Banksy Raffle at £5,000 a ticket, by bored with screen names on Sept 3, 2008 6:41:12 GMT 1, But did you see what else you get?
"Each ticket holder will receive a minor original work from one of the gallery’s artists: Jonathan Yeo, Antony Micallef, Paul Insect, JR or the New York collective Faile. They also have a one in ten chance of landing a work by these artists and four others, including Banksy, who has two pieces in the tombola.
One of them is a defaced 19th-century oil painting entitled System Error which the gallery values at about £300,000. The other is Sketch for Essex Road, which shows two children pledging allegiance to a Tesco carrier bag on a flagpole. "
Doesnt seem so bad a deal to me!
So you get a "minor" OG from Yeo, Micallef, Insect, JR or Faile. Then a 1 in 10 chance of winning a more "major" work by Banksy or Faile or Micallef, etc?
I'd do it if I had a spare $10K. But therein lies the problem. lol

Banksy Raffle at £5,000 a ticket, by UpFest on Sept 3, 2008 7:46:54 GMT 1, Hey Silky... How many members do we on this forum? 5000+ ... how about everyone send in a £1 via paypal and we try and win it for the forum... Not sure what we would do with it then, either a charity or bring it home to a gallery in Bristol!
What do we all think?

Sounds fun to me, although I think the Banksy 'system error' piece isn't the best!

Banksy Raffle at £5,000 a ticket, by ricobenfico on Sept 3, 2008 10:20:02 GMT 1, a 1 in 250 chance ! forget about it!!!  I'm pretty sure the income against the actualy cost of the pieces (not the 2ndary market gallery valuations) wouldn't equate to that. So perhaps the guy who came up with this idea isn't so daft after all arahonomae!
a 1 in 250 chance ! forget about it!!! If this is how many tickets there are then the lottery stands to rake in £1,250,000 I'm pretty sure the income against the actualy cost of the pieces (not the 2ndary market gallery valuations) wouldn't equate to that.

Banksy Raffle at £5,000 a ticket, by graeme501 on Sept 3, 2008 10:31:38 GMT 1, i think its a great idea, it gives every1 the chance for a banksy original, and everyone will come away with something
i know people will say that its a lot of money, but everyone will get an original, and at £5k its the price of a signed banksy - i wish i had a spare £5k

I do not doubt the maths at all..., if they were to sell all the tickets. I just think it sounds a bit desperate.
Seems like they cannot actually sell the art for the prices they value it at, and are just "creatively" trying to drum up money to shift a few pieces and keep prices artificially high.
PS i am not generally a knocker but this is how I see it.

Banksy Raffle at £5,000 a ticket, by alsbabar on Sept 3, 2008 11:19:12 GMT 1, its a great idea and I have the catalogue, and if your art collection goes just beyond Banksy, then there are a some fantastic pieces by other artists, such as Micallef's Fuckface, Invader's Dalai Lama, Failes Stranger Encounters, Conor Harringtons (all of them are fantastic), Jonathon Yeo's Ursa Minor, Paul Insect's, Xray Skelli.
So its 25 pieces and only 250 tickets for sale - so a 1 in 10 chance.
I just think some of you guys will do the Laz-bashing no matter what - me, personally, I see this as a great idea and if you get an invite, good luck and see you there.

Banksy Raffle at £5,000 a ticket, by Agent Provocateur on Sept 3, 2008 11:52:00 GMT 1, I just had a thought... maybe out of the '250' tickets @ £5,000 they should have put '5' aside and had another raffle with tickets being £50 to win one of the '5' £5,000 ones available. Then they would have opened up the whole shebang to every level of punter. I'm sure they'd get a lot of takers at this level and even make more money on the cheaper (pre) raffle than if they sold the '5' for £25,000 (I think if my maths is correct they'd only need to sell 500 @ £50 each to reach the £25,000... wouldn't that be feasable?) ;D
Not sure if that made sense  , but ho hum

Banksy Raffle at £5,000 a ticket, by hlarmy on Sept 3, 2008 11:54:34 GMT 1, I personally don't like the 'system error' Banksy; valuing it at £300k seems a touch excessive IMO. I do like the 'Tesco' sketch however. At £5,000 a pop, I think I'd rather buy a couple of signed prints but then the kind of person who drops £5,000 on a raffle ticket probably doesn't collect prints. Bring on Graffle... 
Is this for charity?

Wasn't 'knocking' you Arahonomae, just pointing out the staggering figures! Nice idea AP but I think what's been hinted at is that there are plenty of people who'd pay £5k for a raffle ticket so these should all sell; regardless of the increasing the amount of admin required for another raffle for '500' people to win a raffle ticket  . I like the creative thinking though AP!

Banksy Raffle at £5,000 a ticket, by Agent Provocateur on Sept 3, 2008 13:44:12 GMT 1, Cheers ricobenfico... don't usually hav good ideas, so thought that was worth posting. Admit the extra admin would be a hassle, but I still think they'd get a lot more than 500 takers @ £50 for the 5 big tickets avaialble.
And the 'be all and end all' is that it doesn't just become an exclusive club for people who can afford five grand or more... good customer relations too .
Power to the poeple

How many members do we on this forum? 5000+ ... how about everyone send in a £1 via paypal and we try and win it for the forum... Not sure what we would do with it then, either a charity or bring it home to a gallery in Bristol! What do we all think?
never mind scaping the cash together you'll need an invitation first to get in to a Laz do and I reckon getting hold of £5K is a lot easier than getting one.
So if we get an invite will 5000 of us be able to fit in Laz or wherever its being held? Might be a squeeze, but I guess we'll get to know each other on a more intimate level

Gotta be kidding? Can't say i know lots of people with a 'spare' 5k, i would say it's the opposite of every1 gets a chance.More a select few, if i had 5k spare i would chasing a Herakut not a raffle ticket
