Effective Unitl If there is a range of dates during which you want the fee to be applied, enter a start and ending date.

  • If a start date is provided but no end date, then the fee applies after the start date forever
  • If an end date is provided but no start date, then the fee applies from now until the end date is reached
Base Price Between Ordinarily, the fee will apply to any item in the shopping cart, regardless of price. however, if you want the fee to only apply to tickets (or donations or passes) that have a base price valued between $x.xx and $y.yy, then enter the range of prices. This allows you to structure non-refundable box office fees to vary, based on the price of the item.

Note: the price that is checked is the base price and all taxes, fees and discounts are ignored when evaluating if the fee is valid or not.
