Fairyhouse race sponsorship for sale on Ebay

Fairyhouse racecourse is selling the sponsorship of a race at this month's Winter Festival on the auction website Ebay.


The two mile, three-year-old Juvenile Hurdle is the first race on the card on Sunday November 30th.

Sponsorship of the race is on the market for an opening bid of '49.99. Bidding will finish on the Monday November 24th at 19.43.

The successful bid will be allowed name the race, will present the trophy to the winning connections and will receive 10 entrance tickets to racing on the day.

The race name appears in all national newspapers including industry papers such as the Racing Post and the Irish Field and will be shown live on At The Races.

Commenting on the new sponsorship approach Amber Byrne, Sales and Marketing Manager at Fairyhouse Racecourse said "This is a new initiative for Fairyhouse Racecourse; we hope that by selling a race sponsorship on Ebay it will broaden race sponsorship appeal.

"It is open to anyone apart from bookmakers as it will conflict with our feature sponsors Bar One Racing. The race could go to a company or to someone looking for a novel way to propose or wish a family member happy birthday. It is a bit of fun but will hopefully serve its purpose and attract a new sponsorship audience to Fairyhouse.

"There is a perception that racecourse sponsorship is very expensive but in fact it is an extremely cost effect form of marketing for any company. In tough economic times race sponsorship ticks all the marketing campaign boxes and works within the tightest of budgets."

The Fairyhouse Winter Festival takes place on November 29th and 30th and features three Grade One Races.318

Sold for €1,511. Not a bad price for the buyer. It's a grade three and the 10 tickets alone are worth about €250 I'd say. Was going to buy it myself for the syndicate business but have another one already. Bid up to €800 and stopped then. Pity as the coverage that day will be great. Even RTE would have it as a replay with you company name in lights in the result.

Tonic. Tote rang me today and offered me 2x tickets to fairyhouse. It's to go to a suite they have there with "drink, finger food etc" she said. She's posting them out tomorrow to me, but I am moving house this weekend and if you want them pm me you're number and I can fire them out to you..

If you don't want them then I'll offer them to the first member of the syndicate who does and if no one wants them there the first who wants them after. I wish I could go but I can't.
