I have my reasons.... This is going to be exactly like ebay in the end... There's 96 seats available, probably 1/4 or more will go to corporate bidders.... You can wait till the last minute and bid and get the same seat you would be getting if you bid now... DB was well over 100 a seat, ours probably will be too... Why bid 50, 100, 200 or more now and set the bar ridiculously high out the gate... Jarvis, I think you are safe with your bid... :D

I'm just going to give it a couple weeks to shake out, then make a bid.. Whats wrong with that?!?!?!?! :D

I know this is going to a good cause, and I will be getting 2 seats.. I'll make a move on the board when the time is right.. Till then, get off my back geez... :lol: 8)

Make sure I undertand this...

We are bidding for a number to pick your seat? (so if everyone bid 100 and we bid last we are basically screwed at getting a chance to get the seat of our choice right?)

The bid isnt for a particular seat but for a place in line? (this is kinda like my first question lol)

We are bidding for one seat? (but get 2 admission tickets)

if its like the led zepplin one, the seats were given out based on which seat the highest bidders from the highest to lowest bidder picked. For example of someone bidded the highest doesnt mean they automatically get the front seat, they may pick the last seat and by the time the lowest/last bidder get to pick a seat, well their seat would already have been picked which could be the crappiest seat in the house! I actually dont know which seat I would pick if I was a in say the top 4 bidders...

Thats the way I took it .... The lower on the totem pole you are, the crappier( which I dont think any seat will be crappy on this one) seat you get....

Leftovers if you will... :lol: warm, crusty leftovers.. :lol:

Ok guys just got word the bid isnt live right now so any bid made right now will dissapear the following morning. Which is probably why there is no link on the actual intimidator website...

All-

We will announce the auction going live on FB and Twitter, in addition to a press release, so if you aren't a fan or following, become one now.

You do have the ability to begin your bid low and then "Update your Bid." The auction is not similar to the ebay style of "maximum" bids. What you bid is what you pay if you win. Make sense?

I hope everyone had a very happy holiday season and I look forward to seeing you all for the 2010 season!

Warm regards,

Dani Swords
