Hi all, I am out right now but wanted to reply in part....
If we have to cancel the show...Eventbrite, refunds their fees only if WE
cancel. If they do not come to the concert, the ticket is non refundable.
They are told that at the time of purchase. (If we want to do anything
different, we can discuss it as a group.Since the concert sales are not
sent to our checking account until 4 days after the event, the funds are
just credited back to the purchaser in the event we cancel the show.
We have 7 seats sold, we will hold 7 seats over on the area we sit. Wayne
will place seat markers on the seven seats . They can pick a different one
should they not want to sit there.
We know how many member and nonmember tickets we sell...we can add up what
we need to write a check for to pay the band...the AT DOOR ticket sales can
still be paid with cash. I guarantee that the band will want a ticket sold
in any fashion we can muster so they will appreciate getting a check and
having to cash the check should not cause a problem.
I think that was all the concerns but I will reread the email when I get
home.
Have a good night all.

Ursula - a couple of thoughts from sitting around over breakfast this
morning. (Idle hands are.....)
Saw on our local TV news we are 14 inches under our normal snowfall for
this year, so it made me think of the usual large snowfall we tend to get
in March, which lead me to this "bad" thought, which lead to another:
1. What happens with our Eventbrite presold tickets should we need
to suddenly cancel a performance due to bad weather or some other
unforeseen reason? Usually cancellations are made at nearly the last
minute. We would need a way to refund to the buyer. How does Eventbrite
handle something like this? As you know I do not believe we should issue
refunds for a show if it is actually performed. No attendance no refund,
tough break. But, if we cancel, the person has a right to a refund.
2. Do not think we should allow the presold ticket to be used at a
later concert. Just my comment.
I was planning on using Eventbrite one time just to see how well it works
for us. Is there a way we can put a link on our *website* that would
take a person to the Eventbrite website?
How would a purchase for a concert three or four months in the future be
handled by Eventbrite? It appears that the link you supplied earlier is
"concert specific" - example the Joe Mullins show. I am thinking we need
to make it easy for our customers to get to Eventbrite, and to get to the
specific concert they want. I suspect they have date specific listings
also.
As information for fellow Board Members, a few weeks ago I was nosing
around on the Eventbrite site looking for our listing and found numerous,
what I call little events, listed in the York = Red Lion area, so that
vehicle to sell tickets is being used by a lot of venues in our area. We
are just joining the list.
Just some thoughts, that's all. Now the idle hands must do some work.
