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 .

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 .
