Port Adelaide raffle anyone get a call?

[Dalphonso]

Yesterday I got the mob who are running the Port Adelaide raffle call me saying ticket sales are going way too slow and can I buy another book for $60.00 or take a book to sell.
I thought about it for a little while and had to tell her no. The club has been over doing it on fundraisers in my opinion I told her.Money for this and money for that they want and I think they have just asked too much of people.She hinted that this is why she thinks raffle ticket sales are down.
It was only $60.00 but I have membership coming up for 3 people and buy all my merchandise from the club as well as pledge per win.I just thought the raffle tickets was a bit too much especially after buying some seemingly only a few weeks back.

Funny, I had a call last week and said I would take another book (and sell it at work) but nothing arrived.
I did not pay on the phone (i generally shy away from doing that). If its ended no wonder I did not get sent another book

As usual the results of the raffle will not be posted on the Port Site. I have asked several times why this is not done. Not everyone buys the Advertiser.

I had a call yesterday from them to buy another book.
They told me that they still had a few books to sell so they extended the deadline.

I rang them on that day as I had neglected to return my book. I was told the deadline had been extended until sometime in November.

Cheers, that gives me some extra time to sell my tickets.

Mind you I've told the club a few times that selling raffle tickets with the third prize onwards being a Port souvenir pack is basically an exercise in goodwill of your work colleagues who don't follow Port or football. Surely they could get some NFR freebies from their sponsors.

Oh shite...have a book siting right here on my desk..forgot all about it.

 

[dav3]

Yeah I got the call the other day, already bought a book over the phone a while back (well...... I got a sheet of paper with some ticket numbers on it). They were offering whole books or single tickets, ended up saying no.

It's true. I buy a book every year out of goodwill.

I never get much interest in selling tickets to others though. Better prizes would definitely help.

 

[Flash of power]

They ring me all the time, and I usually just buy a few tickets on the phone as it is a safer bet as I am shocking at returning the books.

I do doubt the value of purchasing tickets though as I don't know how much the club actually makes from the sales. I think next year I will buy my dog a membership instead as I think that way the club gets the whole amount.

 

[manureid]

Just filled out my book...will ring them just to confirm if I send it today that I will still make the draw.

 

[manureid]

Extended to the 20th of November.

I've given up trying to sell the tickets to others. When they ring I just buy the whole book over the phone and they send me a letter with the ticket numbers. Saves me having to fill out a book of tickets myself and remember to post it back.

Exactly what I do.

 

[RedCentrePower]

I have always bought the books. Never ever won a thing from any tickets. But was over the moon when I got lucky in the 1st one this year won a 3rd prize a 2 signed Guernseys AFL & Prison bar and a footy. Bit surprised when they rang and said they had a 2nd lottery But its a great cause so I Bought another book that closes on Friday. The missus would love the 1st prize, new Renault, has to be a TEAL paint job. LOL.

I always buy my book but last year was a worry because I got a call weeks after I handed mine in asking me when I was going to hand it in. Luckily I still had the receipt given to me at the counter but after that I wasn't too sure whether I was actually in the draw. I just see it as a 60 dollar donation now. This year I waited until the last day to hand it in and made sure I got a receipt again.
