KKFI Band Auction Features Local Talent
Thursday, 03/11/10 - Sunday, 03/21/10
HOW IT WORKS
Nearly 100 talented local entertainers have agreed to donate a two hour concert to be auctioned to the highest bidder. We schedule each act for 30 minutes during an appropriate music show. During that 30 minutes, listeners call in and bid. The high bidder works with the band or solo act to arrange for a two hour gig sometime during the next 12 months. This could be a birthday party, anniversary, block party, class reunion, or just for the heck of it party.
MINIMUM BIDS & MAJOR CREDIT/DEBIT CARDS
Minimum bids may vary depending on the act, but generally the bidding starts at $100 for solo acts and $200 for bands.
TELEPHONE NUMBER AND ADVANCE BIDDING
The number to call to bid during the shows is (888) 931-0901. Bids are taken during the scheduled 30 minutes that each act is showcased on KKFI. ALL BIDS MUST BE BY MAJOR CREDIT/DEBIT CARDS (MC, Visa, Discover, Am Express)! Provisions for "pay later" made only in rare circumstances.
ADVANCE BIDDING
We do accept advance bidding. If you wish to bid on a band but it occurs at a time that you are unable to listen or call, you can make an advance bid. Simply email Bill at KKFI (BillC@kkfi.org) and let us know your maximum bid. KKFI will serve as your agent, getting the band of your choice at as low a price as the bidding allows, and but no more than your stated maximum bid.
For Advance Bidding: BillC@kkfi.org
