50/50 draw?

[browner]

Heard the winner only got £300, poor take up for such a big crowd.

I forgot all about this............didn't see or hear any sellers though.

[Ithryn]

300 odd sold that means, think the sellers where just as you come in the gate, it was lashing with rain when we came in, straight dash to the beer tent rather than stop to buy raffle tickets, would rather spend my money in the bar anyway, ulster are still getting my money that way, and i can support them better

[Gemma]

I probably would've bought a ticket, but I didn't see anyone selling them. UR could've done with making the sellers a bit more obvious.

[Rooster]

Didn't see any sellers at Aquinas gate was going to buy a ticket as well.

[pwrmoore]

didn't even know about it until the start of the match.....

[FNMilk]

I didn't buy one because like a eejit I rushed out of the house with only shrapnel in my pockets and

1. I threw a lot of it into the charity buckets at the gates
2. I had no money (kept £1.60 or a cup of tea and toffee crisp mind you)
3. I tend to cross the road when I see people looking money.

Was very surprised to hear that it was only at the £380 mark. 50 / 50 ... only around £760 lifted.
Miserable feckers. Yous are all a bunch of Scrooges.

sez the man who crosses the road when he sees people lookin' for money!!!

[goodaine]

Was gutted - number called was 5164 & I had 5167 ..... told you I NEVER win anything

[ColinM]

Looks like they started selling the tickets at number 5000 Goody, lull you into a sense of being able to win £2500 more than you actually could!

Honestly though, this isnt a bad idea. But why dont they charge £1 more per ticket, and tell you that £1 of every ticket goes into a 50/50 draw. Then all they need to do is rip the stubs off on the way in and throw the stubs into the draw.

If the gate is 8,000-10-000 UR gets 4-5k each week and they could draw out 5 tickets per week and each punter gets c.£1k. Get them photographed each week and create a bit of buzz about it.

They could have folks inside selling additional tickets too.

Come on UR get the fingers out and do the job properly.

Colin, phone Ravenhill, tell them you're taking over as Promotions Director or whatever it's called... get a good wee job out of it!

[ColinS]

Only problem I can see is, what if the same person keeps getting lucky?

Good idea Colzo. I could call it the 50/25/25 draw. ColinM gets the 50 of course

Is that a dig at me for winning the October comp

Not actually true as it is a franchise.

Re the raffle can't say I even noticed - non existant advertising as far as I am concerned.
