teresaw Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 heh everyone, really looking forward to chevron and very excited bout meeting Amanda I have had some thoughts on auctions for dinners with celebs. Many attendees save up long and hard to be able to attend cons and would dearly love a chance to have dinner with Amanda etc but would not in a million years be able to take part as money very limited. how about a raffle type option in the future?? Obviously the ticket prices could reflect the cause/charity event but then everyone would be able to have a chance, it just seems a fairer way, letting everyone have a go and not just the wealthy guys, we all want to support said charities and maybe more could be raised this way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elenmai Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I'd like that, I can't even really afford to come to the con at all, so definitely would never be able to win an auction, but could shell out for a raffle ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia923 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Awesome idea! I was thinking about something like this, because I always keep an eye on those auctions and then I look at my bank account and yeah.. So I'd definitely go for this kinda auction, which gives everybody a chance. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eccheetham Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 i think that this would be a superb thin to consider. i am on benefits and sell out for 1 convention a year as (usuely just standard) as my special holiday each year. never would i be able to afford the somethin hundred pounds to pay for dinner with teh calebs. but i would be happy to pay for a raffle ticket at a chance of winning. especaily if i knew the money was going to a specail cause. theis is a great idea and would probably earn the carety more money than just one person fauking out several hundred pounds as more people will be able to contribut a small amount of money say 10 to 20 pounds or so at the odd chance they could be the winner. so as my final words i say- give it a go shaowmaster.

debsa68 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Totally agree with this. I don't have much spare spends after all the other Con expenses, but would deffo buy several raffle tickets. Would probably make more money that in the auction anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
