Questions about Tickets

At this time of year we often get lots of questions about tickets.  Diner en Blanc is a labour of love, and everyone organising it does so in their spare time, in order to keep the costs low for you. If you have a question for us, before emailing us, please have a look at the "News" posts, at our Frequently Asked Questions, on the website and on our Facebook. You could also post your question on  our Facebook page, our previous guests are great at helping us out to answer your questions (thanks for that guys!).
 
Here are some answers to questions we have been getting lately:
 
How do I get tickets?
If you are not a member of Diner en Blanc in Brisbane, register your interest on our website. This registration puts you on the Waiting list for “Phase 3” (see more information on the Phases by clicking on "More Info" on the registration page).
 
Please don’t use your work email, or an email that is likely to change, as you will always be contacted via this email.
 
A few weeks before the event, you will be sent an email telling you when tickets will go on sale. You will be given a date and an exact time. It will then be first-come-first-served, and tickets may sell out fast!
 
Am I guaranteed a ticket if I am on the waiting list?
You are not guaranteed a ticket, but if you are very keen we suggest you be online for the date and time the tickets go on sale.
 
Can you tell me what my chances are on getting a ticket?
We are sorry, but we do not know what your chances will be if you are in Phase 3. It depends on how many people in Phase 1 choose to buy tickets. In Phase 1 you have the opportunity to be absent for a year. It also depends on how many people in Phase 1 choose to nominate someone to be a member in Phase 2. It also depends on the general demand in Phase 3.
 
The only thing we can tell you is, if you are very keen we suggest you be online for the date and time the tickets go on sale.
 
I have a large group and would like to reserve tickets, is this possible?
It is not possible to reserve tickets to the event, in groups or as individuals. The event does not favour anyone, everyone must register and then it is first-come-first-served for tickets.
 
If you have a large group it will be difficult to get seats together, and so we ask people to not expect to be sitting with their friends. You will sit opposite your guest, so you will always have a friendly face opposite, but it’s a fantastic opportunity to meet new people seated around you for the dinner part of the event.
 
The only possible way to sit with friends is to make sure you select the same Transport Location and the same Table Leader. You are seated with the people in the same Bus/Table Group. It is however difficult to do this, as groups fill up quickly. We suggest you keep watching this blog, and see what Transport Locations and Bus/Table Groups are created, then choose these prior with your friends. We will try and keep you up-to-date with what sells out in Phase 1 and Phase 2.
 
However if you do have friends, or a large group at the event, during the dancing/socialising part of the evening, you are encouraged to leave your seats, and this is a great opportunity to be with a group of friends.
 
All of our guests enjoy this format. It may be difficult to grasp before experiencing the event, but when you attend, you’ll understand why it is setup this way, and it’s great advantages.
 
I went with a friend last year, they were a member, and I was their guest. Can I be made a member and bring my own guest this year?
When your friend buys their tickets, they can nominate you to become a member. You will be receive your invite in Phase 2, and then become a member, and able to invite your own guest.
 
Make sure you discuss this with your friend before they buy their ticket. If they do not wish to do this, make sure you put your name on the registration list, and you will be invited in Phase 3.

I was a member last year, but can't come this year, can I stay a member and be re-invited next year?
Yes you can list yourself as absent, pay the yearly membership fee and you will stay on the Phase 1 list for the next year. When you get your email invite, go to register at the time and date on the email (like you would if you were buying a ticket), but on the second page of registration tick the box at the top that says "Absent Member", then follow all of the instructions to the end. You can also sponsor someone as an absent member, so a friend can become a member.

That's all for now! Please be patient if you are asking a question via email, and consider checking if it hasn't already been answered elsewhere, or perhaps posting it on our Facebook page, so everyone can be benefitted seeing the answer. Some of our previous guests are great at helping out and providing answers. Thanks everyone!
