News Brief...general information for T&T CK9

Please be aware that for Carnival 2009, the price of alcohol in Trinidad & Tobago will be increased significantly.

As a result of this, your fete tickets, carnival costume prices (all inclusive sections/bands), limin at the bars will be affected.

Excerpt from the Trinidad Express:
INCREASES in the cost of alcohol are likely to continue in the months ahead, with a price adjustment with every shipment received.

Alstons Marketing Company, the largest importer of alcoholic beverages, has just released a new price list with hiked prices of more than 100 items.

A spokesperson for the company said the adjustment on prices now had to be made with every shipment that came in.She said the escalating costs of raw materials, freight, foreign exchange hassles and other factors were contributing to the increase.

Black Label Rum went up by 7.48 per cent, while Forres Park increased by 6.4 per cent.Based on the article, the price of RUM has increased by as much a TTD$3.00 per nip and increased by TTD$12.00 per bottle.

General TFT Information for 2009

For T&T 2009 Carnival Fete season, Trinidad Fete Tickets (TFT) will be offering its Personalised Service starting in OCTOBER 2008.

What this means for you our patrons and readers, is that you have the opportunity from 1st October to start placing your deposits on your selected events.

Please note that the deposit price is NOT the full cost of the event ticket, it is merely a down-payment.

Final prices for fetes/events in T&T as has been the yearly custom, are not released until 2 weeks prior to individual events - TFT has no control over this.
What we do advise is that you make your fete ticket budget based on the previous year's (2008) prices with a TTD$15-25 margin of increase, as promoters may raise prices.

The advantage of the deposit is, once the FINAL PRICE comes available, you will not have to go looking for the full amounts to ensure your tickets as they would've been reserved with said deposit and only the balance will need to be paid.

Our existing clients and subscribers will be informed and kept up to date via email.

The same booking procedures will apply, persons will be advised via email of these procedures. Payments will be accepted once again via the PAY PAL system ensuring that credit & debit cards are accepted.

NOTE: We will NOT be holding or reserving any tickets without a paid deposit.

For 2009, we will be making adjustments and tweaking other issues in order to service you more efficiently.

Please be advised that we will NOT be offering tickets to the following events in 2009 due to the problematic, and unreliable nature of the promoters and their committee members:
*Bacchanal Wednesday
*UWI Splash
*Diamond Vale Breakfast Party

Should circumstances change, we will inform our patrons via email.

The private / special section will be under the name JEWELS de CARNAVAL and will be part of the Arawak Mas Band in London.

Thank you and you and you..and yes you...

Dear Patrons

We sincerely wish to thank all of your for your kind patronage and understanding with all the difficulties we had this year in sourcing tickets and office hours, etc. We do hope that we have satisfied most of you, if not all.

For 2009, we will be making adjustments and tweaking other issues in order to service you more efficiently.

Please be advised that we will NOT be offering the following events in 2009 due to the problematic, and unreliable nature of the promoters and their committee members:
Bacchanal Wednesday
UWI Splash
Diamond Vale Breakfast Party

Quite frankly we also find the selective nature of the promoters insulting to patrons.


IN OTHER SITE NEWS:

We have been looking into the possibility of providing ticket services for specially selected fetes for the Barbados Crop Over season 2008. This is not yet confirmed.

Additionally, those of our patrons residing in and or heading to the UK for Nottinghill Carnival 2008, stay tuned to the site for information on our "special section" that we will be presenting.

Once again, we thank you for all your patience, trust and understanding and look forward to seeing and serving you in the near future.

Sincerely
TRINIDAD FETE TICKETS

Ticket Collection, Office Hours , etc

Ticket Collection, etc
Dear Blog visitors, we have had several emails with enquiries as to location, ticket collection, possibility of getting more tickets upon arrival in Trinidad, etc. We have attempted to answer those questions as concisely as possible below.

1. Purchasing customers will be advised of our office address, hours of operation and T&T contact number. We are very accessible by email and thru this blog as we answer all relevant emails received.

2. With reference to ticket collection, because you are booking online and we do not know who is who, to protect your purchase, when collecting your tickets we require you to walk with picture ID - driver's license, National ID card or Passport will be accepted in addition to the printed email confirmation you would have received. It is your responsibility to ensure you have these documents upon collection.

3. We will not be accepting any forms of cheques as payment. Payment will be via the PAYPAL system.

4. There will be no 'extra' availabilty of tickets once the deadline has passed for accepting orders. What this means is simply - when you come to collect your tickets, you will not be able to 'get an extra one', or add to your order. As indicated, we are allocated a limited amount of tickets from the various promoters/committees.

5. As tickets are 'sold out', we will be placing notices on the blog. So please keep checking.

6. We aim to please our customers and as such, due to numerous requests for BEACH HOUSE tickets, we have contacted the committee and are pleased to say that we will be providing tickets to this event as well (limited amount).

7. Tickets are on a first come with 'payment' basis.

8. To date a few of the event promoters have not released official prices or locations of their relevant fetes. This will also be posted as we receive word.

9. An addition to point 4. It will NOT be possible for us to service 'walk-in customers'. Anyone requiring fete/event tickets must have pre-ordered and paid for the respective tickets.
