FAQs

A.

A Reserve Auction is an auction in which there is a set minimum final or winning bid amount that must be met in order for the event to proceed. If the auction closes and the reserve is not met then the event or Hangout will not take place and any bids placed will become null and void. When a reserve amount is met or exceeded, however, all bids that meet or exceed that amount become binding and the winning bidder is obligated to make payment for his or her purchase at auction end as per the Hang With Band Terms of Use. Hang with the Band Reserve Auctions are “blind” in that no one but the seller knows what the reserve price for a given auction is. A bidder can, however identify if a reserve has been met or not by either of the two following phrases at or near the top of the event description section and/or at the auction page:

• “Reserve not met – Keep bidding!” indicates that a reserve price has been set for the listing and that bidding has not yet exceeded this price.

• “Reserve met – The Hangout is on!” – indicates that a reserve price has been set for the listing and that bidding has exceeded that reserve benchmark. The event will proceed as described provided that the bidders subsequent bids are eligible to win the auction.

For example, if you had a party of 5 people that wanted to attend, we would need three registered bidders, Two of them would be registered for two participants and one registered for one participant for a total of 5.

Within a few minutes after the end of the Auction cycle we will determine the
Preliminary Final Ranking. As soon as each of the participants are approved and payment is received a final list will be published. If a bidder defaults on payment they will be barred from further bidding and the spot(s) will be offered to the next highest bidder(s). This process could take as long as 48 hours so if you don’t win right off the bat, you may still have a shot. Once the Final Rankings are determined, email notifications will be sent out to the winners.

A.

If your bid has exceeded your credit limit and you fall in the Preliminary Spot
Rankings at the end of the Auction, Hang with the Band may at it’s discretion offer you the opportunity to provide an alternate or additional form of payment. This must be completed and paid for within 24 hours of the auction close.
