Guys we have a situation here......
OK, it is getting very close to the event weekend and we are having issues with ticket sales vs. cost of rally. Let me explain.
Vinny and I ran projections for this years rally off of last years ticket sales and were able to rent the campgrounds for the same price as last year, but unfortunately because of economy, stock market, end of the world later this year?, or just life in general ticket sales have been low so far. The event big or small is still going to take place, but cost may change. Again let me explain.
We have negotiated a discounted price for campground rental based on volume(space in campgrounds) and number of days/nights. This price does not change regardless of whether 2 people come or two hundred. If we do not get at least enough ticket sales to cover the rental of property then the pricing goes back to their regular rates of $22 per night for RV(power site) or $15 per night(no power) plus $5 for each addition person per site. And obviously they are not going to cook and feed us for those prices either. This is one of the two reasons we need ticket purchases ahead of time and the other is food purchase.
So here is where we are at and Vinny and I need everyone's input on this. We have had alot of folks wanting to pay at the time of the event because of work or home or expense which are all understandable but incompatable with the conditions we are working with. This is more a call to action than anything else. As a group we need to decide where this is giong. The event is designed to bring like-minded people together as often as possible. If we do not get enough ticket sales by early next week to cover the campground rental then the event will be held that weekend, but fees will have to be paid directly to the campground owner at the regular rates and individuals will have to bring their own food. We are just laying out the facts as they stand right now. Please post up with comments, opinions, or ideas as we are all in this together. Please feel free to PM Vinny or I if you do not want to post up publicly.
Thanks for your attention to this matter.
