Yea finally.  What about the official website?  They have to give some OFFICIAL pub before the NOC.  September will come fast.

the shows gonna be sold out  why rush the website  it couldnt be as cheap looking as bev/steve's

The website will be up by then.  Also, full page ads are going in several magazines  Plus, Wayne has a very extensive mailing list as you can imagine after how many Olympias.  He is mailing out monthly "newsletter" type announcements keeping most everyone up to date with sponsors and other info.  I went to the website for the "townhall" where the NOC is taking place and it really is a nice place.  The URL is http://www.the-town-hall-nyc.org Holds about 1500 people and will be packed to the gills with people.

Just checked out the Town Hall website and while it does look nice, there was no mention of the NOC.  Ticketmaster, however, does have the event tickets for sale for everything except the Saturday prejudging. 

Interestingly, the Friday night pro qualifier has only two ticket prices available - $40 and $200, with nothing in-between. 

Here's a cost sheet that provides a good point-of-reference for folks who wonder about how much it costs to stage such an event:

As Keith will tell you, the 2-day venue rental and all the associated add-ons are just the tip of the iceberg. 

Of note:

Added Security (per guard x 5 hours )  $250

Surely, there are trained security professionals in NYC willing to work for less than $50/hour. 

Perhaps the PDI should try to make nice with Goodrum.
