To celebrate its 20th anniversary, Arqana will introduce a brand-new initiative at the August Sale, which runs from August 15-17. The 20th Anniversary Golden Ticket initiative will take place during Arqana's opening session on Saturday, August 15.
The 80-lot opening session will see 10 lots randomly selected in advance, and those lots will be associated with a €30,000 Golden Ticket. The voucher will be awarded to the purchaser of the selected lot, provided it is sold in the ring. It will take the form of a €30,000 credit to be used towards a second purchase made during the August Sale.
To determine the 10 randomly selected lots, the draw will take place under the supervision of a judicial officer at Arqana's offices on Saturday, August 15. All 10 Golden Ticket lots will remain confidential until they enter the ring to sell. Then, an announcement will be made live during each €30,000 Golden Ticket lot.
Arqana president Olivier Delloye said, “Since its inception, Arqana has always sought to innovate in the best interests of its clients. As we celebrate our 20th anniversary, the August Sale provides the perfect opportunity to reward the loyalty of our buyers with an original initiative.
“In that spirit, we have decided to introduce 10 €30,000 Golden Tickets during the opening session. This initiative will reward those buyers active on Saturday evening, who will once again have every chance of discovering a future champion such as Sottsass, Look de Vega or Balantina, all recent Group 1 winners who were catalogued on the first day of the sale.”
