[MR] Opinions about a possible PREREG ONLY event

[Marsaili Johnston]

I'd like to add that there would have to be a refund policy in place for those that do pre-register and then if 'life happens' can't make it.  Either for work or health reasons -- I missed Pennsic this year due a sudden severe illness.  Things do happen.
 
Just my opinion, but I don't think that this is going to be a popular idea.  There seem to be far more non-registered than pre-regs at events.

So there's this site near me that seems, to me, to be a potentially
marvelous site for a significant event. It's got tons of space, a
kitchen to die for, meeting rooms, pretty much everything you could
want.

Even better still, the administrator of the site is SCA-positive, so
we could almost certainly use it once jumping through some hoops.

There is one problem though, the site has an *absolute* rule that No
Money can be charged on site for access to the site. We can not allow
"Walk-up" payments. We might be allowed to have merchants, but they
would probably be *heavily* controlled in regards to what they could
sell.

We could do a Pre-registration only event, but that makes me wonder a
few things:

1. Would people be open to the concept of a Pre-Registration only
event? Obviously this would be made abundantly clear in the promotion
for the event

2. Would it matter if the event was local or Kingdom level or even a
Major Kingdom Level (like Crown or Coronation)?

Please let me know your opinons.

Thank you,

Gorm of Berra
