When creating a new event, there will a section that asks if you want to create a cover charge.

* You can change these if you like.
* Making the fields blank will still create the fee behind the scenes with the pre-populated default values.

* **Display Order** is the order in which options will be displayed within their groups on the registration form.
* Use **Fee** if there is an upcharge for an option.
