Our guild would do $1 per ticket or 6 for $5. Lots of people would but tickets for $10 and $20 but this would give people an option to buy just one ticket. Guild member would sell the tickets ahead of the fundraiser and the day of the fundraiser. The quilts would always raise at least $800-$1000.

Our guild would have a difficult time selling $5.00 tickets no matter what the charity that the money is going to. To the average buyer purchasing a ticket is about winning the item The $1 or $2 ticket price catches all the people that would not open their wallets. Selling multiples in addition to the lower price like 6/$5 or 3/$5 etc. ups the psychological "chance of winning" and people will then think their chance to win is higher and will pay more for the multiple tickets. The goal is to raise as much as possible and although the $5 ticket might be a fair price, in our area we would have lower sales.

This is for a mission trip that my daughter is going on with a group of students from Liberty University. It is expensive and we need to make as much as possible.

Your thoughts?

our goal was. Perhaps this would help you decide. Good luck.

I love buying raffle tickets and I have been known to spend as much as $20 on a ticket, but that was for a veterans group fundraiser. Make a picture of your quilt to show people as you ask them to buy tickets, it helps if they can see what they're gambling on. Good luck and best wishes for your daughters mission trip.

I buy raffle tickets but don’t want to win. As beautiful as a raffles quilt is I don’t want anyone else’s quilt. If I won I’d be gracious of course and then find another home for it. I’ve paid $5 and $1 and usually by 5 because it is always a good cause

I find it interesting that even thought the OP posted the question 9 years ago, the answers are pretty much the same.
I think the max I would pay for a single raffle ticket is $10. However, I did buy $30 worth of tickets at $5 each for a specific quilt that I thought was drop-dead gorgeous. I didn't win it.
