❓ FAQs About HGA Trips
📝 Can I change the item type?
Yes! Trips can be marked as Silent, Live, EventStream, or Quantity. Using Quantity allows multiple people to purchase the same trip.
🎯 Can we sell a trip more than once?
Absolutely! Just inform your auctioneer if you're doing this during a live event.
🌍 What’s the difference between a Passport and Single Trip?
-
Single Trip: The experience is a specific location.
-
Passport Trip: The bidder chooses from multiple destinations within a theme (Vacation, Euro, Golf, etc.)
💰 Can I adjust the starting bid or increment?
Yes. We recommend a starting bid at least 25% above your cost to ensure profitability.
You’re responsible for the full trip cost even if the item sells below that amount.
🛑 What if the trip doesn’t sell?
No problem—there’s no cost if the item goes unsold.
🎟️ What are Golden Ticket Trips?
These are raffle items with destination flexibility.
-
$100 Golden Ticket = Cost $2,495
-
$250 Golden Ticket = Cost $3,995
Your goal is to sell enough tickets to cover the cost. Anything beyond that is profit.
📆 Are there time limits for booking?
Yes. Most trips:
-
Must be booked 60+ days in advance
-
Are valid for 24 months
-
Include blackout dates and booking restrictions noted in the item template
