Hi Jacinta, 1) From each club I need an update of ticket sales by THIS Friday. I'll then follow this up next week before Wednesday. PRSC has confirmed ticket sales of 16-will give you another update Friday. 2) I also want to know the likelihood of the clubs selling tickets next week. If not likely, I need all the money, sign up sheets and left over tickets returned to me by Friday arvo. I doubt we will sell more tickets to the public (non-members) after the end of this week as we have been promoting that Ignite ticket sales through us will cease on Friday. However, committee members are a bit slow in buying tickets even though a few are definitely coming. Therefore, can we hand money/sign up sheets and remaining tickets to you next week sometime? We're doing our best to promote the ball-I've been talking about it in every one of my classes and reminder emails have been going out to all our members fairly regularly. Being honest those attending the ball are predominantly engineering students and it is hard to convince business students of a purpose to mingle and spend a night with students they don't know so I think this is a contributing factor to our low ticket sales. In addition, everyone is complaining they're broke so that's no helping things-as we mentioned in our meeting last week. However, we're staying positive and will do as best we can!

From: jacintakingdon@xxxxxxxxx To: igniteball@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Heya, Just spoke to Joseph. Basically, we're extremely unlikely to sell 600 tickets, we'd be pushing 450-500 at this stage unless sales pick up this week. This means that the quote Challenge provided to us is void, and requires to be recosted. Joseph mentioned that this may be around a max of $10 extra per head. Ouch. I've played with numbers a bit, and the CEC should have enough back-up money to afford this extra cost with making any changes to what we had already planned. Fingers crossed. Joseph has also said we NEED to provide a final number by WEDNESDAY before the ball. He also said they'd cater for 20 over this number as a safety net. So, what I need from everyone is this: 1) From each club I need an update of ticket sales by THIS Friday. I'll then follow this up next week before Wednesday. 2) I also want to know the likelihood of the clubs selling tickets next week. If not likely, I need all the money, sign up sheets and left over tickets returned to me by Friday arvo. 3) SELL LOTS OF TICKETS! We've only got a week and a half left and over 200 tickets left! The more we can sell, the better off we will be. Please please please keep in contact with me. I need PRSC and EBC support with this. Jacinta
