Seat categories are Standard, Preferred, VIP and VVIP. VVIP seats are subject to protocol and to who attends on the night.
Every level funds a seedling at about USD 0.77
Divide any level’s contribution by its seedlings and the answer is the same, so a larger level is more of the same planting, not a different price.
Seats grow faster than the price
Two seats at Entry become ten at Strategic, and the seat mix moves from Standard to Preferred, VIP and VVIP.
Moving up is allowed
You can move to a higher level at any time before 3 December. Seats and spaces are allocated in the order of confirmation.
