So today a few of us were discussing prices to attend parties etc and how some people can host successful parties without charging guests an arm and a leg. So went over to England forums and found most had similar prices and all quoted price list on the threads. Would this not be an idea over here? What's the general consensus on charging too |

"Proper parties or socials?"
Parties mainly but costs are sometimes part of big meet and greets so just over all, and what is the opinion on turning a profit |

A profit should never be made.
And personally I'd never pay for a social. I can go drinking with my real mates without being charged. |

Remember hearing a story some years back about this huge m&g done on another site. Rented out the function room dj spot prizes the whole shebang. Anyways the manager showed up looking for the organisers to get the cash. He had done a runner with all the money that was handed over  |

Jesus that's crazy, I understand why some people charge as for big venues the costs are exuberant |

As hosts we do charge for private party's but never profit from them if anything it's at a loss, we try and cover the private rental of a house nothing more but then no shows leave people missing out on a party and more costs for the host to have to pay. We've also paid a cover charge and don't mind doing so. |

If your gona go to the effort of arranging entertainment and a venue of course there's gona be a charge who in there right mind is gona pay for everything outa there own pocket unless you've got a few quid because I'm sure it ain't cheap lol but if it's just a social meet up in a local place without having costs to yourself then of course it's gona be free |

We've always tried to hold them in free places but not always possible
If I spend two months of my time constantly replying to texts and emails and arranging a social, I'm fucked if I'm going to be stung with the bill aswell, so if the venue charges - then we charge, if the venue doesn't, then we don't, simple! |

I don't see an issue with charging if venue hire, entertainment etc is being provided. You wouldn't go to a night club without paying a door charge. can never understand though why at some of these things men get charged more than women. |

If a fee was charged, other than a nominal cover charge, I'd expect to see where it had been spent. |

I don't think there's anything wrong with asking for money for having organised an event, be it a party, a social or whatever you want to call it. If a profit is hoped for I think it would have to be a very well organised event. I've been to a few different events and have been fairly disappointed with all but one - ironically one that was just covering costs.
The best nights are usually put on by those who are interested in putting on a good night and not in turning a quick profit.

I understand completely loli, I suppose it's more aimed at the parties especially ones held in people's own homes, you and laid do amazing jobs and I know you'd only charge if you had to, I hope to someday get up and see how ye pros do it  |

People have profited from private parties and at socials thankfully many of the socials we have attended have been run by genuine people not out for a payday. If your running a club etc yes you should profit as that is a business. To reply to another poster men are charged more so I doesn't turn into a sausage fest. |

Why shouldn't a profit be made? If someone is spending a lot of their spare time organising fun for themselves & others then surely they deserve a few bob for their time no? |

They're not a club or business. If they want a profit - start one of these. Don't disguise it as "for the good of the swinging community " |

One only has to read the The Venue - no shows thread where people said they'd go and didn't... others wanted to go but couldn't as places were all taken!!
Something, anything, that would cut down on the numbers of no shows would certainly be a good thing!!
Why should the The Venue organisers be expected to carry the costs etc while those attending don't.. until the evening they don't even know how many will turn up, if any!!
They can't say the cost is €200, 20 people coming so it is €10 each! Only 10 or 12 might show... they have to carry the no shows costs... Why should they be expected to??? |

Always the risk of hosting unfortunately and the no shows don't even consider the fact that the host is out money, food etc also is wasted money if your catering like we do at our party's...downright rude not to let people know in good time |

Agreed Lim. Not everyone is as trustworthy as others. Only a few people in Ireland we would prepay and that's because of reputation |

We have always run our socials as free events, but our play parties are generally pay events. The reason is we hold our socials in free venues, and the parties are in rented apartments. We haven't ever made a profit. Having said that there is nothing wrong with making a profit if that is the intention. As long as you are up front about the costs and the attendees decide if it's a price worth paying. If you don't like the price then don't go. Simple. H |

But when you look at a the profit thing you see ridiculous pricing for instance a girl is free but couples and guys pay 50, that's a massive jump |

If there is a cost involved to hire a venue, then ges a charge should be asked for to cover the ammount involved.
Given that the organisers may have to hire entertainment , then this should be a factor in the charge. |

We did a social or two in the past, did one in a venue that charged. We didn't ask a penny of those that showed up. The amount of no shows, and we are talking well known profiles as well as lesser known, would have had us at a loss any way.
That was the last social we will be arranging. People who do a no show without as much as a mail to any sort of event really show complete disrespect for not only the organizers but those who didn't get to go due to spaces being gone.
In saying that we have a full list of no shows kept for any event we might decide to hold in the future.

