Hello folks,
Ok, so I joined yesterday as I was interested in an event that was listed on the site. It's a masquerade ball held in a three-million pound London mansion, that's as specific as it gets and I'm wondering what I have to do to get more info.
I don't want to seem pushy or like I'm bad-mouthing the organisers, I am absolutely not, I assure you. I'm just confused as I initially PM'd the organisers asking for details. After 24hrs of no response, I decided to click 'attend' on the event. Later, I noticed the event in my 'upcoming events' list and it has 'invited' next to it. Now, I'm not sure if that's there because I clicked 'attend' or if it's there because the organisers have accepted my request to attend. If it's the former then fine, it's a bit odd, but fine; if it's the latter, I'm wondering why they haven't responded.
I messaged them again earlier but, aside from PM'ing them, I've just no idea what to do.
From my point of view, this is highly unusual. Perhaps it's 'the done thing' in this community, I wouldn't know (that's partly what I'm asking); is it common for hosts to refrain from responding personally? Is it common for locations to not be disclosed? Is it common for entry fees to not be disclosed?
If I'm to go, chances are I'll need to book a hotel (I don't know if it's an all-night thing or not, if there's some kind of accommodation or not, where the nearest station is, as I may get a train, but then, depending where it is and whether I can find somewhere to stay, I may drive...)
Do you see what I mean? For this kind of thing, for me, last minute is the day before. I'm not just popping to the pub for the evening, lol! I mean, I don't even know a start time.
So, am I worrying over nothing or is this actually odd for an event that's listed here?
If the organisers see this, could you kindly let me know if I'm being a douche and worrying for nothing, if I'm not invited because I'm new or otherwise appear dodgy and untrustworthy (how could you guess? :P ).
Thanks for reading, let's just hope I'm being a right (or left) tit and worrying over sod all, eh?
