If you can't make it to 8Fest on Thursday, you can still have a chance at winning something. You can purchase raffle tickets online for the following 4 items: --Playstation FIFA 2004 game --Fire autographed pennant --2004 Fire team autographed blue and white soccer ball --SmallBar Open bar parties -- 4 people, 2 hours -- we will be awarding two of these Tickets are $10 for 5 tickets or $20 for 15 tickets. You can send a paypal order to liam@section8chicago.com. Please indicate how many tickets you would like to apply to the items. For example, you purchase 15 tickets - put 5 on SmallBar party, 3 on the ball, 4 on the pennant and 3 on the game, or put all 15 on the party. the more tickets you buy and put on a prize, the better chance you have of winning. This also keeps you from winning anything you don't really want. You must purchase your raffle tickets by 11:59 pm Wednesday night. Of course, if you can't make it, you miss out on a couple dozen other items that we will have.
