I got the call yesterday that the 'performance' for the weekend left around $7500 on the bill. When I told them all my cards were maxed out and my bank accounts were overdrawn, they were gracious enough to drop it down to $5500. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
This whole charging thing still leaves a horrible taste in my mouth because it doesn't make any logical sense. But I'm the moron who put his name on the dotted line. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) At this point I doubt there is anything I can really do about it. There is around $1000 coming in from the silent auction. As I told a few people at the event, I really thought they were going to be a little more gracious about this.

Here are the contract papers. Any ideas or advice is welcome. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smiley_notworthy.gif) Page 3 has all the fine print. Ouch... Actually page 2 looks like the trouble. "Performance Fee: If the event is held, but the hotel does not realize the total revenue anticipate from your event, you agree to pay performance damages. The damages owed will be the amount necessary for the hotel to receive no less than 80% of the total anticipated revenue from your event." If I'm understanding these contract terms correctly you committed to bring the hotel $7,750 a day for 3 days (50 rooms) and guarenteed the hotel at least 80% of the committed $23,250 (=~$18,600) [probably doesn't include more money for taxes]. So if we didn't fill ~ 40 rooms, the hotel still gets to collect money up to 80% of the expected $7,750/day. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) What is jacked up is the part that says the rate is available for 3 days before and after the event days, which apparently didn't get honored. Your best bet is probably to get the "performance fee penalty" reduced by proving that there were event people that didn't get properly accounted for (paid full price). Hindsight is 20/20, but this is a learning moment for us all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |
