OzBargain is turning 16!

Just putting this as a placeholder as people keep asking about the Melbourne cbd meetup. We have paid a deposit and booked the Tavern at Fortress. I will post a deal later closer to the date so there is nothing you need to do now.

Similar to Last years meetup, same setup however we've been able to up the attendees to 75 from 50. $5

✅ Free food (pizzas, meatballs, popcorn chicken etc.)
✅ Free unlimited soft drinks & juice.
✅ Free OzBargain t-shirt.
✅ Free unlimited use of Playstation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One S, and board games.
✅ Free Not a Bot virtual badge.
✅ Free physical nametag.

NEW for 2022:

🆕 Upped attendees to 75 from 50
🆕 Easier for us mechanism to refund or credit $5 to members for entry. (Not sure what though)
🆕 Going to try to give first shot of attending to everyone who was on waiting list last year.

Removed for 2022:

❌ No Scotty in attendance

Again, nothing you need to do now. I'll update the this thread before posting the deal so subscribe to comments if you want.


Update: If you can't make it and need to cancel, send me a PM here or contact me through Eventbrite. Whatever is easier. This gives those on the waitlist a chance to attend.

Comments

  • Managed to get one at 12.30pm while it showed 3 remaining… Holy

  • Legends! managed to grab a ticket at 12.32pm with 2 remaining

  • Hmm, wouldn't let me check out and my email address wasn't accepted as a promo code.

    • oh wait, i think it worked now. tickets appeared to be on hold by someone else.

  • cannot checkout :/

    I keep filling in my info and it says to fill in the highlighted fields, of which there are none?

  • Doesn't seem to let me use my email as the promo code

  • Sorry, Eventbrite is super buggy. I can't seem to open up waitlist, stuck at 2 tickets left so marked sold out. I'll work to see if I can fix it.

  • OK, waitlist open. If you sign up there, then if tickets become available (2 became available last year), then you'll get a ticket. Anyone who joins the waitlist may get priority next year.

    • thank you, submitted for waitlist : )

  • Hey @neil sorry to do this, but I just realised I'm going to be out of town. I'll need to get a refund :(

    • You should be able to login and get full refund, which should release your tickets to the waitlist… should

        Cool thanks. I've submitted a refund request.

  • Ah dang I missed out :(

  • Ahh. Missed out. Have fun everyone.

    Nuts, missed out even with the early bird notice - have a good one on me folks!

  • See you there!
    Just do not expect to be looking out for an older bloke with my name…😂

  • Using my email address didn't work in the promo code, but I've at least gotten onto the waitlist now (was on the waitlist last year as well). Will see how I go…

  • Bugger. Joined waitlist.

    For those unable to get in, can we get a Shirt and a Badge if we meet at front or something

    • +2

      It's going to be too chaotic with 73 people and just myself managing. Probably best to try one of the other meetups.

      • Fair enough, I just asked as it had been done in the past.

    Thanks @neil @scotty
    What an awesome night great to catch up with everyone as always.

    We will find you one day @jv.

    • One day

      We will find you one day @jv.

      You didn't look hard enough…

      • Noooooo I only came to try and find you!

        • I wore a carnation.

        Hmmm, I say you're not bold enough to unmask yourself.

    It was nice to see some faces to some familiar profiles. See you all next year ;)

    Cheers for organising @neil @scotty. Appreciate the effort you put in.

  • Photos?

    Thanks organisers and hopefully see you all next year!

    A couple of final related questions:
    Anything we need to do to get the virtual badge or just be patient?
    And any updates on the refund mechanism?

    • +6

      Will go through it over the weekend. Pretty crazy here with Black Friday/Cyber Monday at the moment.

        Neil, thanks for organising last night. Great to meet you, and happy I could at least make one get together this year!

    • All virtual badges have been issued.
    • Most of the refunds have been processed. There is maybe 1 or 2 which I need to investigate as 1 person is checked in but not the other.

    Stats:

    • 67 68 people checked in.
    • 95 people still on waitlist.
    • Worked out to be $33.12 per person.
    • +2

      Just got it, was not even expecting a refund to be honest 😂. Really enjoyed the night and was happy to pay whatever it cost:)

      Thanks Neil:)
