Making a kids dream come true..

[suzanne]

I feel a bit desperate posting this on here but I dont know what else to do.

My daughter is 16 yrs old and has been a HUGE WWE fan since she was tiny as her big brother was a fan of wrestling so she grew up watching it.

She is autistic and fanatic about Wade Barrett. I have tried so hard in the past to make her dreams come true. I bought front row seats at a ridiculous price last year but he walked past her and she cried for weeks   We have stood outside hotels in the rain for hours and I am just too bloody old to be doing that year after year.

There is an auction for charity with the winner meeting her idol

https://www.charitybuzz.com/catalog_items/491123

I cant afford to bid as high as its likely to go and it breaks my heart that I cant do this for her.

I am not asking for charity, I have satted into a UKIPT seat..I wish I could sell it but thats not an option so I am up for any suggestions to make this happen for my girl?

Suzanne there is a very small chance I might be able to help you here.

When I worked one of those things known as a job in media, one of my clients was WWE. I went about 5 times with them to WWE shows and some of my colleagues went and met people like Big show etc. It's been a long while since I've left but I still keep in touch with a few colleagues and I'll see if there is anything I can do to at least get an email to our client and see if they can somehow set this up. Long shot but there's a chance.

Suzanne, much like Greeky I have a long shot.

My Wife's younger brother was lost to cancer a few years ago and he had been granted a "make a wish" and that was to attend Wrestlemania.  Sadly he never made the date but some months later Vince Mac and the WWE "machine" contacted the family and paid for the older brother to go to Chicago to watch a show etc - I have to say they were fantastic at every point of contact.

I still have various contact details for people at WWE, happy to send some "fishing" emails if you want.  PM me if interested and I will get some details from you.

Suzanne I know absolute nothing about WWE, but like the boys say, its a good idea to try and get hold of a contact in his management/PR company.
I've done this a few times in the past with the record/film industry for various reasons and had some good outcomes.

Good luck!

Any idea how much the auction will go for ?

Will throw $500 in. You could sell %s to the ukipt at a really high markup- if the auction sells for $2500- only need to sell 50% of ukipt at cost of $50 per %. Obviously it's a high markup but I like idea of making kids dreams come true so will start ball rolling with $500 towards it, irrelevant of whether I have a % in ukipt or not.

Let me know

ya good justification for markup. IN for bowl amount due to having not much money. but good causes ftw.

I can't offer any help on a practical level Suz, but just wanted to say i've got everything crossed for you x

[leethefish]

I will certainly buy % in ukipt ....at a really high mark up if that's what you decide to do
Good luck Suzanne

This a a great idea.  I did a similar thing for the hospice where my dad was, sold at 2.0 and have people option to donate more - people very generous.  Great think with this is the auction is for charity anyway so it's win win if you get the right bid in. My thread is in staking - I only sold 30% from memory and made 2k for hospice.

[claypole]

Obviously if Greeky can make it happen nut option

[ForthThistle]

Sooo Hope this happens.

Good Luck Suz and WP Blonde.

I'm afraid I've got some badddd newssssss.

Actually no I haven't Gl Greeky. Maybe just try tweeting Wade directly? Worth a shot. They will be touring the UK later this month...
