How much would you be willing to pay towards your work Christmas party?

[shineandsmile]

Assuming your company doesn’t pay for it. What would be the limit before you start thinking you won’t bother?

I only go because the boss pays for mine. It's the least the tight arsehole can do.

Zero

I didn't go once we had to pay.

£100, but it was a weekend trip abroad/away and the company covered the bulk of the costs. That contributed to the food and wine provided 24/7 which was worth it!

I wouldn’t stretch to more than a lunch if it wasn’t being paid for so £20ish

Nothing!

£0

£0. If they want me at a party, they pay.

These days, nothing.

I once paid about £20 top up, which was a job where I was mates with a lot of my colleagues and would've been paying to go out with them after work anyway. This was back in my pre DC days!

We have a big party, completely free food and drinks and usually a celeb DJ. We have hair and make up artists to the office.

I would pay nothing for this as genuinely have never enjoyed a work Xmas party in the last 15 years.

Paying towards your work Christmas party?! Absolutely not! If it's an official do, that's on the company.

80% of the workforce aren't so I'm guessing that the poster is referring to those???

£00000

They'd have to pay me to go.

I think no more than £40.

Get fucked is what I'd pay.

I wouldn't pay. I never had to pay for the office parties I've been to in the past. I didn't enjoy them much either so I wouldn't care if I missed them.

Depends what it was and how much I liked my colleagues.

I’ve never worked anywhere where they paid for it. I’ve paid anything froM around £20 upwards over the years. Plus drinks, transport outfit etc. I don’t go to them anymore cos i don’t drink much and would rather be home 😂

Ours is £26 for the meal this year for just us, so £52 with a +1, followed by a pub crawl. I’m going to the meal but not the pubs as it’s on mad Friday and I really hate the crowded pubs. I’m only really going as I like the company of the ones who are actually going, otherwise I’d be giving it a miss

Nothing, I've not been for the past few years, I find them insufferable

0!!!

30! But probably not if organised by management, I’d expect that to be paid for.

Nothing!

I really like my colleagues, but already see them five days a week. Far more than i see my best friends and family. That's enough for me.

I do go if there is a theatre trip or something like that, as I love the theatre and will happily go with colleagues, pay for my ticket and a meal beforehand too.

But a traditional Christmas night out with dinner, drinks and dancing with colleagues really isn't for me at all.

I haven't been on one in years, as I'm effectively self-employed these days. I don't miss them one tiny little bit.

But back when I did, about £35 would be my limit.
