group of your top attendees, the type of food, drinks, and entertainment your event features, and the mission of your event (major fundraiser, kitty funds, primarily social, etc.) They all play a role in determining how much your event ticket should cost. To help you decide how much to charge for your next event, you can look at the following three models.

1. If you are planning a gala gala at an exclusive venue with live entertainment, dinner, open bar and a celebrity guest or guests, statistics show that within a price range of $ 15 to $ 300, most of the Charity attendees are willing to pay between $ 100 and $ 150 per person. Even in today’s economy, most people are comfortable paying this money, but charities should remember that these events are some of the biggest fundraisers. So, set your price at the higher end of the range if you are hosting such an enjoyable social event. Event attendees expect a higher entry price for Class A venues.

2. If you’re planning an exclusive cocktail at a popular venue with past hors d’oeuvres, a DJ, and an open bar, statistics show that most people would prefer a $ 75 ticket to the event. However, the range starts at $ 50 and goes up to $ 100. Due to this wide range, your charity should lean towards profitability in its prices. In general, event attendees are willing to pay higher ticket prices for a charity event, because they know that higher profitability correlates with increased donations to their charity’s cause.

3. If you’re planning a casual cocktail party for an hour-long open bar after-work event, statistics show that ticket prices range from $ 15 to $ 50, with a preferred charge of $ 25. However, as In previous models, charities should be inclined to price higher for profitability.

According to a recent market research report, charities should also consider whether they want to develop a growing base of attendees for their events. If so, a great idea would be to offer discounted tickets to young professionals, especially through online ticketing services. By offering discounted tickets to event attendees under the age of 30, you’re covering their costs, filling seats, and indoctrinating a new generation of philanthropists in the excitement of charitable giving. Many events have succeeded quite successfully. But most of all, keep in mind that the majority of the proceeds from an event must be donated to the selected constituency. If people know they are donating to the cause and not the organization, they are more likely to attend your charity’s next event as well.
