One million dollars is up for grabs to any fan who purchases tickets to both days of the AUS-X Open Sydney event on November 11 and 12, at the Qudos Bank Arena in one of the richest prizes ever offered to Australian sports attendees.
Event organisers today announced the ‘AUS-X Million’, which is a huge incentive for fans to purchase 2-day tickets to the 2017 AUS-X Open event – with $1Million up for grabs to any 2-day ticket holder who correctly guesses the order of the Top-12 Supercross finishers in the SX1 FINAL of both Saturday and Sunday’s feature races.
Internationally renowned motorcycle stuntman and Freestyle Motocross icon Robbie Maddison says it’s the most insane fan incentive he’s ever come across throughout his illustrious career around the world.
“This is nuts! Anyone who purchases tickets to both nights of the the AUS-X Open could walk away a millionaire!” Maddison exclaimed.
“If there was any greater incentive for fans new and old to come check out all the AUS-X Open action, I’d like to hear it!”
Ticket holders can win the ‘AUS-X Million’ by correctly selecting the Top-12 finishers, in order, in each SX1 FINAL across both nights at the AUS-X Open.
$500,000 is up for grabs for individual day ticket holders who pick the Top-12 place getters in the correct order, in the SX1 Final on either Saturday or Sunday nights.
The prize pool is shared should there be multiple winners on either or both nights. Any ticket holder that can guess correctly for both nights SX1 Final will walk away with their share of the million.
Event Co-Founder – Ryan Sanderson claims the ‘AUS-X Million’ is an Australian first and is the event’s way of giving back to the dedicated fans who have supported the AUS-X Open since its inception in 2015.
“We’re absolutely ecstatic to be able to announce the ‘AUS-X Million’ today and give each and every one of our attendees a shot at a life changing One Million Dollars, at no extra cost, just by purchasing any ticket to both nights of this year’s event.” Sanderson stated.
“Our team here at AUS-X Open have worked tirelessly for over two years to get this amazing competition across the line and it wouldn’t be possible without the massive support of our loyal fans who make the pilgrimage to Sydney each year. We feel like offering them this opportunity, is just reward for their loyalty to the event.”
“The atmosphere is going to be electric across both nights of the AUS-X Open and fans have yet another reason to cheer for their favourite Supercross riders to finish in the order they selected. We can’t wait to see if a ticket holder can win $500,000 or the ‘AUS-X Million’, it certainly would be a very special experience to witness.”
