What is Chinese auction?

Fundraiser's often use a Chinese auction format, which is a combination of a raffle and an auction (Its also known as penny social, tricky tray or pick-a-prize). Research indicates that it does not matter which method is used to raffle the tickets off, as all of these methods usually elicit about the same monetary return for the charity. What does matter is the quality of the buying experience and this is what people will ultimately pay for.

Can Broadway show producers give away free tickets?

Although Broadway show producers find that giving away Broadway tickets to charity can be both ethically rewarding and have a great public relations upside, it is also financially punishing for a show to do too much of it.. The logistics of giving away free tickets can be a tiresome burden, something that a show may not want to endure over the long term. Broadway show productions are very expensive to run and giving away free tickets only makes sense if the show has lots of excess ticket inventory (IE the show is not doing very well) or if the show is a huge success and wants to write off some of its profit gains. With the high cost of running a Broadway show, Broadway show producers stuck in the middle of the sales spectrum cannot easily afford to hand out free tickets to charities without it coming directly out of their own pocket. It is either top shows giving them away as tax write-offs or bottom shows trying to garner some interest and momentum, all the shows in between will pass.#N#When producers do give out free tickets to charities, they tend to do it with a handful of charities they are already aligned with, most notably Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS (BC/EFA). Producers just cannot accommodate the multitudes of other charities out there who are requesting donations for their good causes. Frankly, given how few Broadway shows actually manage to attain that coveted smash-hit status, or even break even, you could say that most Broadway shows are charity cases themselves, because most Broadway shows are actually money-losing ventures. Any charity asking for free tickets should actually be donating food and money to the show itself, as most artists and show producers are often seen eating Ramen noodles for breakfast, lunch and dinner and often seen sleeping in the theatre as they cannot afford the sky-high rents of NYC. It is rumored that Broadway show playwrights can often be found lurking around the dark back alley ways of the Port Authority Bus Terminal just to make ends meet.#N#Ironically, the Broadway shows that are huge hits (and that could actually afford to give away tickets for free) are sold out so far in advance that there are scarcely any tickets available to give away anyway, unless the producer holds back some extra tickets specifically for this task. Even to that extent, the value of the tickets are so high that the show investors often complain if the show gives away tickets to any other charity than the ones that the Broadway industry is already aligned with. Broadway producers are besieged by requests every week from all kinds of charities asking for donations and after a while it becomes tedious dealing with all the requests that they get. Broadway producers should be focused on running their show, not dealing with all the unpaid charity administration as there is no profit in it for them, or their investors.
