Early bird tickets reward people who buy first. In Eventify you set this up with tiered ticket pricing on a single ticket: each tier has its own name, price and sale window, and the price moves to the next tier automatically when a tier ends. It is part of the standard event ticketing setup, so there is nothing extra to switch on.
Every paid ticket has a Ticket Tier option on the Ticket Details step:
Ticket Tier only shows when Ticket Type is Paid. Free tickets have one sale window and no tiers.

A few rules keep tiers in order:
Total Tickets is shared by all tiers. It isn't split per tier.

The ticket's price is the price of the tier whose sale window includes the current date and time, in your event's time zone. When one tier ends, the next tier's price applies straight away. You don't need to edit the ticket.
The ticket goes on sale at the first tier's start and stops selling at the last tier's end.
On the ticket shop, buyers see the tiers listed on the ticket card. The current tier is highlighted with "Available until" and its end date, past tiers show "Available till", and future tiers show "Available from". The prices of the other tiers are struck through.
If you would rather show only the price that applies now, open the ticket's Settings step and switch on Show Only Active Ticket Price. To list the ticket as coming soon before the first tier opens, switch on Show ticket before sale starts. Both are explained in How to Use Advanced Ticket Settings.
They solve different problems:
How do I create early bird tickets?
Edit a paid ticket, choose Multiple Tier, name the first tier "Early Bird", give it a lower price and set its end date. The next tier's price starts automatically when the early-bird tier ends.
Can tiers overlap?
No. Each tier starts exactly when the one before it ends, so there are no overlaps and no gaps between tiers.
What happens when a tier ends?
The ticket switches to the next tier's price at that moment. After the last tier ends, the ticket is no longer on sale.
Can I use tiers on a free ticket?
No. Ticket Tier only appears when Ticket Type is Paid.
