Let me know what you think on this.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">======================</div><div class="">Hi All,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">As you have been able to read in our blog around the Covid19 situation, we have the intention to start the ticket sales in December. As for every event, the ticket price and procedures have been a hot topic for discussion. To keep this as open as possible, we would like to get input from the orga (and other interested people) on the ticket pricing. This is also an agenda item on the orga meeting on Saturday, but we’re sure that this will be a heavily discussed topic on the mailinglist as well.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I have added three screenshots of the highlevel budget part with a different ticket pricing to show what this does to the income/expenses. The total expected expenses (including 20% unforeseen) are a bit over 1.2 million euros. This is based on the expenses from previous events with an expected increase and costs that we already know (e.g the terrain). Assuming we can organise the event due to Covid19, there will be additional costs due to the situation (e.g the insurance price is 2x).</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Current thoughts with the ticket sales procedure is as follows:</div><div class="">- Start the sales with price x (and some additional supporter/bussiness tickets)</div><div class="">- Increase the price over time (e.g early bird is less than one 10 days for the event)</div><div class="">- As usual have the possibility to make special arrangements for attendees that need help with this</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The big question here is: “What should the ticket price be?”. As you can see from the screenshots, an avarage ticket price (e.g a child ticket will be cheaper) of 290 euro with 3200 visitors is needed to be barely cashflow positive, but this will leave very little room for unforeseen costs. Given the board of IFCAT is personally liable for this, we need to come up with a ticket price higher than this. The other screenshots show an option with a higher price.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">We hope that the community can give their opinion on this topic. Feel free to respond on the mailinglist or during the Orga mumble on Saturday. Thanks in advance!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><br class=""><br class=""><div class="">Met vriendelijke groeten / Best regards,<br class="">Attilla de Groot | +31 6 45788080<br class="">Treasurer IFCAT | Project lead MCH2021<br class=""><br class=""><img apple-inline="yes" id="4C1E1831-BA91-4729-8CEB-B34CC1D71FEB" src="cid:A4DB2F20-CA7C-4368-A40D-5352D1AA20AC" class=""><img apple-inline="yes" id="8BFCE355-8D4C-4983-9E23-DCD2FA6C9EA8" src="cid:CB069C95-857A-4C23-9DB2-14C746B6BBE3" class=""><img apple-inline="yes" id="95D4E163-23DD-4666-BDD5-DC4138985892" src="cid:218242B8-A450-4BCB-A67C-C37A5E61CB4E" class=""></div><br class=""></body></html>
