I was just informed by the organisers that I have a complimentary ticket to Invest X Congress which is happening on 14 June (Saturday) and that I could give it away to anyone I want since I won't be in the audience. I could give it away to a lucky reader too, of course.
However, I thought about it for a while and I think it won't be fair to readers who bought tickets to the event if I were to give my ticket away for free. So, to be fair, this is what I have decided to do:

| Hmmmm.... |
The early bird offer of $79.00 a ticket to the event has ended. However, if anyone is interested in attending the event and who has yet to buy a ticket could make a bid for my ticket. Minimum bid is $79.00. Just leave a comment here in my blog with your bid. The highest bid will get the ticket. (Er, please remember that the regular price is $99.00 a ticket. Don't go overboard.)
Depending on the response, I could close the bidding process really quickly or let it run for a week.
The money from the sale of this ticket will be donated to a charity of my choice and I shall furnish proof of this donation at a later date. This is in line with one of the objectives of the event and that is to be charitable.
Thank you and I look forward to seeing you at the event. Cheong ah!

The winning bid amount all go to the charity!
That was awesome!
Though I can't attend as I am overseas. I think there are still lots of ppl who will support AK and bid for his ticket. Maybe you can value-add it by signing on the tix! haha
Hi Amos,
Thanks for the encouragement. :)
I see this as a chance for anyone who missed out on the early bird price to get a discount on the regular price of $99 a ticket. ;)
Well, there is no bid yet. So, it could be that all who could go for the event have already bought tickets. In such a case, we will just let the ticket go unclaimed. :)
$79 bidded
Hi K,
Thanks for the bid. :)
80 my bid for yr ticket
Hi Unknown,
Thanks for your bid. :)
Hi, I will bid at 88. My Thailand trip has been cancelled and was prepared to buy at the regular price. Now better still, got discount n also for a good cause.
Hi KP,
Wow! This is indeed a fortunate coincidence. :)
I will let this run for another day and if there is no higher bid, the ticket is yours.
Very auspicious bid too, $88. Huat huat! ;p
Hi AK, I like to bid for $99. :)
Hi Seth,
Wow! That is the ticket's regular price. Looks like you are not interested in a discount but more interested in how the money is going to charity. I think I shall close the bidding process now. :)
Please email me and I will provide you with more details. ak71@sillypore.com
Thank you very much. :)
Hi Seth,
I should have also said that you could contact me on Facebook if you have an account. They have a nifty messaging function.
Facebook is still a new and exciting thing for me. ;p

do you know how many seats are left? It says only 400 seats which I presumed would be snapped up pretty fast? But it worries me to see that it is still not full yet after so long
Hi Janson,
When I met the organisers more than a week ago, I was informed that more than 300 tickets were sold. I guess there could still be a few tickets left now.
However, I was told that the venue is big enough to add another 100 seats, if required. :)
