[MR] A suggestion - was: Re: The importance of pre-reg

[Lady Rhiannon of Berra]

What about events with site caps?  If we resort to this email idea; do
those folks get in while those who don't send the email and may
possibly drive for a long way and get turned away? And then if some of
those folks don't show up, folks are turned away unnecessarily.

Just a thought.

The "problem" of accepting payment before hand need not be done via PayPal (whom I have had unfortunate dealings with). http://feastoftheunicorn.com/ This is the website for information about Feast of the Unicorn that the Canton of Cyddlain Downs' webminister did. As you can see, it has a place to pre-register; this is interactive to the point of calculating and noting that a registration was done. Only thing that is needed to do is print out the form and send the check or money order. Most of the time the checks aren't cashed until after the event. If someone cancels a registration, send back or tear up the check (granted paperwork is involved, but what is a little paperwork to make certain the event runs smoothly?). You could also say "no refunds after x" (x= a suitable date when refunds would be infeasable).
