The occasion is only the beginning.
Past collections have featured the Masters, Kentucky Derby, and major championship weekends. Tell us what your guests would enjoy most, from the sporting occasion itself to the hospitality around it.
Tell us the event and year you have in mind so we can discuss available packages.
Compare the actual inclusions.
Ticket location, session or day, party access, hotel nights, and transfers can materially change a package. Make those details visible before bidding. Do not assume airfare, player access, or a particular seat unless it is specifically confirmed.
- Identify the event year and exact date.
- Confirm the ticket or hospitality category.
- Review transferability, booking deadlines, and delivery arrangements.
Build a collection with range.
A sports experience can anchor a collection without defining every lot. Pair it with memorabilia or travel options that appeal to other interests in the room. OFG can discuss a selection that fits the guests, your format, and the fundraising goals.
“VIP” should describe actual inclusions.
A sporting occasion can mean very different things to different bidders. Replace broad labels with the precise experience being offered.
| Element | What the bidder needs to know |
|---|---|
| Admission | Event, date or date-selection process, number of guests, and ticket or pass category. |
| Viewing experience | Seating or access description, whether seats are together, and any important limitations. |
| Hospitality | The named hospitality elements and timing; do not assume food, drinks, transport, or special access are included. |
| Travel | Any accommodation or transfers, along with what the winner books and pays for separately. |
| Ticket handover | How and when admission is delivered, plus any transfer or identification requirements. |
Think about the fan’s whole weekend.
A major sporting event may require more planning than the headline suggests. Guests may need to arrange travel, coordinate work or family commitments, and understand the distances between accommodation, hospitality, and the venue. Those details can affect whether a package is right for the room.
OFG’s past offerings have included experiences around the Masters, Kentucky Derby, and major championship weekends. Treat those as examples of the category rather than a promise that a particular event, date, or access level is available now. The proposed package should supply the precise details your guests will see.
Choose for the supporters in your room.
Use audience interest and practical fit together when reviewing a sports experience.
- Look for demonstrated interest in the sport, team, or occasion rather than relying only on its fame.
- Check whether fixed dates suit your event audience and leave time for travel planning.
- Consider whether the package is for a pair, a family, or a group; do not assume extra guests can be added.
- Compare the starting amount with other lots aimed at the same bidders.
- Confirm the policy for event changes, postponement, cancellation, and package substitutions.
Pair experiences with a different way to participate.
A sports experience and a signed piece can appeal to the same interest while offering different kinds of purchase. One asks the winner to travel or attend on a date; the other may be displayed and enjoyed at home. A balanced collection can acknowledge both without filling the auction with near-identical lots.
When you inquire, tell us which sports or teams matter to your guests, where they will be traveling from, and whether the item is intended for silent or live bidding. We can discuss current options and the documentation needed for your catalog.
