Would you prefer paying $180 or the gamified pay between $1-$360?
I like the latter, but it would deter those who can't afford to give more then $100/$200/$250 etc. I think a set ticket price would be better.
Most of these type of raffles I get in is $100.
This number seems right. The question is will enough tickets sell. If this hits the MS and gains some publicity, we may attract a donor or 2 to add a runner up prize in return for putting their "sponsorship" up there.

+1 some times I hesitate to donate in the $1-$360 gamble, not always do you want yo donate $360. A $100 ballpark donation sounds reasonable. IMO

$100 ticket would need nearly twice as many sales as that.
$180 would be the comp.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Poll added. Let me know if there is any way to edit it for the better. Kinda hard to poll 2 questions in one.

True but it would also be easier to find people willing to pay $100 over $180. I personally don't think you'd have a problem selling enough tickets as long as it was the right charity.

He didn't ask about WF so I naturally assumed it wasn't for himself :)

Maybe offer $18K cash or $32K towards the cruise+private cc/miles consult with me on the cruise?

Usually the diff between prize & cash is not that big, & if somebody takes the cash that should also be with a private cc/miles consult as well. Some ppl may just not be able to do the cruise but would still want the consult.

This is what I was thinking too. As amazing as the cruise sounds I doubt I'd be able to go (plus my wife would never forgive me for going on a trip like this without her!), but would still want the consult.

I believe the cruise option covers 2 people.

The point is to highly incentivize the cruise option, but still appeal to everyone

I guess it would at $28-32k - I had it in my head that $28k was the price per person. Never mind me  ;D

In that case you can give three options - consult with Dan, $18K, cruise for 2.  ;D
