Tickets An idea: CP ticket giveaway - Page 2

**DaFace** · 01-16-2020, 09:36 PM

Seeing stevieray get a ticket to the game kind of warms the cockles of my heart, so I'm wondering if others would like to team up to do a little more.

I know we've got a lot of guys on here who would like to go to the game but don't feel like dropping $250+ per person is do-able. On the other hand, it wouldn't take much for people to chip in and try to get someone there who wouldn't otherwise be able to go.

So the concept:

From now until Saturday evening, I'll collect donations from people who think this is a cool idea.
Suggested donation is $25. If people want to do more than that, they're welcome to. This thread is just to gauge interest so don't start sending me anything!
If we get at least 25 people say they'd be willing to donate in the poll, we'll do it. Once we're officially doing it, people can PayPal me (or if anyone has a better idea of how to do it more transparently, I'm open) to donate.
I'll also collect names in the poll for people would like to be considered. I'll pick a winner (or winners) completely randomly among those who entered - no popularity contests. Restricted to people with 500+ posts or 5+ years.
On Saturday evening, we'll close it down. Assuming we did indeed get enough to buy a pair of tickets, we buy the best pair of tickets we can for the money we received. If we receive enough to buy 4 tickets (even cheap seats), we give out two pairs - again, the best that the money can buy. And if this happens to go nuts, we'll figure out the balance between quantity and quality.
The only requirement for the winner(s) is that they have to have a great time and post pictures.

So...anyone in? It's OK if this crashes and burns, so be honest. I'll put up a poll, but PLEASE don't click "Yes" unless you're committed to sending $25 in the next 48 hours.

(The poll is anonymous because I don't want anyone to feel pressured or singled out, but I'll be able to look at the names on the backend to make sure no one is trolling and to get the list of entries.)

Suggestions also welcome.

I'm in for a $37 donation.

**TrebMaxx** · 01-16-2020, 11:20 PM

I am in.

I will donate $3.73 if the winner agrees to beer bong red beer. I would like to contribute to binge drinking football culture.

George Liquor · 01-16-2020, 11:30 PM

I think I got $25 in my venmo account I could kick in.

Sofa King · 01-16-2020, 11:37 PM

Honestly, I probably owe for enjoying this site for free for over a decade as well. So count me in for $25 plus $25 to the website.

**DaFace** · 01-16-2020, 11:44 PM

Everyone be sure to respond to to the poll so I can keep a count.

At our pace, I'm pretty sure this will happen, so people who want to go should be sure to "enter" as well in the poll.

One problem with the poll..... I WILL donate but also would like to be considered for the winning tickets (I assume it’s for two tickets). I will happy make the rounds to multiple CP
Tailgates and take many pictures and videos (was my forte many moons ago) including game play photos! Like this one I took in 2013!

Good reminder for CP members on donating to the site. Maintaining a server is not cheap and moderating this site looks to be a full time job.

I going to kick in some money for the tickets and if the thing goes nowhere I will just donate it to CP for "upkeep" and booze for the Mods.

This is truly an amazing thing you're doing.

I'm in. Venmo work?

Yeah, that's fair. I'll manually account for you in both categories. Assuming we do hit 25, I'll start a new thread to further build out the list.

Yeah, that works too.

**DaFace** · 01-17-2020, 08:22 AM

By my count we're at 17 people, and a couple of people have mentioned being on the "plus" side of $25, so I think we're good. I'll take the risk that 1) a few more people will be "in" and that 2) it won't be a huge amount to cover if they're not.

New thread incoming.
