Tickets 

How it works

Books of 10 tickets are provided for you to sell with each ticket voucher being valued at $10. The funds from each sold are split 50/50 with the seller and the HBRU each recieving $5 for every sold ticket voucher. .

The more tickets that you sell, the more money that you can make and unlike selling raffles when the purchaser wins by luck they get to come to a Magpies game as general admission (embankment and general ground areas) or can use the ticket voucher as credit to upgrade to a stand ticket. Its a win, win situation. 

How much profit can I make? 

Number of vouchers sold = Profit 

  • 10 Vouchers = $50 
  • 20 Vouchers = $100
  • 50 Vouchers = $250
  • 100 Vouchers = $500
  • 200 Vouchers = $1,000
  • 500 Vouchers  = $2,500
  • 1,000 Vouchers = ​​​​​​​$5,000

How To Sell Ticket Vouchers

Ways to sell the Magpies ticket vouchers

  • Make sure you tell the people you are asking why you are fundraising and why it’s a good cause, this will have a higher success rate.
  • Think about approaching friends and family as well as door knocking, sports clubs, mum and dad's work, standing on shopping streets and asking people as they walk past, and lunchrooms of business etc.
  • Remember that everyone may not have the money on them at the time so offer to come back on a certain date so they have time to get the funds for you.  
  • If it’s for your kids we think it’s important to involve them in this process and to motivate them to sell the vouchers themselves using their own ideas for who to approach is also a great learning experience. However, Mum and Dad taking the vouchers to work and selling them to their colleagues is a quick way of selling through the allocated vouchers. 

Organiser 

Have one organiser, use tally sheets one per classroom, group, team. Follow the Steps for Getting Started 

Time Frame 

Make it short and sharp. Give the sellers a date to bring back their money.

Fundraising Incentives 

Motivate your sellers to be first to bring back their money with prizes. For example, the first set number of children will receive a ball and all children who bring the money back in by the end of the second week go into the draw for a prize. If they sell 2 lots of vouchers they have two chances at winning.
