2009 Arnold Classic

**tooncesthecat** · June 18th, 2008, 08:28 PM

I know it's only June, but I'm already getting psyched for next March's Arnold Classic. I got serious this year and bought a VIP ticket today. This includes Men's and Women's Finals events for Friday and Saturday evening, Men's Prejudging Saturday afternoon, 3 Expo tickets (One for each day), The Arnold Training Seminar, Amateur events on Thursday and Friday and, new this year, Party with the Pros on Saturday evening.

Is anyone else going to be in Columbus for this event? If you've never been, it's THE BEST bodybuilding weekend in the world! But it's much more than that with all the powerlifting, olympic lifting, MMA, arm wrestling, judo, volleyball, etc. And did I mention the fitness babes???

I am toying with going. I am considering going the VIP route as well. I've got Zambia in a bit less than a month...one trip at a time.

Just grabbed my seats - I didn't do the VIP this year because I felt like I had a better position in the front row balcony. Front row for Mens, second row for womens. Should be perfect for my shots.

I did see some "orch" seating on some premium ticket places for $250 or so a pop, but I couldnt for the life of me find a seating chart that showed me where those seats were.

So, except for a hotel, we're booked!

Michael, you better move quick on the hotel. I read on another forum that people are already having quite a difficult time finding any rooms.
