Thanks to the organizers of the event. It’s such a huge success each year that it gets more and more crowded!
Maybe you should reconsider the raffle prizes. It seems like many people are not “satisfied” with their prizes, especially with the airline tickets, as they get on the KAUST for sale soon after. I’m thinking that maybe a voucher from an airline would be more suitable?
Unfortunately all the airline ticket prizes are near useless. There are many hidden restrictions, and the amount of tax you have to pay out of your own pocket for them is usually more than the full cost of the same flight path with a different airline. Meaning it is actually cheaper to buy a fresh ticket than to use your prize. Hence why everyone sells them.
Also the tickets advertised as ‘to anywhere in the world’ really only mean to a very limited number of valid destinations.