U have to agree people organising events invest a lot of time and effort in them on so its a free venue and there is no charge that's a win for every one at those I have no problem donating to a collection for a charity.
A venue that is charging plus a band and some do party bags on entry spots for best out fit and such yes a cover charge is required whether they make a profit or not is up to them
At these I usually see a charge per head which is fair and just
A club that's a business they need single fems and cpld to attend so they are going to reward these groups to attract them, single guys are going to show up no problem so they are going to use the door fee to try regulate the numbers and turn a profit basic economics
What I don't get is parties charging guys more than fems or cpls as they have control of guest list and can regulate nos

no matter what way you look at this .. if your holding a party and charging in order to cover costs and make a PROFIT then it is a form of prostitution . I do not think anyone would have an issue with a tenner per person type of thing to cover the rent of an apartment , after all someones gotta organise it and etc . What irritates the fuck out of me is people who assume everything will be laid on for them at no cost to anyone at all . If i wanted to hold a party , I would just assume the cost of it was coming out of my own pocket and not be profiteering from it . Make no mistake , if you hold parties with the idea of making a tidy profit for yourself them you are a pimp . |

Ya i don't understand why it's not a per person cost at parties as you are in control of the guest list as cj said, i just wanted to get opinions etc because it seems in Ireland we aren't open about having a cost |

Covering costs is one thing, making a profit is another.
There are a small few who seem to spend all their time organising paid events. In that case they should be considered a business providing a service and all that goes with that needs to be provided.
I don't believe that you can marry being a member looking for fun with making money from the other members.
That all said, there appears to be a clear demand for such events so fair play to people organising same as we know all too well the headaches concerned. Kudos especially to those who manage to do these for no charge of a contribution to charity. |

"Ya i don't understand why it's not a per person cost at parties as you are in control of the guest list as cj said, i just wanted to get opinions etc because it seems in Ireland we aren't open about having a cost"
It often is a per person cost at parties.
We are always open and honest about the costs involved, and (as far as I can remember) other people's parties we have attended have been the same.

"U have to agree people organising events invest a lot of time and effort in them on so its a free venue and there is no charge that's a win for every one at those I have no problem donating to a collection for a charity.
A venue that is charging plus a band and some do party bags on entry spots for best out fit and such yes a cover charge is required whether they make a profit or not is up to them
At these I usually see a charge per head which is fair and just
A club that's a business they need single fems and cpld to attend so they are going to reward these groups to attract them, single guys are going to show up no problem so they are going to use the door fee to try regulate the numbers and turn a profit basic economics
What I don't get is parties charging guys more than fems or cpls as they have control of guest list and can regulate nos
"
I'd agree with all that |

We regularly host parties in our home and are completely up front that we charge. We are also completely honest in what the charge is for.
* Dinner (a choice of main course)
* Finger food buffet (hot and cold)through the night.
* Soft drinks/ tea and coffee along with a selection of alcoholic beverages.
* A nights accommodation.
* A full breakfast.
All our food is cooked fresh and home made, we also cater for vegetarians, celiac, and other dietary requirements.
Then we have the clean up of sheets and towels (quite a number of towels ) And the cost of regularly replacing these, along with broken delph and glasses, the time spent shopping cooking and mailing....
We charge twenty euro a head and if anyone knows where they can get dinner, drinks bed and breakfast for this well do share.
We feel if you do not want to pay then don't come, we could not run parties as frequently as we do if we didn't charge, to date no one attending has felt hard done by with our charge and we are sure if they do they will be quick to comment here.
We have attended many parties and with a very rare exception there has been a charge, we have always expected to pay and we have no issue in doing so.
As for turning a profit, that's about as likely as a lotto win.

We can say that celtics parties are amazing in every way including value! Every time we have been we've had a beautiful home cooked meal in their spotless home and all soft drinks provided... And then there's the sex |

I have no problem paying to go to a party or a social and thankfully those I have attended have been worth every cent. As long as it's in keeping with 'the norms' as I don't want to feel ripped off especially after travel and accommodation expenses that us country bumpkins have to fork out.
I do however have a problem with coughing up money before an event, it's a personal choice and something I won't do as I've been made all to aware over the years of taking the money and run scams.
If it's a M&G then a private area is a must, some music and although I don't go to M&G's for the food, it is a lovely touch that always goes down well and you know your money is well spent and feel effort has gone into it. Just don't ask me to pay to meet a few out in a pub.
Celtics are well known for their hospitality and all they do in making sure all their guest have a great time. I don't envy the hard work they put into their nights and I'm looking forward to going to their next event.  |

