[Brandon R.]

Well I'll be there for atleast the 2nd day of the finals. I will hopefully be there the final day to see the stones too. I unfortunately can't be there Friday because school is supposedly too important to miss 1 day. Curse being only 16. lol

[Nicolette L.]

Brandon,
You are headed to California for two days only?

[Brandon R.]

I'll be there Friday Saturday and Sunday. I just won't be able to see the 1st day of the finals. I can't complain though. We apparently got a really good deal on a hotel room and can fly for free since my mom works for American Airlines so that takes care of plane tickets, so the money isn't that big an issue.

[Jared Enderton]

I'll be there for all of finals.

[Elliot_Storey]

I haven't booked my flight yet, but my brother lives in Anaheim so I'm basically there. Probably finals only though.

[Steiner]

It's all pretty much in my back yard so i'll be there every day!

[Joshua Davis]

I'm gonna try to make it out for the finals. I've procured a place to stay, but unfortunately I have to do some things I'm not very proud of to stay there... but hey, anything for WSM.

[Daniel Atchison]

Ryan and I are staying down at steiners house for the event... Should be a sweet treat

[Kristyn Vytlacil]

I Will Definitely Be There For The Finals!!!

[Joshua Davis]

I have a silly question... will there be an admission fee for spectators? Will a one-day pass to Disney need to be purchased for one day of events?

[Richard Reynolds]

I'm wondering the same thing. What about at Huntington Beach? Will they section it off and charge for seats?

CAN I STAY IN THE SAME HOTEL AS THE ATHLETES
If you wish to attend the event and stay in the official hotel, please contact the Hilton Anaheim direct on +1 800 222 9923 and ask for the World's Strongest Man guestroom rate. Alternatively go to their website www.anaheim.hilton.com and make a reservation under the group block by typing in the Group/Convention Code WSM.


HOW DO I GET TICKETS FOR, OR HOW CAN I ATTEND THE EVENT?
Generally the WSM events are not ticketed, they are free for everyone to watch.

[Nicolette L.]

According to the site all events are free for spectators. Although I do not know that for a fact.

Hey, you can't say that!!! I haven't even given you the full list yet!!! Now that Beers is coming, I'm gonna have to alter a few of the "ideas".

[Josh Kamins]

I definitely want to go, depends on schedule at work and what not. I think Ill be there at least for the Sunday of finals, but may drive up for more depending.... Maybe Ill try to find a place to stay and go for friday and saturday of finals...

[Arnell Castillo]

[Scott Porter]

I will be there for the finals along with some other AZ guys hopefully.

[chrisklavette]

My dad and I will be there for the finals. FYI, Hilton gives a great military discount. This discount also applies to state employees.
BTW, I'm not competing.

[Nicolette L.]

Thanks Chris!

[Matt Stiefel]

I am planning to be there most of the days, prelims and finals.

And I don't need any olive oil to get there!!

[Claire_Cutts]

I'm flying over from the UK with my brother for the finals we're arriving Thursday and leaving Monday. We're staying at the Hilton and really looking forward to it. Unfortunately we can't make the preliminaries because of my college and work commitments, I'm going to miss at least half a day of college flying when we are and I'll have to bring my college work with me! so if you see anyone wondering around the hotel with law text books it may be me.

[Evan Hansmann]

Im there without a doubt for the finals :D:

[chrisklavette]

I'm staying at the Hilton also! 85 bucks a night, you can't beat that with a stick.

[lhprop1]

If it's the Paris Hilton, you probably touch it with your stick for less than 10 grand.

[Scott Markowitz]

If it's the Paris Hilton, you probably touch it with your stick for less than 10 grand.

But most of that is in doctors' bills secundum contactus (Plus, in Chris' case, attorney's fees, alimony and child support)

[Matt Lebo]

I'll be there with a chunk of the AZ Crew for the finals! Gonna see Nee kick some ass this year! :D

[Luke Bergmann]

I will also be there, along with most of my family and a few other strongman competiors.
I am routing for my bother Jason Bergmann to tear it up. See all of you in sunny california.

i think it's at the hilton..convention center...then one day at huntington beach then back to the convention center

[Amy Rachubinski]

I would just like to take a minute and say how flipping excited I am to be leaving tomorrow for Anaheim for 10 glorious days.

I agree with everyone who's said what a great competition WSM is going to be. Can't doubt the proven history of so many of the awesome athletes going into it, but honestly at the end of the day I would LOVE to see Team USA dominate the finals! hehe

Oh and I especially can't wait to watch Jason Bergmann who I guarantee will have one hell of a cheering squad out there. I could say more but I'll leave it at that--keep your eyes out for this guy though. Go get 'em baby!!!! :YR:

With that, I should probably think about packing as I'm leaving in the morning, so I wish everyone who's going a safe trip and I hope to meet some of ya out there!
