I'm creating a custom price set for an event, where there are different fees for members, non-members, and exhibitors using radio buttons.  I set two different prices (early and late registration), but when the page is actually displayed, there is a third "none" option.  Why is that there, and how do I get rid of it?  I would like to have that options disappear if possible.

Thanks.

OK, I've changed the way I'm doing this, but I still have some questions.

1)  Here are the registration fees I need to set up:
Attendees
Members $400
Non-Members - $450

For attendees, these are early bird prices, but I figured I'd just put up a note saying that as of a certain date the cost will go up, and then change the prices on that date.

Exhibitors
Members - $1000
Non-members - $1200

It seems logical to use a Price Set, where I have one price field for Attendees and one for Exhibitors.  So if I understand correctly, I have to leave the "none" field there since a person can only be one or the other?  Is there a better way to do what I need to do?

2) For exhibitors, the registration fee is only for the booth and one person.  For any additional people that work the booth, there is a $50 charge.  How can I set it up to charge that additional fee?  Do I have to create a separate fee for each combination of additional people (i.e. $1050 for exhibitor plus one person, $1050 for exhibitor plus 2 people, etc.)?  Or is there a more flexible way to do it?

Thanks.

Cool, that works well for the attendees.  That brings up another question from my client.  Since I have Attendee and Exhibitor in the same price field, there is only one heading.  She would like to have an "Attendee" title above the two Attendee options and an "Exhibitor" title above the Exhibitor options.  At the same time, she doesn't want the "none" option, but the only way to get rid of that is to make the field required, and if I have them in two separate price sets to provide the titles,  I can't make them required since they are mutually exclusive.  Is there a way I can do what I need?  The only way I can see to do this is to have separate price sets and then use hook_form_alter() in a module to hide the "none" option.

Thanks.

Each of the fee options has a unique id assigned to it. You could get creative with your CSS and create a gap between the fees, and maybe insert a graphic as your header text (background image).

I wouldn't recommend using two fee sets without the "none" option -- the point of the none option is that if the field is not required, someone could inadvertently select an option and then get stuck. They need the option of unselecting.
