1. What improvements are planned for logistics (registration, ticketing, camping layout, etc.)?
A: The first big change is a move away from Kickstarter. For an initial first year it was needed to launch the event, but at this stage would do more harm than good to continue using. Moving over to Burgschneider as a ticket sales point, and SKALD as the ticket management tool will really help solve many of the issues we had with range of logistical tasks. Improved Arrival processes, traffic flow, and camp placement are all on the docket for this year. A smooth start to the event regardless of weather is always the goal, and we’re excited to take what we learned this past year and apply it to making those improvements.

Kosten für Deutschland.
If your project is successfully funded, the following fees will be collected from your funding total: Kickstarter’s 5% fee, and payment processing fees (between 3% and 5%). If funding isn’t successful, there are no fees.

Hinweis Das hat nichts mit den anschließenden Versand-, Verpackungs- und anderen Kosten zu tun. Die werden erst im Pledge Manager geregelt.
