A note about tickets on Canada's own Zeffy.com - they send us the whole $80 with no transaction fees of any kind embedded in that (amazing! - American-based Eventbrite would only send us $73.50).

Zeffy will solicit a donation to cover transaction fees that is COMPLETELY OPTIONAL (meaning 0% is OK), but 3% ($2.40 on $80) would cover the credit card costs, for example. A little more would cover more of Zeffy's costs. We're not a fan of the much larger % suggestions either, but can't change it. Thanks for your support of us and Zeffy!

Children 13 and under are free (one child per paid ticket) - Please email us at saethiopiandinner@outlook.com to let us know after your ticket purchase.
