Ultimatum fund raising idea!!

hey Ultimaniacs, robert asked me to post this! looking to see if anyone would be interested here.this is not confirmed.we are just throwing this idea out to our fans to see if anyone would be interested.pls message me here. as you all know we are planning an east coast trip and trying desperately to get the needed funds for the airfares.so,this is where i need your help!! how many of you would be interested if Ultimatum offered a meet/greet prior and after our show in Allentown,pa? $40.00 would give a fan a poster,tshirt,cd,8x10 and a chance to sit in on the sound check and a chance to hang out with the band afterwards for pictures and autographs?? i will post all details if this idea goes over well with all of u.i dont want to plan something and then plans fall thru.this is why i am asking anyone who is interested to drop me a little note.thanks for all your loyal support,sherri promotional manager to Ultimatum

I would probably do that if they were playing on the west coast.

Not to poo-poo on the parade, but doesn't the band already hang out with the fans? ult is salt of the earth kind of people and I'm positive he would hang out with fans if they wanted to...sans moolah.

ah yeah....I forgot that Ultimatum isnt like most bands.

Can't see it being a winner, and honestly since it is a meet and greet that rules alot of us out due to our locations, I'm not trying to be harsh on the guys I just think that people need to think about it more, fair dues to Ultimatum for sticking it out for so long doing what they love and they've outlasted a lot of bands and released a number of albums at the same time.

Also and in reality how many people from the board here will be at the gig in PA ? I don't mean the "have to see what the finances are like" people, I mean solid numbers, as I think that anyone who would arrive up at the show and make themselves known to the band from here would be welcomed with open arms.

If cash is needed then try offering something cool and limited (I mean I'd purchase a Promo Pack from you but not one of these), Signed CDs don't work because Ultimatum will sign any CDs for you if you ask and send them the Covers (something other bands wont do so easily, I probably wont have to worry about getting anything else signed by them after this post )

locky,my point in posting this.just merely an idea..just throwing it out there.you have alot of great insite.i thank you for that and everyone for their imput! noone in the band is going to hold anything against anyone for any ideas/suggestions offered here.so,keep them commin a little longer everyone,thanks

Probably doing a concert shirt of that event? And doing pre-sales?

Yup. We pretty much do that already. Generally, we are out in the audience watching the other bands perform with everyone else.

Nothing wrong with selling a t-shirt, CD, photos, etc., to raise money, but the "meet and greet" thing is best saved for rock stars.

Doing a special shirt that is exclusive to that night's performance might be kinda cool.
