How can I purchase tickets? Sorors are strongly encouraged to collect payment from their guests and purchase tickets on their behalf directly through the chapter. Payments can be made in person to the Pecunius Grammateus (PG) or via PayPal. Tickets may also be purchased through Eventbrite; however, purchasing directly through the chapter is strongly encouraged.
Why are Sorors strongly encouraged to collect payment from their guests rather than directing them to Eventbrite? There are two important financial considerations: Unrelated Business Income Tax (UBIT): Tickets purchased directly by nonmembers will subject the chapter to a 35% UBIT liability. Having Sorors purchase tickets on behalf of their guests allows the chapter to avoid this expense and retain more of the proceeds. Eventbrite Fees: Eventbrite charges additional fees to anyone purchasing tickets through its platform. These fees increase the cost of each ticket and can be avoided by purchasing tickets directly through the chapter.
The bottom line: We want to keep ticket costs down for our guests while maximizing the funds retained by Omega Xi Omega Chapter.
