Tips for people on the Waiting List

Are you on the Waiting List and really, really want to go to the 2013 Brisbane Diner en Blanc? Read the following, to help you out.

If you are on the Waiting List, you will receive an email invite in the next 24 hours. On Thursday 8th August at 10am you will be able to register.


Registration to get a ticket is first-come-first-served just like a concert. Last year registration sold out in 30 minutes - and we expect something similar this year. Be there ready to go at 10am on Thursday!

Good luck to everyone! Please understand that we have catered for as many people as we can this year, and that the event will grow each year. No abusive emails or posts will be tolerated, and may result in being barred from events.

To help you register efficiently, please follow our tips below:

1. Have you received your invite? 

Check your emails for an invite with a registration code in the text. You should have received an invite by 7th August at 5pm. If you haven't;

  • please check your junk and search for "Blanc"
  • check you are still on the waiting list and have registered a current email by going to our registration page. If you receive a notice "you have already registered" then contact us. If you hadn't registered, we will try to send you an email invite (but only if you have tried before 8am on 8th August)
  • If you have done the above, and still have no email invite, look at our Facebook page and check that many others aren't experiencing the same issue.
  • If not, then contact us on [email protected] before 8am on 8th August. After this time is too late

2. Sign up for a PayPal account - or check you know your PayPal password

We found that this makes the process much quicker, and you are less likely to time out if you already have a PayPal account.

3. Keep trying to register until we announce the event is Sold Out on Facebook

People registering have 15 minutes and if people timeout, you will get a chance to register. So keep clicking and waiting until we tell you it is sold out. Remember no abusive emails or posts will be tolerated, and may result in being barred from events.

4. Check our Facebook page for Tech Issues

Given a large amount of people will be registering there may be a lag in the system. We will announce any tech issues on our Facebook page, so have a look there first, before you contact us.

5. Consider Transport Locations

To keep the event location secret you will be transported by buses from Transport Locations all over Brisbane. We have written a post about this previously. Please have a look at our blog post.

We suggest that you have a few locations in mind as they may sell out. Once a location is sold out, you will not be able to select it as all buses will be full.

6. Read the information carefully

You have 15 minutes to register and there will be a counter at the top. 15 minutes is more than what you need, make sure you read everything carefully, particularly our rules.

For example it is important to note, once you have purchased a ticket you cannot swap your ticket with anyone, you cannot get a refund and cannot change Transport locations

7. Don't accidentally tick "absentee" when you register

No Phase 3/Waiting List guests should be absentees - if you click this box you won't be coming to 2013, but will be invited in 2014
 

8. Come back later to order Wine

We could not sell alcohol on our Diner en Blanc website (due to Queensland Liquor Laws), and so we have had to sell it on an external website (a big thankyou to Clovely Estate Winery for setting this up!). When you get to the "Store" page during registration there will be infomation about how to buy wine and food baskets. We strongly suggest, that you don't buy wine at this stage. The Wine page does not have a 15 minute counter, and you could time-out and lose your ticket. You can come back later to buy wine. Contact your Table Leader if you have any issues with this later on.



Goodluck!
