It was a huge surprise that made headlines far beyond the city limits: Last Saturday, superstar Ed Sheeran suddenly stood in front of the marquee at Frankfurt's Oktoberfest after his sold-out concert at Deutsche Bank Park. Here, the singer made a small stage appearance, performing his Backstreet Boys hit "Everybody" as well as his mega ballad "Perfect." And of course, the likeable singer-songwriter also enjoyed the good atmosphere in the marquee and the tasty festival beer from Binding.
Now fans have the opportunity to bid for the very Masskrug that Ed Sheeran drank from and also held in his hand during his spontaneous concert on the Oktoberfest stage. The auction on Ebay, which you can find HERE, serves a good purpose: The proceeds will go to the construction of a school in the Dominican Republic, a project of the non-profit Reiner Meutsch Foundation Fly & Help, which is committed to education and upbringing of children and young people worldwide. Information about the foundation and the project is available at www.fly-and-help.de
"The minimum bid of 1.000 euros has already been accepted, now it would of course be great if the price for this exclusive souvenir would still go up properly," says Kai Mann, co-organizer of the Frankfurt Oktoberfest. "Currently, one euro per ticket sold goes to Fly & Help, and we'd like to increase the resulting sum even further with a whopping profit from the Sheeran stein sale." The auction will run until 10 a.m. Oct. 7. "Raise what the stuff holds," appeals Kai Mann to fans of the Frankfurt Oktoberfest and Ed Sheeran.
To the jug to it there are still the proof pictures, as well as on request a photo with the handover with the organizers of the Frankfurt Oktoberfest.
