I'm currently at the show and I HARDLY SEE ANYBODY. this show needs a huge makeover, seriously, it's dead.
Just as I thought another loss.3 2 1 for Chick to chime in with it was a massive crowd and B&A show is a Non sanctioned IFBB Show.Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmm

Nearly a full house...I'd say the theater was 85-90% full....some upper level seats empty but that was it.
Full report from me tomorrow,
MJ

In every show in BBing history, not one photograph has ever been taken which shows the full audience, during the pro section.
Usually it's 500 people for the NPC contest and 32 industry people for the pros. imagine if 10,000 people came out to see a high school fotoball game, but the NFL's Patriots only managed to get 700 people a week to show up in Foxboro...

$100 tix
$ 80 tix
were two options
4 $100 tix left at 6 p.m.
approx 900 seats occupied
Avg sale=$90.00/Ticket
So, About $80K gross tix sales
+ sponsors $ fees
Did not lose money
Like it or not, this is what I saw and experienced
-
Thanks for the info MJ. Look forward to your complete report & pics.
-
can anyone give a rough estimate on how many paying customers showed up to the nightshow?
Im guessing 900
-
Why would someone pay $100 or even $80 to see this crap? Seriously.

I'd pay that much for the Olympia and Arnold but this show was as clear cut as Ronnie Coleman competing at the 2008 Natural Idaho Classic 50+ year old category. $20 tops and I want good seats ;D

You are right ....it is better to spend your time here bitching. You would not understand until you actually start working out. You doing a great job with you time management coming to a Bodybuilding site and Bitching all the time about Bodybuilding. You look like a Winner ::)

Obviously not going to a site or a place that you have nothing but negative things to say and spend time there. If you think Swimming is Gay don't got swimming.com and bitch about it. Nobody is going to like everything. If you don't like it Great...let it go.

lol....I'm wondering the same thing. tickets for this crappy show should have been $20 to $30, no more than that. until those promoters make improvements, they shouldn't charge that much. this aint no Night of Champions
-
80k from ticket sales 40k from sponsors = 120k.5k paid to the IFBB 50k prize money= 65k for the day not bad Esp without paying tax.Promoters don't do it for BB it's all about the Money$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. ::)

We treat it as a night out to NY with friends and go for a nice dinner afterward. We keep our expectations realistic and always have fun.

It is called having an experience.
Your ultimate joy in life will one day be summated by the experiences you have.

You may (or may not) be surprised to find that the shows don't make the famous profits you think they do. Every penny of that charge is necessary.
And if anyone should complain, its me(and I am not). Unlike YOU, I dropped $500 on tix :)

Nothing to 'believe'.
You should only KNOW that that was the price range.

Moose for $500 you could have been a sponsor and got 5 tix for free.Just a heads up for next year.I call BS on the sponsors not making Money how much Tax is paid FUK ALL."Cash baby Livin the Dream".

NY Pro crowd.How many paying people????.

Ummm....I don't think so. I usually don't even think of such things. But, now that you have mentioned it, these things do enter your mind.
Its okay, tho. There is room for everyone on the planet.

I had a spare thousand bucks to hit NYC, go to the show with 4 friends, and dine in a fine restaurant.
And you did WHAT with your Saturday evening?

You could be a great Promoter, Moose. I would like to see the NY Pro to be more exciting. New york got some of the best bodybuilding Fans. the same crowd that used to Rock the Night of Champions is somewhere outthere. Beside Met-rx and Champion, I hardly saw any big supp company on the floor. maybe if the venue was bigger, it might have attract more

Hey pecs. Yes, your words ring true.
I have promoted on my own and with Mike Katz since I was in my late twenties, with varying degrees of success.
