Lower income subsidies are available on adult ticket prices only. For details accessing subsidies, see below, but we'd first like to explain the ticket price for those who need these subsidies.
Intention is a not-for-profit organization. The ticket price is set at the minimum level required, based on the amount the camp is charging us for your accommodation and food, plus your share of fixed costs like the transport truck for sound gear, plus a tiny amount of wiggle room for the organization to be able to cover contingencies. As we are all too aware, these kinds of costs have been going up steadily over the past several years.
The only way we can make tickets more affordable for those on lower incomes is if people donate to increase the amount of subsidy requests we can meet. If you're concerned that your friends won't be able to make it, and you are able, please donate to help them. Intention still remains cheaper than any similar event we're aware of providing food and accommodation, let alone a conventional holiday. If you are able, please consider donating some of what you'd save to the subsidy fund. We can receive PayPal donations at the account intentioninfo[at]gmail[dot]com Other means of funds transfer available on request, contact info[at]intentiongathering[dot]org for details.
If you'd like to request a lower income subsidy without which you wouldn't be able to attend, please do so when buying your ticket. There will be a field on the registration form to request a subsidy. Please note that we may not be able to grant 100% of the requests, though we will attempt to. In general all participants who request subsidy will receive the same percentage of what they requested. We will send you back your approved amount after ticket sales end (approx. Dec 15, exact date still TBD). If this amount is not enough that you can still afford the event (hopefully it will be), you will still have at least five days to sell the full price ticket you paid for to someone else - based on past experience you'll very likely succeed, as more than enough people look for tickets after we close sales.
Parents, please be aware that youth tickets are already heavily discounted by the venue and the caterer, and the ticket prices are already much lower as a result, so we are not offering further subsidies for those tickets.
