How do I set tiered ticket prices on one shared-capacity sauna session?
Named ticket choices on one shared-capacity sauna session should all draw seats from the same room so price variety never clones capacity.
Named ticket choices on one shared-capacity sauna session—standard, child, concession, or private hire—should all draw seats from the same room so price variety never clones capacity. Peak pricing tiers on one offering are live today. Zettlor does not offer a dedicated Price options screen with named rows (Child, Concession, Private) that all draw from one seat pool.
What Zettlor does today
This behavior is partial. Live peak pricing attaches multiple pricing tiers (early-bird, peak, off-peak, last-minute) to one offering so checkout picks the tier active at booking time without three duplicate products. Shared-capacity seats and private vs buyout modes already handle how much of the room a claim takes. There is no confirmed desk path labelled Price options that adds rows named Child or Concession, each taking one seat from one pool, beside a Private row that takes the whole session.
Guest booking, cancel, and credit self-serve steps stay on Help. This page is for operators.
Desk path
For time-based tiers: Scheduling → Pricing on the offering; verify tiers in checkout preview. For shared seat caps: Scheduling → Configuration and seats per slot. For exclusive whole-room price: private offering or space buyout lock, not a cloned shared session. For guest-type rates without a native named-ticket panel: desk workaround is separate carefully scoped offerings or promo rules—confirm with ops before treating clones as one capacity.
Do not invent a settings path beyond what is listed here. If the product does not include a control, the desk workaround is the path.
Failure mode
Operators clone Adult, Child, and Private Hire as three offerings with three independent seat counts on one barrel. The room sells twenty tickets into eight benches. Others confuse peak time tiers with guest-type tickets and expect early-bird logic to create a child rate. Peak tiers shift price by sales window; they do not invent a second named ticket that burns one shared seat.
Operator example
Rytual wants one Friday evening shared sauna session to show Standard and Under-16 at different prices, plus a Private hire that closes the room. Time-of-day peak tier already covers Friday evening vs weekday morning on one offering. For named guest types, staff keep one shared-capacity seat count on the space, sell the primary shared price through that offering, and route under-16 discount through a tested promo or membership rule rather than a second seat pool. Private hire uses the private or buyout path so communal seats disappear for that window instead of living on a parallel calendar.
A sauna and cold plunge operator can copy the shape of this example without copying another brand's private pricing or customer lists.
How to do this
- Start from one sauna or cold plunge space with the real seat count—never one seat count per ticket name.
- Attach time-based pricing tiers on the shared offering when the job is early-bird, peak, or off-peak on the same product.
- Test checkout at different times so the correct tier applies without duplicate offerings.
- For whole-room private hire on the same inventory, use private session type or space buyout lock so shared seats cannot sell beside the exclusive claim.
- For child or concession rates, prefer a promo, membership, or customer-group path you can verify in checkout—do not clone a second shared offering with its own full seat cap.
- If you must publish two shared prices as separate offerings temporarily, put them on the same space and verify concurrent seat limits still cap the room; treat this as a temporary desk workaround until named ticket rows share one pool natively.
- Avoid three products that exist only to hold three prices for one session length and one seat pool.
Related questions
Is this the same as peak pricing?
No. Peak pricing changes the amount by sales or time window on one offering. Tiered ticket options are named choices at checkout—standard, child, private hire—that share capacity. Use the live peak-pricing guide for time windows; use this page for the shared-capacity + named-rate problem.
Can private hire sit on the same session as shared tickets?
Yes as inventory conflict: private or buyout removes shared sell-through for that window. Do not leave a communal price selling seats after an exclusive claim is paid.
Do member prices need their own ticket row?
Member pricing and included sessions live on the membership product, not as a duplicate shared-capacity offering. See included-sessions for credit spend at checkout.
