    $103.50 per person

    Insane out of pocket expenses but also value for Epicurean at the same time lol

    You have some extremely expensive tastes for an Ozbargainer…

    Don't you need to book well in advance for spots? I'd imagine it'd be pretty booked out near the end of the year

    • impostor on 28/10/2024 - 16:53

      Just checked on their online booking system for 20 guests - only 5.30pm and 8pm remain. But policy says 13+ guests require calling.

    • Fat Horny Ghost on 28/10/2024 - 16:59

      Yes you need book well in advance. I have spoken to them already and waiting for the group team to call me back.

    Haven't you already organised two events??

      He said in the Queensland one he's cancelling it

    • Fat Horny Ghost on 28/10/2024 - 16:59

      I'm cancelling the Brisbane one as only 4 registered. Needs a minimum of 20.

    Shut up and take my money

    This has got to be the most expensive Ozb Meetup? 💀

  • elgrande on 28/10/2024 - 17:24

    Can I bring a guest?

    Asking for a friend.

    • Zackeroo on 28/10/2024 - 17:25

      Is your friend the guest?

      • elgrande on 28/10/2024 - 17:31

        Yes. Or maybe I'm the guest.

    • cerealsmok3r on 28/10/2024 - 17:34

      Should be fine if they have an ozb acc

      • kerfuffle on 28/10/2024 - 17:42

        That wasn't recently created

    • Fat Horny Ghost on 28/10/2024 - 18:33

      As long as they are an Ozbargainer and not a new account then yes.

      • elgrande on 28/10/2024 - 21:54

        What if they are a new user but a long time lurker and the main person who makes me purchase actual Ozb deals, rather than just troll the forums?

          That's a no

      • kiitos on 29/10/2024 - 10:06

        What's the restriction on new accounts?

        • elgrande on 29/10/2024 - 18:09
          +1

          Its a strategy to avoid new signups.

    • cerealsmok3r on 28/10/2024 - 17:34

      Bro same

      • neoleo on 28/10/2024 - 18:18

        You look like one of the wealthiest among us.

        I'd like to come to Hyde Park event :)

    • Fat Horny Ghost on 28/10/2024 - 17:40

      Start your own MLM scheme 😆

      • neoleo on 28/10/2024 - 18:38

        Ozb coin :P ? To get bigger discounts and cashback ;-) Shopback be like …

  • cerealsmok3r on 28/10/2024 - 17:35

    Doesn’t platinum reduce it by half?

  • whatchaugot on 28/10/2024 - 17:44

    So do we have someone that meets the following criteria?

    • Crown Platinum or Black tier card holders
    • impostor on 28/10/2024 - 17:47
      +3

      Black tier card holders

      Don't think black tier holders would be on ozbargain with their spending. They're the upper echelon of high rollers

  • Clear on 28/10/2024 - 17:46

    Now I'm tempted to do a VIC meet up at the Steer Dining Room. Get that quality expensive Japanese Wagyu.

  • Homr on 28/10/2024 - 17:52

    Thanks, coming. I've always wanted to go to Epicurean so $44-$50 discount is a bonus

    Not really suitable for OzBargain Birthday:

    "Some budget examples copied from last year,

    BBQ or pizza at public park (with coupons, of course)
    Everyone orders UberEats / DoorDash / HungryPanda to eat at the beach and send receipts to scotty for reimbursement
    Cheap eat in a cafe / restaurant"

    Hopefully there won't be that many to register for this.

    • Homr on 28/10/2024 - 17:55
      +2

      The budget is the same though? We're paying an extra $103.50 out of our own pocket

      • impostor on 28/10/2024 - 18:12
        +2

        I remembered scotty mentioning about costs few years back. Scotty likes the overall cost than per-person budget

        • scotty on 28/10/2024 - 19:33
          +10

          I don't want to think about the overall cost of this year's events. Might need some cheap vodka after running through the spreadsheets at the end.

          • Clear on 28/10/2024 - 22:24

            @scotty: How about free vodka? I'll hook you up with a bottle of the good stuff if you're going to Parramatta :)

          • Fat Horny Ghost on 29/10/2024 - 00:26

            @scotty: Don't worry I have capped this event at 25.

      • jiayijames on 28/10/2024 - 18:23

        Even some of the corporate End of Year events I've seen for this November might be slightly cheaper:
        Example: to be held @ Commercial Hotel @ Parramatta + Royal Racecourse @ Randwick

        • Fat Horny Ghost on 29/10/2024 - 00:28

          Some of us like me are just fat and can't get a good feed from the canapes from corporate events or those set menus from weddings

      • Fat Horny Ghost on 28/10/2024 - 18:56

        Sponsored by our 💳

  • impostor on 28/10/2024 - 17:57

    Note a $50 beemit deposit per person will be required if we get the private dining room (13 or more guests).

    Is deposit refundable? Or does it contribute to the epicurean price?

    • Fat Horny Ghost on 28/10/2024 - 18:03

      Refundable - I'll just give $50 back and pay for everything at the end. That's if we have 13+ register. It will be ideal to secure the private dining room.

    UPDATE

    I have updated the event time. The times are not locked in yet as we need wait to see the no. of people registered and will try negotiate with Crown to try and get the private dining room.

    If 24+ register we will meet the minimum spend requirement of $3200 to secure the Hickson semi private dining room.

    It will either be:
    First sitting @ 5:30pm - 7:30pm;
    Second sitting @ 8.00pm - 10:00pm.

    • Homr on 28/10/2024 - 18:54

      8pm sitting would be good, have time for pre drinks :D

  • 12Sydney34 on 29/10/2024 - 08:04

    Does not pass the ozbargain pub test😂😂😂

  • SydneySwan on 29/10/2024 - 09:07

    Great effort FHG. Shame I will be in Barcelona that day. Perhaps next year?.

      Thanks. I will keep an eye on what group food deals are on next year 😁

  • Bonemusher on 29/10/2024 - 10:56

    I've got Ippudo registered for the 1st of Nov, but happy to cancel before the event starts if this is actually going forward.

    • Homr on 29/10/2024 - 18:20

      You're allowed to register for 2 events.

      • Bonemusher on 29/10/2024 - 18:55

        yeah, I've already paid a deposit for Nikaido Mascot, so that ones locked in

    Ok we just need 3 ozbargainers to gamble their house away so we can get the platinum discount!

  • impostor on 29/10/2024 - 21:34
    +1

    works out to be $90pp for under 10 people.

    Does it work if you do 2 separate bookings but have the tables close by?

    Was looking forward to eating Epicurean under $100🙁

    • Fat Horny Ghost on 29/10/2024 - 21:45
      +1

      This may work, I'll ask them

    • Homr on 30/10/2024 - 09:12

      Not a bad idea, true ozbargainer thinking hahaha

  • Fat Horny Ghost on 30/10/2024 - 08:58

    As it seems we are unlikely to reach 25 people, I will be reducing the maximum cap to start a waitlist so we can make 2 seperate bookings soon before it is booked out.
