Wil, u think thats a good thing? So I have to donate $1000 to get a ticket? How bout instead those millionares donate $1000.....wilheim said:Kudos to Jermaine. The Pats are doing something similar.
FOXBORO, Mass. -- The New England Patriots are adding a little incentive in their drive to collect money for victims of the South Asian tsunami.
Those who donate $1,000 or more to the tsunami fund through the New England Patriots Charitable Foundation will receive tickets to the Jan. 16 playoff game at Gillette Stadium. As many as 200 tickets are available for donors.
One playoff ticket will be provided for each $1,000 contributed before 5 p.m. EST on Jan. 12. Contributions will continue to be accepted through Jan. 30.
The Patriots, who have a first-round bye, will play either Indianapolis, San Diego or the New York Jets on Jan. 16.
Contributions can made through www.patriots.com.

wil, i dont want to go to the game, what im saying is it sounds like u guys are giving all kinds of credit to the patriots for taking "our" money and donating it.....wilheim said:Sherman it is for millionaires no one expect normal working guys to donate a grand. If you wanted a ticket bad enough you would have did the stay up all night in line thing and pay face value. The Pats are donating the money (up to $200,000) for the 200 tickets to a very worthy cause. You also could try to scalp a ticket on game day outside Gillette for less than $1000 or put an add in the paper "ticket wanted" and see what happens. Even E-bay might have a few for sale. Get creative son.

but could they sell them for $1000 each?wilheim said:Sherm they could easily sell the 200 tickets and put the money in their coporate pockets. This way a nice peice of change goes to help the victims of a terrrible diaster.

You dont get it Wil......let's say the NFl allows them to sell these tickets for $200 each...they make $40,000wilheim said:Sherman are you OK? What difference does it make what they sell the tickets for if they are not donating the money. This is a charitable act by a corporation, the money will most likely come from other coporations and the rich. Try to trust me when I say it is at least not a bad thing.
Have a good night, wil.

He is actually matching the HIGHEST contribution dollar for dollar, not total. Very good gesture though, no matter what by all involved.parlayinnn said:O'Neal is one of 7 players to do it. Highly doubt it was HIS idea, but probably his agent's. 7 of arn tellem's players are doing it and tellem is matching the total contribution dollar for dollar
