Win Tickets To Sit In Doorman's Seats Final Charity Auction 2009, Brewers v. Astros, Saturday September 19th, 6:05

[rickey24]

I've had numerous people come up to me over the past few years and tell me they wish they could sit in my seats for a game, well now is your chance to do just that. This is the second year I've done this, and based on last year's response we'll try this again this year. I'm going to have an open auction for my both of my seats to an upcoming Brewers game. There are however, a few rules that go along with sitting in these seats. First off, no foul language or upsetting of anyone sitting near you, secondly, no calling all of your friends and waving to them when you're on camera. Third, if you're not a Brewers fan don't bid on these seats, I don't want someone with a Astros jersey sitting in these seats. If you can abide by these three rules you're free to bid on these seats.

One more thing, this is a charity auction, with 100% of the proceeds being given to one of the charities listed below. So here is your chance to get a tax deduction, feel good, watch the Brewers, and then go home and see how you look eating peanuts and hot dogs on TV. There are a few things that need to be clear before I start this auction, they are:

1) Winning bidder will choose one of the three charities (listed below) that they want to give their money to.

2) Winning bidder must provide me with a phone number by the end of the auction so I can contact them to arrange the exchange of tickets and money order.

3) Winning bidder will personally meet me to receive the tickets and will at that time provide me with a money order written out to one of the three charities. I will send the winning bidder a receipt from the charity so they can use that for the IRS. Please be sure you've got the funds to pay for the seats. I will have the winning bidder provide a money order to pay for the final amount of the winning bid.

4) The open auction will end on Thursday September 17, at 8:00 pm, CDT, with the highest bid at that point declared the winner. This isn't eBay, so please don't wait until the last minute to submit your bid.

5) I will personally donate $200 to the other three charities that are not chosen so no one loses out.

The three charities that I've decided will benefit from this auction are:

1. American Cancer Society

2. The MACC Fund

3. Make-A-Wish Foundation

While I certainly understand that there are many more charities out there that are worthy of receiving a donation, these are the three that I've decided I'd like the proceeds of the sale of my tickets to benefit.

In addition to the tickets the winning bidder will also receive passes to the Metavante Club, where they can go before, during or after the game to have a drink or some food.

The opening bid of the tickets will be $200.

The seats are in Section 121, Row 4, Seats 9 & 10, you can put your left arm on the dugout sitting in my seat, and you can rest your beer on the dugout as well (of course it won't be up there long, the ushers will tell you to take it off).

Thanks and good luck!

Very cool again. Maybe I'll go shake down some old ladies walking past my house to raise the money http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

 

PS - How on earth can you handle the heat every day in those seats?

Well, it doesn't look like this is going to go anywhere this time. Ah well, we'll look forward to 2010.

 

The bidding is still open until Thursday, but considering there is yet to be a single bid, it looks like no one is interested this time.

I wouldn't object, but we're going Friday and Sunday, and coming from Madison three days in a row is problematic. Thanks anyway.

If finances were different, I'd love to get in on this. Hopefully next year. Thanks for doing it again Doorman.

I'd bid again like last time, but it's been a rough summer (household improvements and other boring non-Brewers stuff). Hope someone steps up, as these are real "dream seats."
