Anybody in here attending 2011 HOF induction weekend?

[Phantasm]

I've just ordered my tickets and am so hyped up to attend. This will be my first time attending any HOF induction ceremony. Anyone else attending or been to previous ceremonies? Any stories, advice or tips? I think this is one of the greatest (or prestigious) classes in the short history of the HOF.

Definitely something I want to do before I die, but will not be going this year.

Same thing I said, and figured if any year to begin attending, this would be it.

Man u picked a good year to go, ive never been but know a guy who as and he said every fighter he met had all the time in the world to chat boxing and everyone was cool.

How much do tickets to that cost anyways?

Y'know, I think Fighters are the most accessible and outgoing athletes in sports. Duran is the only fighter I have ever met to turn me down for an autograph.

Tickets vary. The actual induction ceremony is free. I'm not sure if there is a fee to get on the grounds though (might be the museam fee). But there are a variety of events throughout the induction week, many of which are free (like book readings and speaking events). Some of the bigger events like Mexican dinner night and Gala ceremony are $60+, but not bad considering you are having a private evening and dinner with fighters. IBHOF website had a form with all the prices. I'm taking my pops and bought tickets for almost every event and came out to less than $300/person. Thats almost the same price we're paying for the hotel for the both of us, so basically I have my weeks vacation with hotel and some meals for under $1,000. I'm driving up from NC, so I havent factored fuel.

I've gotten to go twice in the past, but will not be making the trip this year. I'm not real excited about any of the inductees, plus my work schedule makes it tough.

According to Dan Rafael's blog, Tyson is going to try and attend the induction ceremony, as it is his bday and wedding anniversary weekend.

Interview with Tszyu on fight news...looks like he'll be attending and expecting some animosity from JCC.

Not this year but, definitely something I want to do before I kick the bucket.
