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:

Of note:
Added Security (per guard x 5 hours ) $250Surely, 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.
