Raffle Pricing 09/06/2015 11:12 PM CDT
Curious about how raffle tickets are priced. Is it a percentage of the base item value?

I ask because I want to raffle an item off and I do have an idea what I want to set the base raffle ticket cost at but would love any advice.

I set up about 10-15 raffles a year now for CHE purposes and it depends on the occasion when it comes to setting the price. Most of the time it's a guess to recoup the money spent on the item, sometimes it's to make a profit, sometimes it's set very low as goodwill from the house.

With regular advertising, we usually sell 100 tickets per raffle, most of them within about two hours before the draw time.

For the most part I think our tickets are 25k for good items, 50k (or more) for great items. I tend to purchase items for between 1-5 million.

Hope that helps.

Very helpful. Thank you. I have an item that I would like to raffle to raise money for an MHO. Trying to get an idea of ticket cost.
