Lol dde I wasn't talking about you , I was talking about mav_ggsc who is my friend and he said he will be driving , I don't think you are called mav lol, if that's your real name I'm sorry you got confused, you should read better and not rush to open your mouth the way you just did, because I don't really know you and you don't know me, so why would I talk the way you think I did If we don't know eachother lol. Sorry, but I think you got really confused here
my bad lol i thought mav = maybe

As a U of T Student and a mod for WhiteRa I'm looking forward to this.
|
No prob dde , I was hoping for you or ostoji for the show match since most of pros in Toronto are P, a mirror show match is kind of boring, let's see who they will pick.
|
Lets see dde v White Ra...and someone go drive Wasif in too so we can get an interesting Mirror Match
|
dde vs white ra would be best probably anyone else would prolly just get smashed.

UPDATE
Tuesday is almost over and we are sure you've been waiting on an update
about the upcoming event with White-Ra.
First of all, we had a good laugh ourselves when the event was scheduled to
happen on April 1st. Nevertheless, this is not an April Fools' joke and if
someone still doubt's it - you can check the official White-Ra page. Also
the fact that the Isabel Bader Theatre, a beautiful and comfortable 500 seat
venue, is located on the UofT campus has nothing to do with the university
itself.
Now to the most important part: Tonight was a day when ticket sales were
supposed to start, however after a tiring day of discussions and phone calls
it was agreed among all parties involved, including White-Ra, that in the
best interest of the community it will be a bad idea to put the tickets on
sale now. The reason is simple and we hope understandable - as per our
information at this time White-Ra's travel documents and Canadian visas are
en-route from the Canadian embassy in Kiev to White-Ra's home town Odessa.
This would be White-Ra's first ever visit to Canada and until he will have
his passport with the visa on hand it will not be appropriate for us to
start selling the tickets, thus protecting first and foremost your money and
your piece of mind. That said, we do not expect to have any problems with
the visas. We did put in a lot of effort and a lot of time to make sure that
White-Ra's application for Canadian visa is as perfect as possible. Again
from what we know the package was supposed to leave the embassy early in the
day and we will have the news, good news, within the next 48 hours. We hope
for your understanding.
However, it would be bad to leave you completely clueless and not to give
you any additional information.
PRICES: Once up for sale, ticket price will range from $15 to $30 depending
on preferred seating.
The area map for the Isabel Bader Theatre is available if you click on the
theatre's address in the first post and follow the link to Google Maps.
Interceptor Group's website will be launched with the ticket sales - we've
spent most out time figuring out the logistics and documentation required,
and believe it to be a more important part of making the event a success
than building a web-site.
Again we count on your understanding and hopefully the good news will follow
soon.

yay update thank you.
thats pretty steep..... but im still going to come.

$15 seem a little too much.
Barcraft events for GSL finals in Toronto are generally free, $10 can get you food and drinks.
Even watching GSL at the theater a long time ago only costed ~$10 iirc.
If it is the venue that is making the cost so high, I am curious if a barcraft location would accommodate the event for free? I expect ~60-100 people, not 500...
In comparison, the entire MLG event's door ticket is only $25 USD. That is for 3 day's worth of content from the morning to the evenings, with various fan meetings with many world class progamers, a large crowd, and so much more...

Would there be any whitera merch there for sale? wouldn't mind supporting him and getting something autographed!

$35 for MLG.

let's get real here.. a movie ticket is $15.
$15 is fine...
most people attending MLG pay for transportation and a hotel as well... and because they've already spent $100+ on the event they buy a t-shirt or some other MLG Merchandise
this event is more for people local to the GTA.

Looks like a good event. Just sucks that I'm terran! WTB a terran hero!
|
Price point seems perfect to me. Thanks for the update!
|
Going with my friend. without a doubt.
|
Price point is ok with me, I'm there, but it is significantly higher than I expected for this type of thing, not like we're going to fill a 500 seat theatre either, so two price points for preferred seating, I'm curious what the map on that looks like. I assume you'd get around 2-3 Dozen at this price, we wouldn't need more than like 3 rows of the place.
|
It does cost money to bring White-Ra, pay him (I assume he is getting something from this), and rent a theater, so I understand a ticket being $15.00
|
are tickets going to be bought online or at a specific location? sorry if I overlooked this I could not find out, can't wait to meet everyone!
|
I don't think I could be more excited for this... Even though I have so little idea of what to expect.
For those bitching about the cost of something like this... c'mon, you can't compare it to a "movie". This is White-Ra live, In the flesh, $15 is pretty fair I think.

FYI all you eSport fans, WiteRa just Tweeted:
Aleksey Krupnyk @WhiteRaSC
Today I get Canadian visa, see you soon here 
I expect to see an update on this thread confirming this.

That seems fairly insulting

IMPORTANT UPDATE
This is the kind of news you wish to hear first thing in the morning. Just couple of hours ago we were informed that White-Ra finally received the visa to enter Canada. There was never a doubt that this will happen - who in the right mind will not allow White-Ra in?
Now when the most important part of the preparation is behind we can get ready for the exiting weekend with White-Ra! Anyone still thinks that this is a joke?
More information will be out here ASAP.
