Where's that being held? Wondering how many numbers can fit. 300 people?

How much do you have to pledge just to get an invite? $3000?

Should be pushing over $1M before the doors even open.

 :clapping :cheers

At Punt Road in the new Social Club part of the building I believe. Seats about 300-350. I think they are plaaning for around 280-300

That was what the email said. It read that they were expecting those attending to pledge "a minimum of $3k"

Is that on top of the $3k+ they spent to get an invite or is this for those big ticket supporters who were just invited to come?

How much for a ticket?

I think if you're invited it's around $300 but if you donate over $3k to the FTF you also get a ticket if you want one

Not sure what you mean Infamy

My understanding of the night is it is by invitation only, it doesn't cost anything to go as the people who are attending are (as I mentioned) are expected to pledge a minimum of $3k. On the night how much people pledge/donate is up to them

But my understading is you cannot buy a ticket to night

If you donate over $3k you get an invite to the March 17th function at the ME Bank centre (if you want it)
It's part of the incentives program they have for larger donations

Exactly what I was saying Infamy - so I am not sure where you got it this it is/was $300 for a ticket to go from ??? because my understanding is there are NO tickets on sale for this event - invite only
 

Edited because I my crap typing  ;D

Sorry, I just read it somewhere before, I may be completely wrong though. I think there are some invites sent out to people who haven't donated yet but they will be expected to pay upfront for attending. I'm sure the club has a register of who has made some significant donations before and wants them to come along to lean on them to make a decent contribution on the night.

Haha, if I won Tatts maybe.
I went for the 6 month payment plan so I can hopefully donate a bit more, problem is the timing is terrible, one of my places is up for sale in early April and I won't really know how much more I can chip in until then. To be honest it won't be much more than I have just spent to get my name on the jumper.
