Second prize is 4 Vantage Club tickets.....
A certain % of the Revenue from this scheme should be put into the Loi.
I'd question the FAI's role over the Loi over the last few years, Seriously have things change that much?
I don't get what's so unusual / funny about that.Quote:

Rest assured if these overly priced tkts were selling well, a running order of sales figures would have been released by the FAI with much fanfare.
Are people missing the point? We know the tickets aren't selling well. Redron just wanted to know if anyone else is running similar draws like this or purchasing a seat. I think its a great idea, for €20 people have a chance of having the seat for a year and if the draw keeps going for the next 10 years it will raise funds over the years not just once off.
Also i have heard the IRFU have sold all their 10 year seats in The Aviva Stadium.
looks like it will in fact be a bi-annual thing...;)Quote:

I wouldn't give a ****e who i was sitting next to if i had tickets for a top international qualifier and it only cost me €20 and i'm sure a lot of people feel the same. Its not just open to LOI or Limerick fans either. Anyone can enter it.Quote:

I do, and I'd very much doubt I'd be alone in that.Quote:

For example, an adult who plays for a junior team and has a child in a schoolboy club could be asked to enter two separate raffles. And, if he's a Lge of Ire fan, he might be approached to buy one also.
Of course, if these clubs don't sell enough raffle tkts to meet the outlay for vantage tkts, whose pocket gets hit? Not the FAI's anyway.
