[MR] Pre-Reg Event Thoughts.

[Britni Newton]

I agree quite heartily with Sveva that looking for ways to bend the rules or 
squeak around them, would be a really good way of ticking off and alienating 
the site which sounds dreamy.  If that is their policy, it is the honorable 
thing to respect that policy.

That being said, their policy is not to have money charged as an access to 
the site *on site*.   Is there anyone who lives close to this site?  Is it 
thirty minutes out in the boonies or in a nice downtown area?   IF there is 
someone who lives close to the site, perhaps you can set up troll at their 
house, to take daily reservations for drop in people.

That way, money isn't being taken in at the site, and yet we maintain the 
flexibility to help the less than monetarily or scheduled fortunate.  I 
NEVER know, two weeks in advance if I'm able to attend events, because my 
work schedule doesn't come in before then.

If they aren't able to pre-reserve, then they have that lovely inconvenience 
of making a stop to pick up their site token on the way to the event.

I do agree though, that people SHOULD be able to pre-reserve, and just ask 
for a refund if they cannot attend.  It just may take a little while to flap 
off the ground.  Is the site fee large enough that a lack of enthusiastic 
pre-reg would sink the event?  And also, it would probably be a GOOD 
experiment to run with a larger event that is guaranteed high attendance.
