I have purchased many a raffle ticket and also been in charge of raffles and the number that seems to make people buy them are 6 tickets for $5.00. Or one ticket for $1.00. When we have done that people that can't afford a lot will buy what they can 1 or 2 tickets or some have paid $10.00 for 12 chances. AND the raffle is much better than an regular auction. My 2 cents worth.

I think you would sell more tickets for less (what about $3 or 2/$5?) I think in long run you would make more. People would rather get more for their money. What differece does it make to you how many tickets they get for $5. They think they have more chances to win, but we know differently, don't we? Only one will win no matter what you charge.

I just went to a quilt show and they had a raffle for a Civil War quilt and the tickets were 5/$6 or $1 a piece. I took one chance and didn't win.

I would think that assuming the beauty of the quilt, and who your potential ticket buyers are, would set the price. Who are in your target audience? Good luck!

For several years in a row, we sold raffle tickets for a quilt, we sold them for $5 each or 5 for $20 for a scholorship fund. We raised about $2000 each year.

I vote for selling the tickets for a cheaper price. As someone else said, 2 for 5 dollars sounds like you aare getting more for your money. People might spend more if they think they are getting more.

Normally I would pay $10 for 3 tickets! With things a little tighter now, maybe $2 a ticket and maybe 3 for $5? I'm a gambler and at that price, I would probably think what a great deal it was and buy the 6 tickets for the $10!!!! Just sayin.....
