Hockey fans,

I have received 4 more tickets for a Leafs game, offered by Emilie and Dave Laverty. The game is on Feb 19th in TO. If your a fan, you KNOW what those babies are worth and how hard it is to get them.

We need to be fair for the current Dance/Auction ticket holders and yet, we need to have those tickets up for auction early enough to offset the fact that it is a short notice.

Therefore, I will hold another on line auction. I can’t close it on Saturday because I will be at the Dance. Friday is not enough notice to give people a chance to bid. So, this online auction will close on Sunday at 8PM.

So just like the last time, you can bid by clicking the “Leafs vs Columbus GOLD Tickets” title of this post. Scroll down through the comments and to the comment form. Enter your E-mail (visible only to me and important to contact the winner), your bid in the comment section, and click SEND COMMENT. Your bid will not appear immediately, but everything is time stamped on my side. On Sunday, in the last few minutes of the auction, I will post the last minute bids live as they come in. The last bid received prior to 8PM will be the successful bidder given that the bid is higher than the previous one.

Since we have 4 tickets, we will sell them in two lots. You can bid on either lot (Ex: $150 on Lot A) If you are looking to buy all four tickets, you’ll have to beat the current bid on both lots in one post (Ex $150 on lot A AND $175 on lot B ).

So here is what you’re bidding on:

LOT A

1 pair of GOLD SECTION tickets to Toronto Maple Leafs vs Columbus Blue Jackets on February 19th in Toronto. Section 109, row 11, seats 19-20

LOT B

1 pair of GOLD SECTION tickets to Toronto Maple Leafs vs Columbus Blue Jackets on February 19th in Toronto. Section 109, row 11, seats 21-22

The starting bid is $150 for each lot. Bids are now open.

OK hockey fans...

Because of the fact that the Leafs tickets we have are for a game so close to the Fundraiser event, we’ve decided to give everybody a fair chance to get them with a reasonable notice.

So starting now, this post you are reading will be used as an online auction for the tickets. To bid, you click “# comments” below this post. Enter your information on the form below all the existent comments and enter how much you want to bid. As always, comments need to be moderated prior to being posted. I will moderate the posts a few times a day. There will be an indication as of how many comments are awaiting moderation. Some people still post by clicking the yellow envelope by my name. That sends me an e-mail instead of posting. I will then post your e-mail to enter your bid, but it is an extra step.

In order to give a maximum amount of people a chance to bid, the bids will be open until Sunday February 8th at 8PM. This will give the successful bidder over 1 week notice that he/she has the tickets. In the final 2 hours of the auction, I will be posting the bids live as they come in to facilitate the possible last minute dash. The last bid received prior to 8PM will be the successful bidder given that the bid is higher than the previous one.

Let me remind you what you are bidding on:

1 pair of tickets for the Maple Leafs playing Buffalo Sabres on February 17th, in Toronto, donated by Atlantic Pakaging.
Tickets are in section 309, row 1. That is the first row above the Gold section, center ice.

So here we go…… The starting bid is $75 for the pair……..Do I hear $80
