We are now just a little over a month away from the return of Notre Dame Football. Of course, this means that it is time to fire up our annual charity ticket auction once again.
This year, we have an incredible slate of games available for bidding:
- Texas (2)
- Section 1, Row 44, Seats 11 & 12
- Georgia Tech (2)
- Section 17, Row 58, Seats 17 & 18
- Southern Cal (4!)
- Section 13, Row 43, Seats 13 & 14
- Section 23, Row 11, Seats 1 & 2
- Boston College @Fenway Park (2)
- Section L37, Row 24, Seats 26 & 27
I think it’s safe to say that this year’s auction is going to be our biggest one yet. The secondary market for Texas alone has hit levels that last year’s ND/Michigan game could only dream of. The Shamrock Series extravaganza at Fenway Park has also skyrocketed to crazy levels as well.
Simply put, this may just be your best chance to get tickets at a not-so-absurd price. However, we would like to highly encourage you kind souls to push the price to those levels as this is for charity and not someone’s bottom line.
As always, 100% of the auction will go to charity. Notre Dame’s general scholarship will be the recipient of the funds as usual, with exception of the Southern Cal tickets.
This year, we are using the funds from the sale of those tickets to help a friend of Bayou Irish out. His friend, Sarah Bascle, is a Notre Dame alumna with a son, Liam, suffering from a brain tumor. Liam has had one hell of a fight thus far, which you can read about at this blog that Sarah and her husband, Nick, maintain. We here at HLS are happy to put up the Southern Cal tickets to help Liam in his fight. If you’d like to donate directly, you can do so via this GoFundMe (which is where 100% of the sale of the Southern Cal tickets will go).
Y’all have already come together as a ND family to help out the son of some good friends of my wife and I, Aven (whom has been doing quite well in his battle with leukemia). I know we can do so again, and this time, you can benefit with tickets to a ND game!
If you are interested in bidding on the tickets, please use the form below. Make sure to include the tickets that you want to bid on (feel free to bid on multiple!) as well as your bid. If you are bidding on Southern Cal, please make sure that you note whether you are bidding on just a single pair or all four tickets. If a bid for four tickets beats the combination of the bids for the single pair, the four-ticket bid will win. Otherwise, we will award the tickets in single pairs.
The biding for all tickets will close Friday, August 14 at 5:00pm ET.
Best of luck and GO IRISH!
Please note, that we would love to give you a tax write off for this, but we won’t be able to. Simply put, it would get far too complicated and the last thing we want to do is screw it up and get you (or us) in hot water with the IRS.
