THE GREAT AD

The train

30 cars. Car number = distance from the bomb. Car 30 rides right next to the dynamite in the finale. Every sold car raises the price of the next one. When 30 are gone, the train is sold out forever.

the dynamite

The Red Wire

In the last scene I cut one wire. Your name is on it. It's an auction: +$50 takes it, the holder is shown here live.

Closes in 2d 15h 13m 45s (Sun 15 Nov · 23:59 CET; a bid in the last 10 minutes adds 10 minutes)

How bidding works: your card gets a hold, not a charge. If someone takes the wire from you, the hold is released and you pay nothing. When the clock runs out, only the holder is charged.

One-offs

Live from the train

1. No sales yet. The first one shows up here the second Stripe confirms it. This page never fakes one.

The rules

• Every price is published below, and it only moves after a real, paid sale. The counter on this page counts only payments Stripe confirmed. Refunds come off it.
• Price lock. The price you see when you click is the price you pay. Checkout holds it for 30 minutes.
• Seat numbers go in payment order. If two people pay at the same moment, both pay the price they were quoted and get the next two cars.
• Hard cap: 30 seats, then sold out forever.
• Deadline: the fuse burns out Sunday 15 Nov at 23:59 CET. No extensions.
• Delivery: your cameo is live within 24 hours of purchase, or you get a full refund. You approve your script before it goes out. Conductor and Title Card run in every chapter; the Passenger List is in the end credits.
• Content: no NSFW, nothing defamatory, nothing illegal. If I can't run your pitch, you get a full refund.
• If the $20k isn't hit: every buyer still gets their placement and the movie still ships. Nothing is conditional. It's a sale, not a donation.
• Sponsored means sponsored. Every paid placement is labeled Sponsored, in the movie and on this site.
• Refunds: missed delivery or a pitch I can't run means a full refund. A refunded car rides empty; the price never goes back down.

The full ladder

Formula: car n costs $29 × 1.15ⁿ⁻¹, rounded to end in 9, and always at least $10 more than the car before.

Everything else

• Passenger List · $9, unlimited. Your name or handle in the end credits, plus the live passenger ticker if you want it.
• The Conductor · $1,500, 1 only. The conductor becomes your recurring brand character in every chapter.
• Title Card · $2,500, 1 only. "THE GREAT AD, presented by ___" on every chapter and the final YouTube cut.
• The Red Wire, auction. Opens at $500, +$50 takes it, closes Sunday 23:59 CET (plus 10 minutes after any last-minute bid). Card hold while you hold it; charged only if you still hold it at the close.