I was glad to hear from Celtics as they are somewhat legendary for there parties, it's great to see that the money isn't important there and how well it appears they treat there guests but I've heard of people setting crazy high prices for parties too and there's no way the overheads came even close to the takings from the night |

What was the charge for the big party at the start of 2014 in south dublin - 40e a head, so 80 a couple? That must have had around 60 couples in attendance so you can see why people felt some profiteering was going on (any the commercial rental was available for all to see and wouldnt have cost 1/2 of the total take). A lot of younger couples also expressed that it was beyond their budget by the time travel and hotels were factored in. A brave attempt at something different tho.
A private rental in the back of nowhere (hello athlone!) shouldnt cost more than 20/30e per couple if its just rental and the price of soft drinks n coffee being covered. Even 'food' is a bit of a distraction as a few ASDA pizzas dont break the bank.
I imagine the real problem is the 'swinger maths' of no-shows - confirm 10 couples and 6 will show up. Since nobody pays in advance the 6 have to cover the budget for the ten. |

"m&g no charge
party charge if situation warrants eg venue etc "
Yup that'd be my views and only enough to cover venue cost, if a small loss was taken I'd not mind because the the fun had would make up for it |

So general view is if there are high overheads than a reasonable fee is understandable as no one is looking to pay off their mortgage or credit card etc, I just wanted to find out the general consensus as I've got the bug for hosting now and want to look at parties and larger events |

I would not dream of charging fellow swingers to attend a party in my home.
In the past, we mutaly agreed that everyone attending would bring a bottle of their choice.
Any food was happily supplied by myself and my swinging partner at that particular time.
It was a swinging party, of course sheets and towels had to be cleaned afterwards, exactly in the same way had it been a group of civvie friends or family visiting.
The only time I charged , was whilst organising a party in rented accomodation, then the full cost , including food and drink was split equaly by everyone attending. |

Make sure your privacy is locked down. Id even suggest using a hired car when attending events. Sadly the experience of one party organiser here was that once you upset people (by turning them away) they will stop at nothing to personally attack you and ruin your private life.
What happened to that lass who organised the big yearly parties was a f**king travesty. |

I'd see a big distinction between buying a drink for a girl, or being a site supporters, or paying your way into a party, and paying for sex.
If you buy a drink you are paying a bar for a drink. If you are buying a site supporters pass then your transaction is with fab. If you are paying in to a party you are paying the organiser for the venue hire and food etc.
None of these things gaurentee sex. That is not what is being bought.
Unless you are giving a girl cash explicitly for sex then I don't see an issue.
If you follow your argument you could say buying aftershave is buying sex, or buying makeup is buying sex, or anything that might make you more attractive to the opposite sex. |

"I don't see an issue with charging if venue hire, entertainment etc is being provided. You wouldn't go to a night club without paying a door charge. can never understand though why at some of these things men get charged more than women.
Cause men will always pay for sex and the people charging know it, simples.....
Bizarro Luke?
I'm a man, I wouldn't pay for sex
Well I'm sorry King_Lim(sincerely), you have by paying to be a site supporter......and have you never bought a drink or dinner for a lady in the hope?
Guys will always pay in some way
Oh I suppose I get you know but like buying a girl you are with a drink or bringing her for dinner seems far removed from paying for sex but l can see you could argue the point alright
Ah yeah, it's totally. Not like buying direct from the source, haha but you I'm just saying we'd go that extra little for the hope, ha
I suppose a lad will alright, but still fail to understand why parties charge massive prices for single guys, I don't see the need."
Because they can Lim. You may not be prepared to pay but some other guy will. |

you say men will always pay for sex. maybe your speaking from experience.
I've never paid for sex...and as for buying drinks or dinner in the hope of getting sex is crap. I've bought lots of people food and drink and plenty of people have done the same for me without sex ever been on the agenda..

Yeah still annoys me a bit too but I suppose it could be to out the wierdos, haha. But you know yourself there's always gonna be more single males than females at these things so they'll make more. Mind you maybe if there's less single ladies THEY should be paying more.....!? |

Tricks of the trade, although it seems the majority of event organizers are decent folk and aren't out to screw you over but there's always the odd few |

The only reason we stated organising parties and socials is that we wanted to go to them and noone else was doing it. It's mostly a headache we could do without. |
