If you would like to account for internal expenses when pricing your tickets on PromoTix (for example, credit card processing, venue restoration fees, etc.), then you can factor in these expenses when deciding on your ticket prices. For example:
- Your planned "take home" amount: $10.00
- Venue restoration fee: $2.00
- Your ticket price on PromoTix: $12.00
When you run a report at the end of your event, you can add up to three expenses into your PromoTix reports in order to separate these expenses from your actual "take home" amount. This tutorial will show you how.

On this screen, you can add up to three internal expenses to factor in to your report:
