A Matt Newsome kilt for only $5.00???

Matt: If we supply our own fabric, could one get *two* kilts *made* in exchange for the winning ticket? (I ask because it's as likely as my winning that I'd have a length of fabric by then, and I presume that the value of the tartan is roughly equivalent to the cost of tailoring in each of your box-pleated kilts)...

I like to know the rules to the game ;) Might I suggest, also, given the evident popularity of this sweepstakes, that after a certain threshold of tickets have been sold (380?) at the initial price, that the price for further tickets be reduced, from $5 down to $3 or so, to induce a second-wave of raffle purchases...

IMHO, that would not be a good move (in terms of the emotional effect on those who bought chances early). Maybe a discount on multiple tickets?

One of the best gimmicks I've seen for a raffle was giving six tickets for the price of five. That does wonders for sales of a one-dollar raffle ticket; I'm not sure how it applies here. Where I might have ponied up $1, $2, or $3---it induces almost everyone to give $5 each time they buy a ticket.

I can see that... My suggestion basically amounts to 2-tickets for $8; so, it would be fine to permit that sort of discount program, individually, from the outset. Perhaps, a third tier of 3-tickets for $10 would maximize participation?

I think $5 a ticket is quite fair for the chance to win. I doubt they will have any problems raising money for such a quality item.
