So, which is it?
It's exactly what I said it was...nowhere near 1400...which makes it even worse that the numbers that WERE there, were mostly freebies.
BTW- Here's a review of the PDI British show, from someone who was there...more hard numbers for you...

PDI's British Night of Champions
I attended this event last night and this is my review of the event and the PDI in general.
Ticket Price: £50, $110!!!! There were about 100 people there in total, maybe 150...
Ok the show started off with some amatures competing to join in and win a spot in the night of champions show in the evening.
The night of champions show had all the same people in it from the NYC show. So we already knew who was going to win. It was not like a bodybuilding show it was more like Lee Priest and his bandwagon of rebel bodybuilders.
There was then a seminar after the amature bit where the owner of the PDI talked for absolute ages about absolute fantasy, the only good point he made was that his athletes were going to get excellent medical checkups but he also at the same time was saying he is going to introduce drug testing... he made no sence and contradicted himself. He talked about how bodybuilders in round 3 will now be judged on their posing routine and if they have a good routine be able to over take someone with a better physique than them and how important the entertainment value of a routine was...
Anyway after this the 15 finalists came on. Same dudes from NYC. They all did
their posing pre judging round 1 and 2.
Then comes round 3 the entertainment round of creative routines... OH MY GOD. They were CRRRAP!! They were the worst routines i have ever seen. It was like the athletes had picked a song they liked and just posed to it out of time and everything! Lee did his superman bit.
So then comes the winners... wonder whos won? Oh look lee priest... Suprise Suprise!!! I dont quite understand where this organisation is going. It seems to me it just travels around and gives lee all the first place awards (im not saying he didn't deserve it because he did, he looked awsome) i just dont really get what their doing...
After everyone moved into a bar nextdoor to the theatre and one of lee's companions was in there getting out the photos and DVD's to sign. Lee walks in and it apears to get his friend to pack the DVD's back up he then goes outside and starts calling for a cab. Not signing nothing or even saying hello to the fans. Maybe because there were not that many people in there but still... people paid to come get autographs and stuff it even says autograph session on the flyers...
Overal, a peice of crap company and an awful show. This is going to sink very very fast!
