For example, when you want 2 seats to an event, raise your paddle in 1 hand and 2 fingers up with the other hand. Multi-buyer events will be bid up to the highest value that sells the total seats available.

RAFFLE TICKETS

Be sure to buy raffle tickets for a chance to win some great prizes. Raffle tickets will be available for purchase after you pick up your paddle. The drawing will be done immediately at the close of the live auction.
