See this thread for more context, but the gist is that we're going to send a CPer or two to the AFCCG who wouldn't otherwise be going! The rules:
If you'd like to chip in to help BUY tickets, the suggested donation is $25 (but all amounts are welcome). See below for Paypal/Venmo donation options.
If you'd like to be entered to WIN tickets, post "I'd like to enter" in the thread (restricted to people with 500+ posts or 5+ years). You don't need to donate to enter, but you're welcome to if you'd like.
Friday around 8pm Central, I'll close it down and draw THREE winners to get a pair of tickets each. Winners will be chosen completely randomly - no popularity contests. I'll get the best tickets the pool can afford.
The only requirement for the winner(s) is that they have to have a great time and post pictures.

Yep, we'll draw two pairs. Plus possibly a single tomorrow, but we'll cross that bridge if it happens. [Reply]

At this rate we may be able to have Fisher do another Stone Cold beer smash for the winners. [Reply]

It'd be nice to just get all four at once and then send them out via Ticketmaster after I get them so that our CPers have to sit together. :-)
I bought one for the AFCCG last year for my wife and it was instant delivery. I don't remember accessing it from TM though. Just used my Chiefs app I believe.
I'll see if I still have the email from when I bought it. [Reply]

Caveat that there's still that single ticket offer that may come through tomorrow night, and there's no way to bump that forward.

Chiefs app = Ticketmaster on the backend, so if that's the way it works, we should be good. [Reply]
First off, I want to thank DaFace (Matt) for doing this. Amazing stuff, and so cool this is going to happen. 2nd, I don't think you should have to donate to be a part of this deal. 3rd, it'd be really cool if these tickets (however many there will ultimately be) went to some fans that honestly couldn't afford to go otherwise. In the back of my mind, rightly or wrongly, that's kinda what I thought was happening originally.
Thanks again, Matt. You're doing God's work :-) [Reply]

I think that's generally what we're getting. I don't want to be in the business of determining what "can't afford to go" means for people. If they don't already have tickets, I'm OK with making the assumption that the cost is a big reason for it. [Reply]
