Charity Auction - Football tickets
Options
Hi,
I'm running in the 2012 London Marathon and have been contacting local companies, restaurants, etc to ask for donations or items I could auction off for my chosen charity - Arthritis Care. I've written to my local football team and also the ones in my area (South East England). I got a bit carried away and ended up writing to every Premiership football club and have actually had a response !
Stoke City FC have very kindly donated two tickets for their home match against Blackburn Rovers on Saturday 26th November (kick off 12:45). My problem is, I have no idea what to do with these tickets now !! Being "down South", I don't personally know any Stoke or Blackburn fans (everyone here is either a local club fan, or supports one of the "bigger" clubs like Man Utd, Liverpool, etc etc).
I've tried selling them on EBay but had the page pulled as apparently you're not allowed to sell football tickets on there. I've also tried contacting the South East UK branch of the Stoke Supporters Club and have left a message on fan forums.
Does anybody here know any Stoke or Blackburn fans who might be interested in the tickets ? I'd hate for them to go to waste after Stoke FC's kindness. Even if they only went for a couple of quid, at the end of the day, that's better than nothing !
By the way, I can be sponsored on http://www.justgiving.com/pete-richardson1973/
