DO IT.When we did it we were telling over half the people to piss up a rope or pay $20, so to save ourselves the trouble of having to repeat ourselves so many times, not to mention the time and effort involved in sending out all those packets with the stuff this is the method we've gone with. This isn't to say that should enough complaints come down about it that the mailing won't be tried again, I'm just telling you why things are they way they are now.

Before it gets suggested, the reason the liason isn't given the money then to refund the participants, because not everyone has to go to a liason. The line is a central point of control for this procedure, and as I said before, it's not the individual that has to stand in the line IIRC, any member of their crew, family, or friend can collect the refund.
