Welcome! This team tries to help lower the costs of participation in Lote4 (23-26 October) for every community member attending. This doesn’t necessarily mean fundraising, rather it also requires coordinating and nudging participants to book well in advance and book cheap. We are coordinating arrangements in this wiki, let us know if you booked something and wanna share a ride or a room.
If you are up for contributing to make this a great experience for you and your peers, let’s collaborate. Like everything on Edgeryders, this is driven by social interactions. Things only become active when you post something, so if you think something needs to happen, step in and drive it, and others will follow
Pick a task of the ones above and complete it. If you need help don’t hesitate to ask by leaving a comment on the page. Each task is worth a proportion of the ticket value. and you need to complete enough of them to get one and come to Matera.
Wait to receive your ticket! Community members at Edgeryders will check how many tasks you’ve performed and it they add up to the value of a ticket, they’ll make sure to send it to you.
I doubt I can make it to LOTE this year but I’ll gladly try to get the same deal as last year from the Paris Airbnb team. Let me know if you want me to. Best, D
I think we’d do great with a similar deal, do you recall if people actually used it last time? I remember booking via a personal recommendation… but nothing much about the others. So much stuff happened those days my memory gets blurred
Just saying, so you don’t put too much effort.
An idea I have, and correct me if I’m wrong: would it be possible that as opposed to having 5-10% discount for unlimited spots, we have a bigger discount for a smaller amount of spots? Say 25% for 5 spots? That might increase the chances of people booking via AirBnb… just thinking out loud.
For archival purposes, AirBnb declined to renew the deal. Hopefully, there will be easy alternatives now that many local contacts have been established.
I just happened to come across this thread about staying with Airbnb in Matera. Perhaps it would be an idea to coordinate some of the apartments that are available so that people can share them? A quick search shows that there are 19 apartments that fits at least four people under the cost of 150 euros per night. Many of them are probably double beds, but perhaps those things can be worked out somehow…
… and allocate/sublet spots later? Doesn’t sound bad, but for upfronting expenses we’ll need to check the budget, not sure we can do it at this point.
Another option is to find people to stay with you early on, and book together with them. Give it another days since many are now on holiday, and let’s see.
