Or, from the Manage Events list, find your event and click the Actions button on the right and select Advanced Options.

Registration Types and Prices
Pricing options
To set the registration prices and delegate types for your event, click the Pricing Options button. Event delegate types are created in Settings, for information on how to do this see the Event Delegate Types User Guide.
Select the registration/delegate types you want to include with your event and click Save.
Registration types
To create the registration type, click the New Reg Type button.
In the Registration Type field enter the name of the registration type, eg. Full, Saturday etc.
In the Description field add a brief description of what the registration includes.
In the Start Date Time and End Date Time fields, use the date/time picker to add these for your event. If you are running a multi-day event with multiple registration types then this is where you can restrict registrations to certain days. For example if it's a three day conference your start and end dates/times would be set accordingly for a full registration, however, for single day registration the start and end dates/times would only be for that one day.
In the Max Attendants field you can set the maximum number for that registration type. For example, if you wanted to restrict the number of student registrations to an event, you would enter the maximum number allowed here. This field DOES NOT set the maximum number of attendees for the event overall, only an individual registration type.
Set the number of CPD points
In the CPD Points field, enter the number of CPD points allocated to that registration type.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You must include CPD points with the event at the time of setup if you wish to write the CPD activity to the member's CPD log.
If the number of CPD points to be allocated to the event hasn't been finalised include an estimate of the points to be allocated, it can be amended at a later date. Event registrations are linked to the event setup and if no points are recorded when the CPD activity log is written the entry will have zero points applied.
Click the Save Reg Type button.
Registration prices
Now that you have created your registration types you can add prices. To do this, click the Actions button on the right and select Registration Prices.

Enter details of the function into the Function Name field.
In the Description field add a brief description of the function.
Enter the function start and end dates and times using the date picker.
