Title: Holding a Raffle Post by: Ash on June 11, 2010, 04:08:46 AM Have any of you held a raffle before?
I am hosting an Airsoft event on June 26th and 27th and I want to hold a raffle for some really cool prizes. I hosted one before and I did it by paying for the prize out of my own pocket. Then I sold tickets at a certain dollar amount for each item. For example: If you wanted to get in on the raffle for a set of brand new Cobra MicroTalk two-way radios, each raffle ticket cost you $3.00. The more tickets you purchased, the better your chances of winning. In this upcoming raffle at the next Airsoft event I will be offering some very nice and expensive prizes. A couple of the prizes are valued at over $150.00. We're expecting 50+ players and most of them will want to get in on at least one or more of the prizes. I'm not aiming to make any money off the raffle. All I want is to break even to cover the costs of the prizes. In your opinion, what's the best way to host a large raffle with expensive prizes?

People are probably more apt to spend the extra two bucks to get two tickets at a discount rate.
