LOL @ sold out. There will be 5000 empty seats, and more at prejudging.
I have a feeling Kai is going to bring a new standard at this show. I want to witness the fruitfucker change the game.
There aren't 5,000 seats at the venue. It is held in Tribeca, at the Borough of Manhattan Community College in their auditorium, which is also where the Tribeca film festival is held. The event is actually a pretty decent one. I attend every year with my partner and sometimes hang out with a few of the promoters after the show.
I was there when Bob won his contest and was posing immediately outside (area behind the stage where the contestants had their posing and oil room). He had a great day that day and his wife was a very gracious woman, taking his pictures immediately after the prejudging and also after his win. Like I said, beautiful couple.
The NY PRO does get sold out very easily. The auditorium probably holds about 1-2,000 people and I've seen it get roughly over 1,200 easy.
You have to remember that each competitor has many people coming to see them (family, friends, admirers, lovers etc.). Also, all of the major bodybuilding magazines show up to the events and the supplement companies also line themselves up inside the building with their fitness models promoting their products and giving free stuff away.
Just the fitness models alone attract a large number of fans.
You guys should truly check it out.
