# Tiered pricing The world is unfair, unstable, and unpredictable. Some of us have more money than others for reasons earned, unearned, and in-between. As The Beatles famously sang, "we all get by with a little help from our friends." I am currently reviewing my tiered pricing policies. For reference of what this looks like, see below # Tiered pricing for half-day events for 2026: Tier 1 - "At-cost" - $95 This is how much it costs to run the event, covering venue, materials, insurance, and my time at a modest rate. It does not fund the planning, development, or continuation of future events. Choose this tier if paying more would be a stretch. Tier 2 - "Standard" - $125 This is what it actually costs to sustain my work, covering this event and seeding the next one. Choose this tier if you have some financial flexibility (e.g., expendable income, access to savings, vacation flexibility). Tier 3 - "Supporter" - $175 Choose this tier if you hold significant financial privilege (e.g., steady or high income, wealth beyond your immediate needs, etc.). Contributing at this level helps make it possible for those with fewer resources to attend. Tier 4 - "Supported" - negotiable If you regularly struggle to meet your basic needs, carry significant debt, or lack financial security, reach out. I set aside a percentage of seats in each event for a community-supported tier.
