I'm supporting a site where the event coordinator often adds a processing fee and an option to make an additional donation.  For these scenarios, she is forced to create a unique price field for each event fee and now has 50+ price fields to manage.

The organization has been very successful in offsetting costs and increasing fees using this approach. A custom field could indicate if there is an "Additional Donation" and/or "$2 surcharge" field.  I have seen some approaches using a patch from several years ago, but wonder if someone could suggest on a more elegant approach using a hook or API call.

 Yes.  I agree.  I looked at the price set api and could see a way to add 2 fields.  The price set api is a bit tricky though. Ideally they would use the regular price option and no price set. I have not used a hook before but wonder if that might be easier. Tgoughts?
