Hi All,
Does anyone have formula for setting the price for tickets for items
for raffle at meetings?
At AUSOM, we don't really have a formula, but here is how we charge
for our raffles.
For our regular monthly raffle, we charge $2. Up until earlier this,
there was one or two prizes in that raffle, usually donated from our
guest presenters eg Adobe, Microsoft.
In recent months, we have had five prizes in the monthly raffle, as
we had a number of "extra" donations from suppliers from the iMac
rafle. These have included subscriptions to MacFans.com,
BackJack.com, games from norbyte.com, books from woodslane.com.au,
Norton products, and Freeway from softpress.com.
We have still keep the monthly raffle ticket at $2 as members seem
happy to pay that as it "is loose change"
We are now running an Awesome iMac raffle, with a prize pool worth
over $20,000.
These tickets are been sold at $5 per ticket. We thought about
selling them for $10 each, but thought we get a better sale rate if
they where $5 and that seems to have proven true.
Most of the prize pool was donated to us and our expenses where the
iMac it self, printing of 10,000 tickets and then postage. We posted
a book of 5 tickets to all our members to buy or sell and most seem
happy to do either or both :-)
Tickets went on sale in September and will be drawn in December.
For more information on the iMac raffle, se

Is it based on the cost of the item? Do you have different pricing
for members and non-members, or do you restrict raffles to members
only.
We sort of based pricing on what we believe members will pay.
We just charge the smae amount regardless of membership status.
I'm sure there are a number of group leaders who would like to know.
Note: The prices quoted are in Australian Dollars.
