    "Open to The Public" can be good in that it subtly implies that the event is one that would normally be more exclusive.

    "Complimentary" is so much more professional than "free".

    You can use "no-fee admission" or "limited no-fee admission".

    And if it sounds cheap to your boss, it doesn't mean that it sounds cheap to your customers.

    Take a copy of "Tested advertising methods" by John Caples at any local bookstore. You won't have similar questions after reading this book.

    I understand the cheap thing...you could ask for a donation of food for the local food bank.

    Every year my city celebrates snow fest and the admission is a donation to the food bank or SPCA. Works like a charm!

    You'll get more people by 'charging' ten dollars but 'waiving the fee' if people show you something everyone has or can get that's related to your business. Some use competitor's ads as admission.
    Ec's fine with the free admission though, I'm in yo...

    I'd take a stand on this one with your boss, because every business book or report you read which talks about the top attention getting words, the word Free is always either number one or number two. So, I'd say your boss should do his or her homework before letting his own personal feelings sabotage your resutls.

    Free admission sounds fine so far as I am concerned. We have a tendency to use long words to impart a spurious sense of dignity, and when we do this we often get the meanings wrong. Simple language is always better.

    You can use the term "Get into the Loop" as in a person can ask his friends to join him/her. That would give very good mileage to whatever your plan will be..

    Print the tickets with a price tag of €2000 but then print the words "VIP Complimentary Ticket" OVER that price, and hand such tickets to everyone.
