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.

List of entries (ordered by winning rank):

Tambaberry - winner
God of Thunder - winner
SuperChief - winner

Clarification: I already have tickets. Don't consider me for the drawing.
I definitely know a young couple that I could pass them on to who are not going at the moment, they are Chiefs fans and would be loud, but if you need to be a CPer to use the tickets then don't enter me in the drawing. [Reply]

Got it. I'm not adding people to the drawing unless they specifically ask for it, so we're all clear. [Reply]

Jinxes don't exist. But to each his own... :-) [Reply]

We are exorcising every demon this year. Get yourself there! [Reply]

Thanks! And yeah, I tried to outline it in the OP, but my thinking is that:
If we get between $600 but less than $1200 (in rough numbers), we do one set of two. If we get $1,200-$1,800, we do two sets of two. That kind of thing.
(Looks like $250 per ticket is the floor right now with 15% fees on top of that, so I'm figuring ~$300 per ticket is what we need to get in the door at minimum.) [Reply]
Side note: I think it's kind of awesome and telling that we have far more people donating than we do asking to be entered. I do hope more people want to go though! [Reply]

I did both, me and the wife didnt have the money this year(went to last years AFCCG) to go because we bought a house and it needs some work but there would be a few things more exciting than watching the Chiefs hoist the Lamar Hunt trophy at Arrowhead. It's taking everything I have to not splurge on the tickets. But I can donate some and enter, it's a win win because at least if i don't get drawn then at least some other cper will get to go!

This is really cool and a great idea.
We've always had pretty good luck on here any time people have needed donations for a thing, so it seemed like a fun way of helping some of us live vicariously through someone else getting to go. :-)
If this is wildly successful, I could see it being a tradition any time we get the AFCCG at home in the future. (Hopefully we'll have a lot of those coming our way...) [Reply]
