My problem with the large entry fee is that you’re taking money away from the girls.  The guys come to meet  the girls in advance of their vacation (well I do) so we can spend money on their honorarium later.  The more money you spend gaining entrance to the party is less money available for the envelope(s) later on.  The goal should be, IMO, is to simply break even and keep it as affordable as possible, yet keep it in a safe respectable location.  $500 is still way too much, IMO.  That’s almost the average hour.

At 1K was it worth it? My guess is probably no, but at 500 it could be worth it...sound right to you??
What was the ratio girls to guys? 2 girls to 1 guys?? Was there alot of gawking and drooling...lol...fucking with you.
Anyways glad you have a "lovely" time.

yeah 1K was a lot and i understood it was a first party and i expected a modest turn out .. i wanted to support someone who was trying to put together an elite networking party ... meeting guys and girls besides the "usual suspects" you see on TER .   especially in Vegas there is frankly a massive number of very high quality UTR ladies that are tough to find via the popular internet sites.    

as a long term supporter of TER ( since 2000)  i still support this network but Vegas is a special place with many UTR ladies and gentleman.    up to now its been mostly referral from other hobbiests , including Hpygolky,  to whom i owe a big thanks    but be nice to have other options there.  

its a chicken and egg situation as well .. to get more ladies requires more guys showing up ...  and $500 might do that.  and hopefully people can be confident to know now its a real group.    a reminder this was a real party with real food, an open bar and even belly dancers and other entertainment.  

I attended the meet and greet.  It was the fewest attendees of any meet and greet in my life. However, I did meet several ladies who never heard of TER, so that was a good aspect. I wish everyone used TER. I am not sorry I went. They need a lot more advance notice and promotion if they do it again. The hobby has become so fragmented on  the internet that TER alone is not enough anymore.

I attended the party, it was a nice outdoor event. Although there were only a few people there, those few were extremely nice. Agree about the much reduced cover comments, although I do understand that the venue setup isn’t cheap.  

I’m sure that this could be retooled a bit and be extremely successful.  Make it a bit more risqué , maybe with dancers that are raffled off, etc.

Red velvet party

I thought it was wonderful! It was a beautiful venue. There were quality guests. It was fun to put faces with some of the names on here, ones I’ve interacted with for years. And it was nice to see a couple of old friends, as well. Their goal was A specialty niche. They nailed it for the first time, especially. Of course, there’s room for improvement. There always is. Does anyone remember the first time they Hobbied?

you post makes it sound like if a girl was not at that party she is Not top Tier...really...I hope they are paying you to advertise for them
