In-person events have additional ticket costs beyond membership to cover venue, food, beverages, service charges, and instructor fees when applicable and more. Some events operate on a “pay your own way” basis, where attendees cover their own meals or drinks directly at the venue.
This approach allows for greater flexibility and inclusivity, ensuring that members can choose from venue options that best suit their preferences and budgets. It also helps us host more frequent, high-quality gatherings without limiting attendance due to set ticket prices.
We implement a modest ticket fee ($10-$70) to ensure committed attendance and create the best possible experience for all members. This practice has proven successful in maintaining high attendance rates and meaningful connections at our events as in the past, we observed high no-show rates at free events, which was disappointing for many attendees. By charging a small ticket fee, we have significantly reduced the no-show rates, ensuring a better turnout and a more valuable experience for everyone involved.
Tickets typically range from $10 to $70 depending on the event type or venue.
