The main part of any fundraising event at the Stadium is the selling of admission tickets. Obviously, the more tickets you sell the more successfulyour event will be, both from a revenue and attendance perspective. There are many different types of tickets available for you to sell for your event. Here are a few examples:

€10 STANDARD ADMISSION TICKET: One plus Race ProgrammeSunday afternoon - €3 per ticket presented at the stilesMinimum €7 Profit for your club from each ticket sold. (Subject to min of €400)Saturday Night - €4 per ticket presented at the stilesMinimum €6 Profit for your club from each ticket sold. (Subject to a min of €600)

€20 FAMILY ADMISSION TICKET: 2 Adults, 3 Children plus 2 Race ProgrammesSunday afternoon - €6 per ticket presented at the stilesMinimum €14 Profit for your club from each ticket sold (Subject to min of €400)Saturday Night - €8 per ticket presented at the stilesMinimum €12 Profit for your club from each ticket sold (Subject to min of €600)

SMALL - TICKET SALES Funds from €1,000 to €6,0001:

EXAMPLE ONLY

Your Group receive 300 pre-printed standard tickets from StadiumSell 250 tickets @ €10 ................................................. €2,500Stadium Charge of 150 @ €4 each ....................................- €600 Potential Profit (before Raffle on night) ............................ €1,900

You can select one or a combination of the different types of tickets to sell as part of your event. Ticket & Poster Printing is not included in the above rate. All Inclusive rate of €1,000 to include tickets & Posters and unlimited admissions.

Organisation’s who don’t want to go down the route of organising a full benefit night as discussed above have the Buster Draw Option which works as follows: In any given race there are 6 dogs competing, trap 1 to trap 6. In any race they can finish in any order (e.g. 123456 or 654321 or 136524 etc). There are 720 possible race results, therefore for a buster draw you need to have 720 tickets with a separate combination for each possible result. We can source these tickets for you.

We then run the buster draw race (normally race 7-8) and the ticket holder with the winning combination wins the prize money. The recommended price for these tickets is €20.00 but you can charge what you see fit. You are charged by the stadium in the same manner in which the Small Ticket Sale benefit is charged €4.00 per ticket presented at the door on the night, subject to a minimum of €600 if you do not choose the All Inclusive price of €1,000.

RACE SPONSORSHIPA standard race night at the Stadium consists of 10 races. The opportunity is available to fundraising groups to sell each of these races to local companies, individuals, existing sponsors etc. We would recommend selling each race for between €200/€300 but this varies depending on what your group feels would be attractive to potential sponsors. In turn the sponsor of each race would get:

• Race named after them on the night – This is printed in the race programme and on the www.igb.ie website.

• A free A5 race programme advertisement on the night • A post race trophy presentation to the winning owner/

trainer of their sponsored race – trophy to be supplied by fundraising group.

• Complimentary admission passes to the event

DOG NOMINATORSAs already discussed each race night consists of up to 13 races with 6 Greyhounds running in each race. The idea of greyhound nominators is to sell each greyhound to your club members or supporters prior to the event.This is not only an additional revenue stream but it also adds to people’s excitement on the night of the event.

FOR EXAMPLE: 13 Races — 6 Dogs in each raceRACE 1 TRAP NOMINATOR PAID 1 SEAN FOGARTY €20 2 JUSTIN KENNY €20 3 EMMA BYRNE €20 4 TOM DONNELLY €20 5 RORY FLAHERTY €20 6 SAMANTHA FLYNN €20Race 1 trap 2 wins the race so Joyce gets a bottle of Champagne* A Total of 78 dogs will run on the night @ 20 each = Profit of €1,560 *Prize’s must be provided by you
