 Poster: A snowHead

We're hoping to book somewhere for 12 people in mid Jan, probably with a TO. Is that likely to be enough people to be able to negotiate a discount, if so any idea how much? Does anyone have any experience of this?Cheers.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Alpine Elements offer between £50 to £100 discount per person on bookings of more than 6 people.
You'd definitely be able to negotiate a discount with virtually all TO's i'd imagine.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

We've been on a few groups trips with Ski Miquel - pretty sure they do 1 free place for every 6 or 7 people (sounds about the same as mentioned above). Also various discounts for room sharing and kids etc. Limited number of resorts but have had good holidays with them in Bad Gastein and Saalbach.
Since mid-Jan is off-peak I'd imagine most TOs will offer similar sorts of incentives for a decent sized booking.

@sequoiaboard, there should be group discounts for over 7 (bit of flex between operators, dates, sometimes properties). PM me if you'd like specific example costings

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Phone people up and do good old fashioned bartering. Don't be afraid to play one off against each other either. If there's 12 of you then you're probably going to have a few thousand reasons for them to want your business.

Sorry but we don't offer discounts to groups of 12 (sorry). As we have cut the price down as much as possible already, as many TO's have, there isn't the margin to offer small group discounts.
I think Mark Warner, Equity and Crystal offer small group discount You could give them a call and ask.

@sequoiaboard, for groups of that size you are probably best talking to an agent instead of a TO. Someone like Iglu have contacts with most of the usual TOs and will know which ones will give you group discounts on that number.
From my experience, the market has shifted a bit over recent years, not long ago a group of 10 was enough to get some really good deals, now it seems they offer more upfront discount for 1s and 2s, and you need 15+ to get any serious movement on price.
