I wish you had an option for prices to increase automatically after a certain date. This would allow “early bird” or “late registration” prices to kick in automatically as the date of the available bookable product approached.

Until this lands in core, it can be done with a free plugin. Disclosure: we make it.
TierStep (free on WordPress.org, no paid version) sets prices by cumulative units sold on one product, e.g. first 500 at $20, next 1,500 at $30, next 1,500 at $40, then $50. It works with simple and variable products, shows how many are left at the current price, and holds units at checkout so two buyers can’t both get the last cheap tickets.

Yes, why is such a simple option not possible? Instead of a discount, you sometimes need a surcharge for whatever reason. Late registration is a good example.
I tried simply using negative (percentage) discount, but the plugin will create completely erratic prices with this setting. 😀 For example, 300€ – 10% discount (should be: + 10% surcharge) will result in 3300€ or something like this.
