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.

As a donor, I think most feel they donated to a CPer going, not to some rando person out there
thats cool. I didn’t donate to get him an entry. I liked the idea and understand keeping it a CP member. :-) [Reply]
Given the very strong response to this, is anyone opposed to me amending the rules and taking care of the drawing tonight around 8pm Central? That would let me get this done before my travel day tomorrow and give the winners more time to make plans.
Caveat that there's still that single ticket offer that may come through tomorrow night, and there's no way to bump that forward. [Reply]

I think it's a good idea to bump it up to give people within driving range a chance. Just because they don't live in Kansas City doesn't make them any less deserving [Reply]

Go for it. That will give the winner more time to plan. [Reply]

I might be a huge asshole for that but this was started for CP
If it changes your decision, this situation has been changed. [Reply]
donated and would love enter the drawing as long as it's for 2; my lady friend might be a bigger fan than I and as much as I'd love to see us win the AFC championship, it ain't worth being single. :-) [Reply]
