About to give up on Ironman pro (tickets?)
« on: December 19, 2007, 06:00:56 AM »
I have been to the site,called the IM office, etc and still no luck in trying to purchase a ticket for the IM pro. wtf? The web site and ticket info is up, online, but you can't purchase a damn ticket aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I may just blow off going to that show as it is within 2 months now and no tickets?

Wear your official GetBig t-shirt and you'll get in free.

How?

Because it looks so much like a Tapout shirt that a ticket-taker would have to be a fool to challenge you.

They are working on it... thanks for your patience

"Because of the change in venue and the necessity of moving to a "virtual" box office this has all taken longer than it usually does. Apologies to all - The tickets will be up by the first of the year. As soon as they are online, we will let everyone know."

Howie,

Just wait until the day of the show and pick a pair up off a scalper for half-price. Once you get in you can sit in any seat in which you outsize the ticketholder. Don't worry about security. If they can't afford a real box office/ticket seller, they can't afford security!

Have fun and strap da Glock. Koreatown can be dangerous after dark!

there won't be any scalpers.  plenty of tickets will be available the day of the show.   last year it was in a theater and it was less than half full.  this year it is in a side room in the convention center, with folding chairs.

the ironmanpro website says the contests will be held in Petree hall.  The expo will be in West Hall.

Wow - downsizing indeed.

The expo was pretty well-attended last year.  That didn't translate into increased sales for the night show?

The expo outgrew the venue in Pasadena, that is why they made the move.

Wait until the day of the show and see if Darrem or some other pro will be scalping their tickets for extra cash
