Just PayPal at the moment. It's the easiest way to please the majority of people and we're also low budget so prefer to use funds to pay for more fun stuff. Hope to have physical tickets also available for Mania, but can't guarantee anything yet. Will have to wait and see.lockie1983 wrote: »Thinking of going myself, would be my first time attending one of these and would be going on my own, is it easy to blend in or is it advisable to come with a group?
You'll be fine if you come on your own, plenty of people do as many don't have others in their social group who'd watch wrestling. We try to keep the pre-show very inclusive to get everyone to know each other, too. You'll get chatting to people there, it's all a very friendly, inclusive atmosphere. That's one of the things I love about the parties: everyone there is just up for the laugh and getting to know other wrestling fans.

I think its pretty easy to blend in and have a good time, at the last PPV I was with some friends and some guy who was on his own asked if he could sit with us. Ended up buying each other drinks and having a good time.
Our eyes met across the table as we both reached for that jug of Beer only for us to touch each other hands, we laughed, i blushed a little.......f**ker never called me the next day
just kidding

Just a heads-up guys, we're making provisions now for this party selling out on the night. Tickets are selling faster than they did for the Mania party and, while I expect we'll still have a few left at the door on the night, I think the walk-up tickets may sell early enough into the night.
I don't want any boardsies to be left out in the cold for this one (especially since the entire idea started here!) so I said I'd give you the heads up to get your hands on them early to be sure. 0 -

There's a 300 person limit for the Rumble, just to make sure everyone is comfortable and has space (if this sells out, we'll look into freeing up more space for Mania to allow more people to attend). For perspective, the last Mania party had 350-odd in total...way more than we'd anticipated: we originally hoped to just fill the Live bar and were selling tickets with that single goal in mind! My ideal scenario is like a lite version of the Superbowl in the Woolshed. Ideally, I want a happy medium between rammed enough that there's an amazing atmosphere but also that people have room to breathe!
So we're taking projections into account given that most tickets to these parties typically sell the week of the event, and on the night itself. Hope that clears things up! 0 -

Captain's have plasmas all over the venue then the big screen in the Live area. The Live area is most definitely the best place to be: it can hold about 120 when packed, so it's really first come, first served. I'm telling anyone who asks to arrive for 9pm and you should get a spot there (though we can't even guarantee that: we had people there before we even arrived for Mania! Should be fine though).
If anyone has any problems with video/sound, say it to one of our guys and we'll get on it right away. Fortunately, we've got a few of these events under our belt now and Captain's basically just hand us the venue for that kinda thing, so we have the shtick down and can fix any issues once we know. We haven't heard any complaints from the past couple nights though, so hopefully it'll be the same again this time around!
Bar will stay open for most of the PPV. Ultimately, all Captain's staff wanna do is get outta there as close to 4am as possible (which is fair enough really) so they tend to keep serving as long as people are buying then start to close once it quietens down. They're fairly sound about it, have to say (trust me, from experience other venues can be awful for this; taking bookings promising a 1-2am finish then kicking everyone out at 12.30-1am)
Enjoy your first party though, and if you or anyone else has any other questions, just ask! 0 -

Hmm, what about #DubRumble? I think I'll leave this for boards to decide as I'm doing a lot on the event page already so this can be boards' baby!
I don't know if you've all seen, but some of the guys in the event page have come up with a drinking game for the night. We're gonna print it off and leave a copy at each table.ROYAL RUMBLE DRINKING GAME
• Drink once...for each entrant.
• Drink once...for each elimination.
• Drink once…if anything is trending worldwide.
• Drink once…if anyone ‘skins the cat’ in the Rumble match.
• Drink twice...for blood.
• Drink twice...for a foreign object.
• Drink three...for a surprise entrant.
• Take a shot…if Michael Cole says “VINTAGE!”
• Chug...when a submission hold is applied
• Chug...for the duration of "Alberto Del RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOO!!!!"
• Finish your drink…if a title changes hands.
• Finish your drink...if Ron Simmons says damn.0 -

Judging by the mania crowd, everyone will be in a coma by the time Cena wins the rumble.0 -

Haha! I dunno, we got this picture after the main event, looks like a pretty fun coma:
But yeah, everyone's welcome to take a power nap if there's a Divas match on. :pac:
Seriously, though, I'm hoping the Rumble match is on last so, with the countdowns, entrances, eliminations and whatnot, there'll still be an unreal atmosphere. I've been personally looking forward to that one match alone since the Mania night.0 -
