Annual charity raffle returns in support of The Salvation Army.
Off the back of its successful inaugural campaign, RAC Arena’s Concert Superpass charity raffle will return to RAC Arena for 2025. For the price of just two barista coffees, one lucky winner will walk away with two tickets to every single concert on the 2025 calendar at Western Australia’s home of live entertainment.
The Arena’s annual raffle has raised more than $646,000 for its community partners since its inception in 2013, with this year’s fundraising drive once again supporting The Salvation Army.
Previously known as the Golden Ticket, the refreshed Concert Superpass prize includes two tickets to each concert in 2025, including the world premiere of Kylie Minogue’s highly anticipated 2025 ‘Tension Tour’, Childish Gambino, Katy Perry, Bryan Adams and Gracie Abrams, PLUS a $1,000 food and beverage voucher for use during the prize period. With more concerts to be announced in coming months, the winner takes home a year-long prize that can be enjoyed over and over! With the current 2024 pass holder enjoying a wide range of shows including Matchbox Twenty, Blink 182, Kane Brown, Take That, The Kid Laroi and Iron Maiden, this is one prize you don’t want to miss.
Last year’s campaign raised $56,000 for The Salvation Army, which supports Western Australians affected by the ongoing housing crisis and rising cost of living.
Brad Potter, Divisional Commander at The Salvation Army, said the funds raised enabled the organisation to provide 200 nights of crisis accommodation, 1,000 nutritious meals and 215 Christmas hampers.
Mr. Potter says, “The Salvation Army and RAC Arena share a commitment to supporting our community, especially during these challenging times. As living costs continue to rise, the demand on our services and need for support has surged. Our partnership with RAC Arena is crucial in expanding our ability to address this escalating distress, and offer vital assistance to those in need,” he said.
RAC Arena general manager Michael Scott shares this sentiment stating, “In these difficult times we’re honoured to be supporting The Salvation Army as they care for those in need within our community. Together with the generosity of the people of WA, we’re proud of the legacy that our long-standing partnership has achieved in aiding their tireless efforts. We have some really exciting announcements in the pipeline for 2025, so I wish best of luck to all who enter!”
Last year’s Concert Superpass winner, Kym Colotti, describes what an amazing experience it has been and continues to be. “I was so excited about attending blink-182 and Matchbox Twenty, it was amazing to see two bands I have been listening to for many years. I am also incredibly excited to see Hozier later this year!”
Her advice for next year’s winner? “Enjoy, embrace all genres of concerts to come, live, and dance within every moment,”
The raffle entry period will run from October 1 to November 12, 2024, with tickets just $10.
To purchase a Concert Superpass raffle ticket and go in the draw to win two tickets to each concert at the Arena for 12 months, head to RAC Arena’s website www.racarena.com.au from October 1.
