Oh, no. I did forgot that tonight is the opening of 3rd World Pyro Olympics. We are looking forward to watch the Pyro Olympics from first day to last day and its sad that we missed the 1st day. At around 5pm this afternoon, heavy rain poured. I admit that I did forgot the event, the cold weather is another reason to be lazy to go there.
The frequent reschedule of 3rd World Pyro Olympics somehow made people got tired of the event… plus summer season is about to end already. I checked on the official website of World Pyro Olympics, it’s now available again.
There is a big chance that the event will be a big flop for these reasons:
- Change of schedule – blogs and other site announced prematurely the schedule which made people got tired of waiting including me. These sites got the information by inquiring to La Mancha Productions.
- Weather – I did mention from my other Pyro Olympics posts that the weather will be a problem in the month of May which is start of rainy season. If its rainy season, ticket sales is affected.
- Participants – From the original 10 participants, there are only 6 participants now. China and Germany (May 3), Canada and France (May 10), Italy and Venezuela (May 17)
- Ticket price – With the present crisis in the Philippines, many filipinos will choose the lowest ticket price php 150 or be contented by watching it from afar like Baywalk or anywhere near Roxs Boulevard. Tickets are available at all Ticketnet outlets or call 911-5555 for ticket inquiries.
- Incoming school opening – school year 2008-2009 always starts in June, with the crisis in the Philippines, people will spend their money on their priorities like tuition fee, books, uniforms and school supplies.
- Advertisements – its self explanatory, I’m not aware that the event starts tonight considering that I live a stone away from SM Mall of Asia. I’m not sure if they’ve place ads on TV, radio and newspapers.
The reasons above were my based on point of view. I still hope that next Saturday, the event will be a success compared to previous World Pyro Olympics. See you there.
