I think it'd be a good idea to have something like that setup. It'll make it
easier for folks. What worries me most right now is the Baltimore Aquarium
entrance fee. I've made a reservation there for the approx # of people that are
attending the FT, put down a modest deposit. When we get there as a group,
if we do not want to stand in line (and we do not - its crazy and negates the
purpose of the reservation) - we need to have all the tickets for all the people
entering the BA bought by the group leader. That means collecting $16 from
each FT attendee.
Options I've considered:
Email all the FT folks and ask for prepayment via paypal (we'll incurr
paypal fees)
OR
Email all of them and tell them to bring cash. They can pay up Thursday
night when they pick up their registration package. Either cash, or
paypal (again, the fees)
Since this is a straight pass through, either we take a hit on the paypal fees,
or charge them for it.
Paypal charges 3% right? If so, it'd come out to a total of $45 in paypal fees
for the max 94 people in the FT. A little less since we're comping some of them.
Thoughts?

Great. It's nice to have alternatives.
