I suppose they got booked again by the City of Prince George before they could leave town.
I think this city searches out notoriety, as stupidity surely does not enter the mix.
Can one reasonably imagine fights and brawling by ticket holders demanding the attention of police and security.
My, that does speak well for the residents of this fine city!!!!!
Hope some reporters attended who can do a full write up on this notable event--or was it a questionable event????

I see from the promoter's site that the "Kali Project" is an advertiser of their page.

As with is likely with others, I had to ask myself what is this Kali Project?

Well, it appears it is the newest business to grace our downtown and they provide the "rink girls" for the event as well as VIP hostesses.

Wonder if Tom Sizemore has invested in the business. ;-)

In case someone has not bookmarked this important site yet.

Wonderful, lots of brawls in the beer gardens. I knew the city allowed booze at Multiplex events for a reason. How much did the city make on booze sales and what did it cost in policing costs. Here's a thought for a home based business. Wait until the early hours of the weekend mornings then take your video camera in hand and go downtown as the bars are closing. You can film all the fights you want and you won't have to rent the CN Centre to do it. The people will already be drunk so you won't need a beer garden or security for that matter. Just a large size paddywagon and several p[roperly armed peace officers. The video could be sold off on pay for view under the title of PG Saturday night for the whole world to see. Would be a good idea except the city wouldn't make money on the booze sales or the arena rental. What a crock and lots of publicity for PG. Yeh Colin, we're on the cutting edge of something new.

Reality TV???

We could pair off different cities every week ... Prince George versus Thunder Bay .. North Bay, Timmins ... Fort McMurray ... :-)

when will you fools quit kidding yourselves? There are drunken yahoos in every city. It isn't the drunken fools that give P.G. a bad name. It is the people like you guys that go on and on about it. I attended the brawl for all at the multiplex on saturday night. It was mildly entertaining. Four fights in the beer garden? Did that surprise me? No. You could not see the on ice scraps from there so obviously some dudes decided to put on there own show. As for "policing costs" as some genius complained about, hey bud the cops are getting paid whether they are at the T-Ho's or cuffing drunks at the plex. Anyways, for all of you that posted above me, Get a life and find something legitimate to complain about. Oh and by the way, hookers serving cocktails in the VIP section will forever go down as the funniest twist I have seen in a while.

Hey, Spanky, I cede to your superior intellect. I supose only people with the handle Spanky are entitled to an opinion.

Later.............

Surprise, surprise...a bunch of people are ready to spring into action with their "holier than thou" attitudes when they hear about a few fights at the event. Puulease. FYI...five people where arrested for fighting at the event...but did you know 30 were arrested around town? I cant believe I am agreeing with Spanky on this one but give it a rest. People who didnt want to see it didnt go and it showed. I went out of morbid curiosity and interest in the media goings ons and it was a joke for viewing live. Big pauses in action, no alternative on ice entertainment, poor planning (eg, fights to short, helmets came off to much, crummy build up and crappy entertainment value)and I was glad I didnt PAY for my ticket. :) I imagine it might of been a better show online or payperview wise but live was a joke.

The most amazing blunder is by CN for not having their name on the building when millions of people are seeing coverage outside from the broadcasts. Too busy cleaning up their messes I suppose.

Sure everyone is entitled to their opinion on this one but get realistic, it happened, it is not the end of the world, hopefully the city might of benefited from the exposure some how, and we can get on with stories that matter.

Added note: I am not a big fan of the mayor but kudos for trying to promote the city when he was interviewed on Sports Center out in front of Earls.

I have to say I mostly agree with the above post. I don't think this is the end of the world as some have suggested. There are far more important issues to be concerned about and this will be forgotten soon.

I didn't go to the event, but I support the right of folks to choose whether or not to go. And by the sound of it, it looks like a lot of people chose to stay home.

Right on-I could NOT have cared LESS.
I am not a strong supporter of this city-or the mayor and council, as I personally am of the opinion they are not capable of running a city-nor is a majority of the staff.
They can book such events for every week, and I, for one, will not blink an eye, or give a damn one way or another.
For those who went, hope you had fun, and for those who did not go-it does not sound like you missed much!!!!
Either way--have no regrets!!!!

In comparison to the so called Bertuzzi thing ,this event generated zero interest,I was in Vancouver on the weekend golfing with some buddies from Vancouver and the amount of interest from the Vancouver crowd was zero,half the guys didn't even know the event was taking place,nobody died and nobody got hurt and as far as our precious reputation,give it a rest,Prince George is a great place to live,I'm born and raised here and I will take the good people of this city over anyone else in a heart beat.If you like paying $900000 for a house that costs $200000 in PG and you enjoy commuting an hour and a half every day so you can pay $300 a month to park your car,then you just fly at it and move to the city,after all you will then be able to say that your not a red neck.
Rock

Right on rock. A few pluses for living in the north. I sure would not move to Vancouver-or anywhere on the lower mainland.
I do not know how those people can afford the high costs they are forced to pay.
They cannot all make a wage to support the costs of their lifestyle.I would not figure it to be worth the price.
I would not want to pay the gas for that hour and a half drive to and from work, plus extra for delays in traffic flow. And the additional cost of parking-must be rough.
As I said-I could care less about the past event, and I am sure a lot of people would express the same sentiment.
Happiness is a state of mind, so if you are not happy-just change your mind!!!!!!
