Good idea, I posted on their fb page asking for the ticket count and the post was deleted.

just gr8, i guess this means i need to stop dreaming of winning it then.

Aww, this is a big downer. Would have been nice to see this actually happen. Hope everyone gets refunded without any major incidents

Hey guys, its Chad out at Duc Pond... A few things I can address for everyone.. first, not sure what happened to that FB post, I show it still being there.. I'm the mod on the page, and I didn't delete it. I really do apologize...  Now, obviously There have been some issues with getting this thing to run smoothly... Dan and his wife, who are HP charities, have been put through the proverbial wringer over this.. between the state and the payment, and having to defend themselves it has been a challenge... Needless to say, there is a reason we are working with them on this.. they are great people and this is a great cause... Now, what you really want to know is how much longer, correct??  Not long!!  Den has secured a booth at the DC IMS show, where he will be selling tickets, and if by some chance there are still some left after this, he has a booth lined up at the NYC IMS show... He fully intends to get this done ASAP...

Hopefully that will have answered all your questions.. if you have any more, just let me know... I obviously don't check in here that often, but I will keep my eyes on this one... Thanks so much to those who have already bought tix, and thank you all for your patience!

thanx for lookin out....sorry I had to Email you a heads up...good to have a firm update though!

[Cabbie]

No worries Zoom!  THanks for the heads up!  I know everyone is frustrated that it has taken so long... Part of the reason for the slow sales is the simple fact that most site providers wanted money up front to list the raffle, which none of us really expected.. that and Dan had to really defend the charity to the internet community as well as jump through a bunch of hoops for the state.. Their accountant basically told them they were good to go on the raffle, which it turned out they werent.. as far as the payment goes, that has been a major headache, but I think they are confident it is all sorted now.

Just checked and charity ticket donations can be purchased through the HP charities site again. 

"Game On!"

Chad, thanks again for the heads up.  I think there were a couple of posts on DP's FP page, one from me and one from thought. 

Anyhow, thanks again.

According to HP's Facebook page they are thinking about dropping the price to $25 and doubling the amount they were origanly going to sell. The thinking is to speed up sales.
So if you bought a ticket at $50 you would get 2 tickets.

Great, so now they have to sell twice the number of tickets.. I don't do facebook (the root of all evil)but their website only shows the new sale price of $25 with no mention of extra tickets for people who paid full price.

Any Idea how many tickets are left after the DC show a few weeks ago?
