About The Tickets
You are bidding on up to five (5) side-by-side seats to see Sigur Ros at The Chicago Theatre. This is a SOLD OUT concert, and Richard Marx has donated the tickets he purchased for the concert. This is a great opportunity to see one of Richard's favorite groups while benefiting one of his favorite charities.
The tickets are priced individually, so, if you are the winner, you will be pay the final sales price multiplied by the number of tickets won, plus a 10% buyer's premium.
Here's a personal note from Richard about the Auction:
Hey gang,
I became a big fan of the band Sigur Ros from Iceland about 2 years ago, and had the great pleasure of seeing them perform live at the Lyric Opera House in Chicago on their last tour. I got tickets for the Chicago date of their current tour, only to find myself having to travel to Los Angeles on the same day as the show, September 24. I was about to return the tickets for a refund when I had the idea of auctioning them to the highest bidder, with all proceeds going to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
I'll also throw in a signed copy of the "Duo" CD by myself and Matt Scannell. Aside from seeing an amazing show at the beautiful Chicago Theatre, you'll be contributing to helping find a cure for a horrific disease.
I hope you'll bid on the auction, and I wish you all the best of luck. As for me, I'm so crazy about Sigur Ros I'm flying to another city on their tour to catch the show later in the month.
Thanks and take care,
RM
Buyer's Premium
This auction includes a 10 percent Buyer's Premium. A Buyer's Premium is an additional fee charged by our auction partner, BusinessHere Inc., to defray the costs of operating this site. It is added to the final bid price and is payable by the buyer to BusinessHere as part of the final sale price. The bid price that you see will be net of the 10% Buyer's Premium, which will be added to the final bid price to arrive at the selling price.
The following example illustrates how the Buyer's Premium is calculated. If an item sells with the final bid price of $250, then the selling price will be $275 ($250 plus a 10 percent Buyer's Premium of $25) for each ticket purchased.
