Rookie3 Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 Mods, I hope this topic is okay! Right not sure how well this is going to work, but I've got a spare standing ticket for Green Day at the Shepherds Bush Empire tomorrow, and because I don't want to join in with the touts charging outrageous fees on eBay I thought I'd try something a bit different. I've set up a Just Giving page - if you donate just £5 you will be entered into a draw to win the ticket. All money will go to the Bobby Moore Fund for Cancer Research UK. I'll meet the chosen person outside the venue to give you the ticket. Here's the page. http://www.justgiving.com/greendayticket Hopefully a few people will donate - or this just might fall flat on it's arse! Please feel free to pass this info on via Twitter or whatever else as it's all for a good cause! cheers guys!
seaspray15 Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 Can I buy it off you for £60 and you give half to charity?
Todd Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 If you donate more, do your chances of winning go up?
Rookie3 Posted August 22, 2012 Author Posted August 22, 2012 Nope, I did think of that, but it I think it's much fairer to keep it at a small donation. Seeing as no one has donated anything yet... chances are 1 £5 donation might win it as it is
englishidiot86 Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 so all i have to do is give £5 and theres a chance i can get a ticket to Green Day tomorrow? how would you get the ticket to the winner?
Malleus Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 Really cool idea! I'm broke so I can't donate, nor can I be in England by tomorrow, but still.
Moriarty Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 What a wonderful idea! When will the winner be announced? I'd like to enter but know that I shouldn't because I have no money for transport, or a place to stay. Still, £5 is so tempting and it's such a nice idea to donate at the same time... Ahhhh. Oh go on! If you can get yourself to Coventry you can hitch a ride down with me.
burnout409 Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 This is an awesome idea! I'll see if anyone i know want's to enter, i would if i didn't already have a ticket.
Rookie3 Posted August 22, 2012 Author Posted August 22, 2012 Regarding how your get the ticket - I'm going as well, it's a spare ticket I've got, so I can meet the winner outside the venue, you just need to come in with me to get wristbanded at the box office, then you're free to go off on your own!
gdpony Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 Wow, I must say yoy are a great person! What a wonderful idea!
Rookie3 Posted August 22, 2012 Author Posted August 22, 2012 Oh, sorry, missed the other message - winner will be announced bang on 3pm tomorrow, hopefully that will give everyone enough time to get to London whilst trying to raise as much as possible for charity - I will email/text the person picked at 3pm.
Rookie3 Posted August 22, 2012 Author Posted August 22, 2012 Right guys, I've brought forward the finishing time of this to 1pm tomorrow, as a couple of people mentioned 3pm wouldn't have given them enough time to get into London. Only a few donations so far, so still a good chance of being in to win a ticket for a £5 charity donation to Cancer Research! cheers!
Rookie3 Posted August 23, 2012 Author Posted August 23, 2012 Last 5 hours or so for this! Only 7 people in so far, so still a good chance of winning the ticket! Finishes at 1pm!
Rookie3 Posted August 23, 2012 Author Posted August 23, 2012 right, final bump on this one, last hour! Thanks to everyone who has donated so far!
