Before you book
- Say the expected price per person before asking who is in - “about £45 plus fees” changes who says yes.
- Set a decision deadline earlier than the on-sale time, not the same day.
- Say who is buying and that you are only buying for confirmed people.
- Say whether money is needed before or after, and be clear that a place is not held without it.
After you book
- Put the confirmed date, meeting point and time somewhere that stays current.
- Record who paid and split it between the people actually going, not the original chat.
- Keep transport and ticket details on the event rather than re-sending screenshots.
- Agree what happens if someone drops out - resell, absorb or the ticket is theirs.
