Why not get a Square!

I’d pay $5 and be even happier if it went to charity

Definitely you guys should charge 5 or 10 dolares, people appreciate and give more credit to pay events. Besides, the money is ultimately going to charity…

Hi Simon,

Yep, it’s very similar to Pecha Kucha with a few differences. Ignite also has a more varied audience with less of a focus on architecture, etc.

Come along and see what you think!

Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

In the end it became too complicated to charge electronically, what with the tax implications etc, but we’ll look into this for a future event.

Not everyone is diligent and books ahead. Not everyone will show up even if they’ve paid a small amount ahead of time. And $1300 is not a particularly huge amount of money to carry around, just have the one of the sponsors offer to underwrite the donations in case of theft and insist on *only* taking notes so the money isn’t bulky.

For sure, nobody will qualm about paying $5, especially if it’s going to a good cause.

I would certainly pay it, and for most people $5 or $10 would not be a barrier. Make sure it continues to be clearly branded ‘not for profit’, i.e. charity is good!

Bring on more Ignites!!

Yes you should charge $10. People appreciate an event when they have paid and will commit to go. $10 is the minimum for Moshtix which gives you another distribution channel. Also you can offer 2 for 1 and get the same money as before.
