50/50 Cash Draw
|
 |
Just like a pre-match pint in the Social Club, buying your match
day programme or filling up with a hot meat and potato pie,
the 50/50 Cash Draw is an important part of the match day experience
at York City Football Club.
What is it?
The 50/50 Cash Draw is the football club’s official match
day raffle and gives supporters the chance to win a significant
amount of cash. A prize of just under £300 was the average
in the 2006/7 season.
How does it work?
 |
Buy your tickets before the game. They cost
£1 each and you can buy as many as you like. |
|
Listen to the announcement of the result
from the draw by the special guest on the pitch at half
time. |
|
If you are the winner, collect your prize
from the lottery / programme desk in the Club Shop after
the game (unless instructed otherwise) |
It’s easy.
Who can enter?
We aim to sell tickets to supporters in all areas of
the ground, including the away supporters, sponsors and boardroom
guests. However, entrants to the 50/50 Cash Draw must be over
the age of 16 years old.
Where can I buy a ticket?
There is a committed team of 50/50 ticket sellers who
turn out in all weathers to ensure that you can buy your tickets.
From around 90 minutes before kick off, they are predominantly
situated in the car park just beyond the Club Shop. Other sellers
can be found just beyond the turnstiles at the ‘home’
end of the ground, wandering around the hospitality suites and
in the Social Club in the hour before kick off. Look out for
the bright yellow bibs with ‘50/50 Cash Draw’ across
the chest!
Why should I enter?
Every penny is vital in York City’s battle to regain a
place in the Football League. By supporting the 50/50 Cash Draw
you could be contributing to raising around £8,000 per
season to help that cause. At the same time, you are giving
yourself and fellow football fans the chance to win a bundle
of cash which could pay for a holiday, buy Christmas presents
or even buy your York City season ticket for the following season!
Can I help?
We are always keen to hear from potential new 50/50
sellers to enable us to sell in other areas of the ground or
provide cover for the absence of other sellers at certain games.
If you are interested in offering 60-90 minutes of your time
on match days, please see the contact details below.
What’s new?
In the 2007/8 season, the 50/50 Cash Draw will also become a
feature of Reserve and Youth matches being played at Bootham
Crescent. Although the cash prize is obviously not going to
be as substantial, it will still be worth the ‘investment’
of buying a £1 ticket.
In recent years, cinema tickets and vouchers for pizzas have
been handed out as consolation prizes. In the 2007/8 season,
a hot pizza and bottle of cola is being delivered at half time
by Domino’s Pizza at Clifton Moor as a runners-up prize.
The winner of this prize needs to come and collect this prize
during the half time interval or it will quickly find an alternative
home!
In future there will also be more special runners-up prizes
at selected games. For example, at the Cambridge United game
in August 2007, club sponsors and suppliers, Country Products
from Tockwith, donated a hamper of their dried fruit and nut
products as a prize.`
Even if you don’t win a prize, keep your ticket safe,
as it now includes a 20% discount voucher for Domino’s
Pizza at Bishopthorpe Road or Clifton Moor in York. The value
of your discount will probably be greater than the cost of your
50/50 ticket. So, everyone is now a winner!
There will now be a greater level of communication between the
50/50 Cash Draw and the supporters (including away fans). Look
out for more posters around the ground, messages in the match
programme and articles on this website.
