Payment policy

Which events cost money

On every event page, the “Cost” field says either “Free” or the price per person. There are no hidden charges and we never add a booking fee.

The price covers what's listed under “What's included” on the event. Anything not listed there (travel, food, drinks) everyone pays for themselves.

A 40% deposit secures the seat

As soon as you submit the booking form, you get an automatic email with the deposit amount and the payment details. Your booking stays pending until we receive the deposit — then we send the confirmation email.

• The deposit is 40% of the total (price per person × seats).
• Deadline: 48 hours after booking, or by the day before the event if that comes sooner.
• If the deadline passes without payment, the seat is released to the next person.
• Use your full name and the event as the payment reference.

The remaining 60%, 2 days before

The balance is settled before the event, by the same payment method: it has to reach us no later than 2 days before the event date. We never ask for the full amount when you book.

• Deadline: 2 days before the event starts.
• The amount is 60% of the total — your booking email breaks it down.
• Use your full name and the event as the payment reference again.
• If the balance doesn't arrive by the deadline, you lose the seat and the deposit is not refunded.

Payment methods

The payment details (IBAN or another method) are sent with your booking email and are not published here, for everyone's safety. If the email doesn't arrive within a few minutes, check your spam folder and then write to us.

Any transfer or deposit fees are covered by the sender.

Cancellations & refunds

• You cancel your own booking up to 1 week (7 days) before the event: we refund the deposit in full.
• In every other case — cancelling less than 7 days before, or for any other reason — there is no refund.
• If you don't send the remaining 60% by the deadline, you lose the seat and the deposit is not refunded.
• We cancel the event, for any reason: you get the full amount back, or we move it to another event if you prefer.
• If the event is postponed (e.g. because of weather), your deposit moves to the new date — or is refunded if that doesn't work for you.
• Refunds go back via the same payment method, within 5 working days.

Changing seats or sending someone else

You can raise your number of seats up to 48 hours before, subject to availability. Lowering seats with a refund of that part of the deposit is possible up to 7 days before — closer to the event, the cancellation rules apply. If you can't make it, someone else can take your seat: send us their name and we'll sort it out at no charge.
