Twestival Home

We owe a big bunch of thanks to Dubai Metro and Dubai RTA who offered us a chance of a lifetime. Thanks to the enterprising efforts of @wildpeeta and @peymanparham, RTA stepped up to give us the ‘Golden Pass’ which is a chance to experience the first ride at the launch Dubai Metro on 09.09.09. This Golden Pass was auctioned live on Twitter and all proceeds will be donated to our supported charity, Dubai Autism Center (@DubaiAutism).

The live auction took place on Twitter on Monday, 7 September 2009 with several of Dubai’s twitteratis bidding for this remarkable chance. Going by the frenzied DMs and RTs flying back and forth, the interest was immense. Bids were quickly being topped up with the final bid at AED 1,000 for the Golden Pass.

The winner of the Golden Pass auction is Samer Constantini (@scostantini) – huge thanks for supporting Dubai Twestival Local and Congratulations! We hope you enjoy the ride tomorrow and we look forward to meeting you as well as reading your tweets about this exclusive lifetime opportunity.

Thanks a heap to the rest of you for taking part with your enthusiastic bids. We can’t wait to see you on Saturday!
