Tickets for the first commercial flights were sold on eBay for $1.9 million, with all proceeds divided between Singapore's Community Chest, the Sydney Children's Hospital and The Children's Hospital at Westmead (Sydney) and Doctors Without Borders.

The most expensive ticket was won by Julian Hayward, who paid $100,380 to make the trip to Sydney with a friend. 28 percent of the tickets purchased were by Australians, 14 percent were Singaporean and the rest were a mixture of Britons, Americans and other nationalities.
