EndureForACure Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Hello Everyone, My name is Jason and I am raising funds and awareness for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society as part of the Team in Training program. I do this through the site I run, Endure For A Cure! We are hosting a charity raffle for a chance to win a pair of tickets to the Men's Slalom Final and Closing Ceremonies for the 2010 Winter Olympics. We are also raffling off a pair of tickets to the Men's Bobsleigh Final. The best part for you is that we are ONLY selling 200 tickets. That is a 1/100 overall chance of winning! That is pretty good odds, PLUS you are giving to a great charity! We are selling the tickets for $20. Please visit our site for more information, oh and TELL YOUR FRIENDS!! Thank you for your help!!!

memorabilia Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 (edited) BE CAREFULL !!! This is totaly forbidden to realise lottery with Olympic Games Tickets.... even for a good cause. Only IOC, OCOG and Official sponsors could make games/lottery with tickets as winning prizes.

mr.x Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 This goes against VANOC and IOC rules. Your tickets could be removed from you if they find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EndureForACure Posted August 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Oh really? Even though we have purchased them in full through the appropriate means? Thank you for the information, I will look further into it. With all the "scalping" that seems to go on with these tickets, I would have thought this was okay, since people are making a donation straight to the society and I am essentially "giving" them my tickets, so I never see any of the money. Thanks again. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again. Jason To "give" tickets is not totally allowed... as now-days, for main international sport events, each ticket is supposed to be identified to his buyer. If you want to give tickets you are supposed to declare them to the organizer. The main problem in your case, is you are using the Olympic Games to promote your action. And that's specially forbidden as you do not own any marketing right for it !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
