hahninator Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 The first ever LPLive Raffle will be taking place later this month (next week actually). What is the LPLive Raffle you ask? Well, member "Ash_Qwerty" came to me with the proposal - basically she is giving away her entire LP collection and she would rather do this through LPLive with actual LP fans versus doing it on eBay. I thought the idea was pretty cool, so why not? She has all sorts of stuff...over 50 singles as well as all of the albums, some LPU material and a few signed items. There's around 70 items in all, which will make a pretty cool giveaway. Basically the way we're doing this is we're going to set an account up and moderate it...and let people "buy" raffle tickets for a certain price (a few dollars) and then pick winners accordingly. All the details will be posted soon, but I just wanted to get the idea out to you guys and see what you thought. The tickets won't be like $2 each...probably more like $5 only because I'd like to do this internationally and open it to LP fans all over the entire world versus just the USA or USA & UK. Shipping items all over the globe brings the costs of things like this up, but we're trying to do it the most efficient way possible. This will be the first in a series of giveaways, raffles and contests LPLive will be doing to bridge the gap between now and the new album.

INK 1 2Many Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 (edited) Sounds like a good idea about being a raffle for anyone to join. Props goes out to Ash_Qwerty! For the great opportunity to let fans see the goodness of LPLive Edited November 17, 2009 by INK 1 2Many Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hahninator Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 I've got a lot of stuff I'd like to give away too but that'll all come later...this first one is just her stuff. I bet nkramar and a few other staff members have some things they'd give out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deafandblind Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 sounds like a good idea love that fact that your doing an the entire world and not just a few like USA UK but could we do like a live raffle picking/drawing? and the price is good @ $5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderStrike Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 The raffle itself is a really good idea. What makes it even better is that it's open to EVERYONE at the same price:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DXIC Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Interestingly! Only let's spend it next year! After all LPU leaves in December and expenses will be big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L13413P Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 This sounds like a great idea. One of the good things about this is that it's only the first raffle, so there's more chances for everybody to win if not this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sotrix Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 For future contests and giveaways, would it be appropriate to include non-LP merchandise as prizes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPxDC Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 For future contests and giveaways, would it be appropriate to include non-LP merchandise as prizes?depends what it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpaw Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 One question: What is the money we spend going for? To the person for selling the stuff? LPLive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraDoN Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 my guess is for the person with the collection or both. mark said that the person didnt wanne sell it on ebay so my guess is that its not a gift to lpl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyro Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 This is another awesome idea. I'd definitely buy some tickets! This is mildly exciting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiiesel Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 The first ever LPLive Raffle will be taking place later this month (next week actually). What is the LPLive Raffle you ask? has it taken place already? Didn't heard something about it. And it should have been Nov 23 - Nov29 ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
