VIP Event with Bobby Orr
Saturday, May 15, 2010
12pm-4pm
Location to be announced
Boston area, MA
Sports Images, Inc. is bringing Number 4, Bobby Orr to a mystery location in Boston for a special meet and greet. Not much is being revealed about this rare opportunity, but the event website says the location will be disclosed to VIP ticket holders only. Upon first reading this, one might be led to think there are general non-VIP ticket holders as well, but after rereading the elusive details 10 or so times I've come to the conclusion that all of the event *tickets* are VIP and there are apparently 250 of them available. Meaning it appears that there are three packages one can purchase in relation to this event but only one of them allow you to actually attend the meet and greet. Details are available here but may be somewhat elusive so those interested should also call the corporate office ((781) 938-4340 extension 219 or 214) to inquire further. The event website also has left only vague information about what exactly will take place at this Bobby Orr event but it does look like true Number 4, Bobby Orr fans with money to spend can make out with some extremely valuable collectors items.
