I have never been involved in the selling of raffle tickets for quilts, but I have bought a fair number over the years.

- Locally independent quilt shops will sell raffle tickets, for quilt raffles within about a 60 mile radius.
- Most guilds will sell tickets at other guilds, shows
- If I see a raffle quilt on display I am much more likely to purchase a ticket.
- A few years ago a quilt was made as a fundraiser for a local sports team. I think soccer, anyways, one of the team members had a link to a popular restaurant and they were able to display the quilt there. Lots of tickets were sold that way.
- If there is a Farmer's Market in town, have a booth and sell tickets there, or ask if you can display the quilt in someone else's booth and sell tickets.
- Local theatres will sometimes let you sell tickets, if they perceive it to be for a good cause.
- If the quilt has a sports theme or would suit boys to men, see about displaying it and selling tickets at amateur sporting events.
- Can you sell tickets at local churches?
