Location: London.......South of England, dirty, expensive, nobody from the central, northern or Scottish regions will want to trek down to the capital. Should of been held in a more central location (Birmingham, home of Dorian's Gym)
Venue: The ExCel Arena.......Horribly run down facility, cheap, not particularly cheerful. Cramped seating. Located next to a heavily polluted and stinky river. (See Pic Below) :-X
The Big one.....
Ticket Prices:
This really is a joke.
Expo Saturday and Sunday: $40 PER DAY????? Wow.
Prejudging: Ranges from $32 to $57 depending on seating.
Night Show: $50 to $90 depending on seating
In perspective:
I can watch Man United football game or see top notch Wimbledon Tennis all day for cheaper than I can attend a 3rd Tier Bodybuilding show?
Below is the Arena.....(The bodybuilders aren't going to be able to climb the steps to get into the arena)

Instead of complaining about everything, go there and support. Then we get the same complaints on how the prize money is so low, etc. I am pretty sure this is one of the rare times that some of the top bodybuilders are going to have an IFBB pro contest in the UK, so let people enjoy it instead of complaining left and right.
The glass is half full, not half empty.

the prize money blows because the powers that be know bodybuilders are too fuckin stupid to complain because god forbid they won't land that ultra lucrative supp contract for 10g's per year.
