Hello NYC area wrestling fans!

In 2009, the CHIKARA NYC Bus Trip Initiative set out on a mission: to bridge the gap between the greatest wrestling ersario Yin” events, we wanted to expand a bit – with both our passengers and the companies we work with.  With CHIKARA partnering up with Dragon Gate USA over the summer, we found the opportunity to do just that when we ran a SOLD-OUT trip to DGUSA’s premiere event “Open the Historic Gate.”

Now, after success with both CHIKARA and Dragon Gate USA under our belt, we’ve decided it’s time to shed the long-winded name of our company and re-focus our goals.  We will no longer be confined to any one promotion. We’ve learned that through constantly evolving, cross-promoting with new partners, and watching the stars of tomorrow in the various but very best rings in the northeast United States… we’re building towards something even better.

And as the state of American independent wrestling becomes richer with talent and fan-support, we are proud to announce the re-christening of our company…

ARENA DOOR BUS TRIPS

“Your express ride to ringside,” Arena Door Bus Trips will absolutely strive to provide the very best in direct travel between the NYC area and all of the best upcoming indy wrestling shows through 2010.

And we are proud to announce two exciting excursions that will be happening in the month of January, including our very first ROH trip!

Ring of Honor presents…

ROH on HDNET Tapings @ The (ECW) Arena in Philadelphia, PA

Friday – January 8th, 2010 – 8 pm

This will be the VERY FIRST ROH event of 2010, and will also be the event following NYC’s “Final Battle 2009” on 12/19.  What will the status quo of Ring of Honor be following the events of “Final Battle”?  And will Jim Cornette keep his contract with wrestling fans going into the new year?

Price: $40 (includes one GA ticket, one round trip reservation, and driver gratuity)

Bus departs NYC at 4:00 pm (please arrive by 3:30).

**Meeting for pick-up on 9^th Avenue between 42^nd & 43^rd Streets, in front of Starbucks, a block away from Port Authority.**

Bus arrives back in NYC by 1:00 am that same evening.

CHIKARA presents…

A TOUCH OF CLASS (Season 9 Premiere) @ The (ECW) Arena in Philadelphia, PA

Sunday – January 31^st, 2009 – 4 pm

Though many questions were answered at “Three-Fisted Tales” in November, far more were raised once the BDK’s plot was put into motion and the tecnicos were left crushed and humbled in the closing moments of Season 8.  A “war” has indeed arrived on CHIKARA’s front steps now that the BDK possesses the Eye of Tyr and has succeeded in infiltrating the lockerroom, activating many sleeper agents from within.  With a promise of new members to be revealed, how will CHIKARA retaliate?  Will alliances be forged between tecnico and rudo?  Or have the seeds of distrust already seaped down far enough to crack the entire promotion’s foundation?

Price: $50 (includes one GA ticket, one round trip reservation, and driver gratuity)

Bus departs NYC at 12:30 pm (please arrive by 12 noon).

**Meeting for pick-up on 9^th Avenue between 42^nd & 43^rd Streets, in front of Starbucks, a block away from Port Authority.**

Bus arrives back in NYC by 10:00 pm that same evening.

Arena Door Bus Trips currently accepts PayPal, checks, or money orders for all reservations.

Reservations are on a first-come, first-paid, first-served basis.  Upon receipt of payment, passengers will be added to the roll call roster and sent a confirmation e-mail letting them know they have a seat on the bus.

Each trip includes luxurious charter bus service to the arena door.  Why drive and waste money on gas and tolls, when you can relax, congregate with other wrestling fans, and leave the driving and navigating to us.

Estimated arena arrival times leave a little over an hour for pre-show dining, stretching, what have you.

Hello and thank you for joining us at the launch of Arena Door Bus Trips (dot-com). We used to be the “CHIKARA NYC Bus Trip Initiative.” Now we’re not. In 2010, we plan to extend our legendary round trip bus service to the (ECW) Arena in Philadelphia for premiere independent wrestling events to other promotions and venues along the East Coast.

Stay tuned for more info, but be warned. The status quo is about to change.
