For the first time in Golden Ten history we've hit the 1 million euro mark. The total amount paid for 84 pigeons on Sunday was €518,640, which means a total of €1,179,360 for the whole auction (168 pigeons) or an average of €7020 per bird.
An incredible record, which couldn't have been reached without the high quality of the pigeons offered and the big interest from especially Asia.
Take a look on our Facebook page for more photos of the viewing of the birds, the auction and the "friendship dinner"!
