Just wondering if anyone knows a rough estimate of how many people will attend the O this year? and if anyone knows, the crowds from previous years. Just curious.
(I've posted this on the Olympia board, but thought id put it here as-well as theres way more people here)
-
Sure...it was about 7K last year...and could be close to 10,000 this year.

10K? GREAT!
It's great to see some serious crowd going to Olympia! Maybe the prize money will also grow as more and more people buy a ticket. Hopefully...

If you believe 10k will show up I got some swampland to sell you.

I doubt the O expo is bigger than the Arnold's

Exactly where did you go to school. The arena can hold 8,000 people plus a few more. Can you tell me where the other 2,000 will be seating. I would love to see as would everyone else.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!

Not even close. The Arnold Expo is awesome. The Olympia Expo is great too but not near as big as the Arnold. But if you ask Chic he will say 400,000 people went to the Olympia Expo last year so about 600,000 will be there this year. ::)

It's pretty well documented on here how Chic numbers seem to "expand" quite a bit. It could be all the mirrors make it look like more people are there than in reality. He has some kind of "syndrome" that gives him the illusion that everything he says is fact. Stating there will be 10,000 people in an arena that seats 8,000 in the configuration of the Olympia is just one instance. I am sure he will be on here soon to say he was joking or he was counting the people in the casino too. ::)

it shouldn't be too hard to find the seating capacity of the area online. Can you provide a link?

I called the Arena line and asked the guy. There are less than 1000 seats sold so far but that doesn't mean anything since most are paid for there. The number is 888-234-2334 the website is http://www.orleansarena.com/seating-charts.html (http://www.orleansarena.com/seating-charts.html)
-
Great, maybe he can also give you the correct info on the capacity as it's over 10,000....as usual, wrong again.
Bro...I WORK on the Olympia production.

bwaaaaaaaaa hahahahaahahahahaha
Wow, 1000 tickets sold. Follow that number, onlyme. Remember when bob kicked all over Pdi for giving away seats? what happens if the O only sells 2000 tickets and gives away 6000?
hahahaha monster accountability. stick to it onlyme!

How many of those people are bicurious? ;D

According to Wikipedia, the capacity is 9500.

Exactly Ed.... which also doesn't reflect the floor seating or the VIP rooms located upstairs.
The only seats we dont sell are the ones loctaed at the far end, behind the cameras set up etc......
Just more of Keiths bullshit....nothing new.

See ya at the Olympia Keith. When are you buying breakfast?

Thanks for the reply Chick, those sound like some solid numbers. As for everyone doubting Chick, i think he'd know, being emcee and all you know. If 7000 people attended last year, its not hard to imagine that a few thousand more will come. The Olympia is getting bigger each year, thus more people will attend. Also, 2007 could be a history making event, if Ronnie were to win, or to see Ronnie in possibly his last show. People will come to see that.

You got it....people like Keith will try to badmouth everything and anything that has nothing to do with them.

No, they're different types of events.

Well they better find someone else. Cause you might just sell 10,000 tickets yourself since you are so good and then where will the extra 2,000 sit. Hurry quit while you still can.

It depends on the layout. The way they have it setup it is 8,000 with a little more in the suites. It would be great if they sold out. It would be all because of Chic ::)

CHic again you are wrong and refuse to admit it. Lets just say I am wrong and the guy at the Arena who I talked to is wrong and the seating chart is wrong. Even by Special Ed who you agree with it holds 9500. That is still not 10,000. Do you need it in braille or someone to actually write it down for you to understand. Will this help, I will say it slowly;
9......5.........0...... ...0 D....O.....E......S N....O.....T E.....Q....U......A..... ..L 1.......0,......0.......0......0
Hope this helps. No wonder their is hardly any money to be made in the IFBB. None of you know math.
-
You're right bro.....9500....not including the vip boxes...I could actually be off by 50-100 seats.
My bad.
-
I'll be there next month, and I'm going to walk around the entire arena and count every single seat. I'll report my findings in early Oct. I have spoken! >:(
-
If anyone needs tickets, call Troy Alves.....he'll hook you up!

Well that actually includes the VIP suites but you know we have broke new ground here. I am very proud of you.
-
You mean to tell me that there are about 1000 pre sold tickets and you are expecting a walk up of 9000.
There has never been nor will there be that kiind of last minute attendance at any bodybuilding event.
I've been to many Mr Os and the attendance has been getting worse. I don't give a shit what official numbers are being put out.
