Event Tickets - A Big Draw for Charity Raffles
September 22nd, 2008 
houndsgood Posted in running a charity |
One time, in school, we were raising money for a trip and one of the students donated a pair of Dallas Cowboys Tickets to raffle off. The boy’s name was Matt, and I remember him very distinctly, as he always wore head to do Dallas Cowboy outfits. The only discordance was that we were living in Wisconsin. As you can imagine, he bought a lot of tickets to win what his family donated, not to mention was always given a hard time on game days.
There is a charity auction coming up (details to follow soon!) and I was toying the idea of tickets as one of the items to donate for it. Since any ticket booth is too far away, I was looking at Online Tickets at Stubpass because it seemed very well organized. I expected to see sports and concert tickets, but there were some pretty offbeat selections, like the National Farm Machinery Tractor Pull. Of course, the recipient of the tickets would have to drive or fly to Kentucky, but there is some beautiful scenery along the way.
There are enough events on it where you could definitely find something to fit the theme of your fundraiser if you decide to buy tickets to purchase to reward a volunteer or raffle off for your charity. I would definitely check to see what StubPass has to offer.

You can always ask other bloggers to donate things too. We are usually a pretty helpful bunch!

Tickets are always a good idea for fundraisers. Alot of times we won’t buy them, but if we win them we get to do something we enjoy.

My church has an auction at our yearly fair, and tickets are always great buys there.

What a great idea. It is a heck of a lot easier than selling candles and other cheap stuff.

Next year when our PTSO can run auctions and raffles (have to go through some red tape first) I’m going to suggest this idea as a fundraiser. The fans for the Tampa Bucs and now the fantastic Tampa Bay Rays will spend money on tickets for their games!
