Choose With a code (buyers type it in) or Automatically (it comes off by itself, such as £5 off 4 or more tickets), set a percentage or fixed amount, add any conditions like dates or a usage limit, and click Create discount. Discounts are a lovely way to thank loyal families, fill seats on a quieter night, or encourage bigger group bookings. Stage Stubs gives you two kinds. A discount **with a code** is one buyers type in at checkout, such as CAST10 for the cast's families. An **automatic** discount comes off all by itself when an order qualifies, such as £5 off when you buy 4 or more tickets, so families don't need to remember a code at all. ### Creating a discount 1. Go to **My Events** and click **View** next to your event. 2. Open the **Discounts** tab and click **New discount**. 3. Under "How do buyers get it?", choose **With a code** or **Automatically**. For a code, type your own (at least 3 letters, numbers or dashes; capitals don't matter) or click **Generate**. For an automatic discount, give it a **Name buyers see**, like "Family ticket offer". 4. Under "How much off?", choose **Percentage** (taken off every ticket) or **Fixed amount** (taken off the order's ticket total once). 5. Add any **Conditions** you'd like. They're all optional: a **Minimum tickets per order** (perfect for family deals), **Start and end dates** (great for early-bird offers), or **Limit the number of uses** (say, the first 50 orders). 6. Check the summary under **Your discount**, which explains your discount in plain words with an example, then click **Create discount**. ![Creating a discount: 15% off every ticket, given With a code, using the code FRIENDS15](https://help.stagestubs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Untitled-Oct-29-2026-02-15-22-9595-AM.png?width=670&height=1064&name=Untitled-Oct-29-2026-02-15-22-9595-AM.png) ![The Your discount summary, which explains who gets the discount and shows an example of what buyers pay](https://help.stagestubs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Untitled-Oct-29-2026-02-16-31-5233-AM.png?width=670&height=1155&name=Untitled-Oct-29-2026-02-16-31-5233-AM.png) ### What families will see To use a code, buyers click **Have a discount code?** at checkout, type it in and click **Apply**. Automatic discounts come off by themselves, and buyers who are close to qualifying get a friendly nudge, like "Add 2 more tickets to get £5 off". Each order gets one discount. If an order qualifies for more than one, the buyer automatically gets whichever saves them most. ### Changing or deleting a discount Click a discount, then **Edit discount**, make your changes and click **Save changes**. Once a discount has been used, you can still change its conditions and dates, but not how much it takes off. Discounts that haven't been used yet can be removed with **Delete discount**. Each discount shows whether it's **Active**, **Scheduled**, **Ended** or **Used up**, and you can see exactly which orders used it. ### Good to know Discounts are for paid events only, and they don't apply to merchandise. The booking fee is worked out on the discounted price, so buyers save on the fee too. ### Common questions **Can buyers use two discounts?** No, one per order: whichever saves them most. **Can I limit how many people use a code?** Yes, with Limit the number of uses. **Do discounts work on free events?** No, paid events only. **Related guides:** [Sharing your event](https://help.stagestubs.com/en/sharing-your-event?hsLang=en) · [Creating a paid event](https://help.stagestubs.com/en/event-types-creating-a-paid-event?hsLang=en) Need a hand?
