- File the tabs the moment the tickets clear your card — that's when everyone's most grateful you snagged them and most willing to pay.
- Include the service and processing fees in the split. Those fees are real money and they're easy to forget you ate.
- If someone drops out, a filed tab makes it obvious who still owes for their seat.
