Half price

Hi! Can I leave out the hyphen? Thanks, Fulvio

1. I'll buy the beer because it is at half-price.

2. I'll buy the beer because it is at half price.

With "at" there should be no hyphen. However, you do not need the word "at". If you delete "at" then "half-price" should preferably (in my opinion) be hyphenated.
