NEW for 2024:

🆕 Don't have t-shirts…yet. If I receive them on time, I'll send out a form to fill in.
🆕 Gaming comp. Last year was not that organized as I think we need people to sign people up upon checking in. Will have a think about. Just don't want the same people hogging the consoles for 2 hours. :) Console Games List



FAQ (updated as people ask questions):

Q: Can I just get a t-shirt if we meet out front?

A: Due to the large amount of people attending, we can't do this for this meetup. Better to request at other meetups.

Q: Soft drinks are great but can I have a beer/wine/tequila shot?

A: Yes, drinks can be purchased from the bar.

Q: Why is the meetup not free?

A: According to the Internet which is always right, if you don't charge for an event ~50% of attendees will not show/cancel. If a small fee is involved, this number drops to 20-30%. We've run events where they were free and there were a lot of cancellations/no shows. Not only does this screw everything up with organizing the venue but also makes it difficult to cater for food.

Q: Can family/partners/friends attend?

A: Each person can buy 2 tickets but everyone needs to have an OzBargain account that is 1 year or older.

Q: Are there any age limits?

A: There is no age limit.

Q: Do I have to be identified or can I attend anonymously?

A: Eventbrite captures your first and last name however you can put in any name to want. So first name Tight, Last Name Arse is fine. :)

Q: Will there be meetups in other cities?

A: Yes, see here.

Q: Where can I park?

A: QV, $12 after 5pm. The Strand next door?

Q: Can I pay at the door?

A: No, this is a cash-free event.

Q: Can I get a refund?

A: Yes.

Q: What time does the event go until?

A: The event officially ends at 8PM but the venue should be open until 10:30pm.

    Thanks Neil got two tickets. Do you need volunteers again?

    I think that signing people up to the games on checkin is a great idea. Maybe have the list sheets on a separate table.

    BTW Currently sitting in an Oslo airport waiting area to fly to Budapest but we will be back in time for the meet up. Glad I checked the site today.
