Auction Rules & Procedures
UPON ARRIVAL
Into the Blue( ITB) begins at 6:30 p. m. Upon arrival, guests should go to their dinner table where an ITB Concierge will supply a pre-assigned bid number and assist with Text2Bid( see Text2Bid) and qCheck( see qCheck Credit Card Registration) if necessary. The bid number serves as a personal identification number for bidding on all auction features, including the Live and Silent auctions,“ Beyond the Blue” parties, and Drawings. PLEASE USE ONLY THE BID NUMBER ASSIGNED TO YOU.
SILENT AUCTIONS, BEYOND THE BLUE PARTIES, AND DRAWINGS
The Silent Auctions, Beyond the Blue Parties, and Drawings will open for bidding / purchase at 6:30 p. m. and will close at 10:30 p. m. Bids for the silent auction items and straight purchases for the Beyond the Blue Parties and Drawings will be placed using your smart phone, mobile device, or one of the supplied kiosks using the Text2Bid software( see below). For all Silent Auction items, the top bidder will win. If an item has multiples, they will be listed as separate items to be bid upon separately.( For example, there are two sets of four front row seats for the Spring Show. Each set of four seats has its own item number and is bid upon separately.)
