Subject: Carlton Party Hire / Tables.. Author: FB [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 01:08:44 07/28/01 Sat What is happening in terms of carlton.. we know that they can give us cheap deals, but what can we do to sweeten it for them (and in turn cheapen it for us :P) Can we tell them that they can have exclusive table hireage rights for all of our events?

Author: Zues [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 03:31:04 07/28/01 Sat Ok swat are you still helping out on this? i dont know if skiv is or not but he should anyway we should take a visit over there sometime this week and see what we can come up with ok, I agree we need to save as much as possible so we will offer him some exclusivity [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Carlton Party Hire / Tables.. Author: Mirage [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:32:38 07/28/01 Sat Offer them exclusivity at the next event as well as this one and advertising on the website as a sponsor. Offer the guy a free ticket to the event. Tell him that if he can commit to a cheap price, we can even advertise his logo on our brochure next to the organisers of the event (spinning G) We want to be able to sit 800 gamers in there. If you can get the tables at a total of $2500, I am going to drop ticket price to $40 each + booking fee. A much better price. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Carlton Party Hire / Tables.. Author: Ard Righ [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 17:05:20 07/28/01 Sat Yeah, the best thing to offer the guy in terms of trying to sweeten the deal is advertising. Carlton Party Hire isn't exactly the sort of thing that would get this much exposure for that cheap very often :) [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Carlton Party Hire / Tables.. Author: Mirage [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11:12:33 07/31/01 Tue We need an agreement with Carlton Party Hire this week so that next week we know what price the tickets are. Who is doing this? At least give us the contact of the person you talked to there - who played games and said 3 days for the price of one? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Carlton Party Hire / Tables.. Author: swat [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 18:48:05 08/01/01 Wed hmmm i was the one who talked to the guy before.... and i dnt think he can go any lower.. when i explained what we wwere doing he was real good yto us.. i garantee hes not holding out on us.... i think 2500 is the fianllly cost on tables... if zues wants to get together w/ me well keep looking at alternatives, but realistically i wouldnt hold my breath...

[> Subject: Re: Carlton Party Hire / Tables.. Author: Mirage [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 22:44:28 08/01/01 Wed FB: I like you style. My point exactly. I agree that $2500 is a more than fair price. So lets get them onboard and signed up. We know the dates...book enough tables to seat 800 gamers. We can always cancel on some tables closer to the date right? Swat and FB. I am happy to come and talk to the guy if you arrange a weekday daytime meeting with us all. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
