That’s right, Ringers will take over Manhattan NEXT WEEK! The work continues here at TORn headquarters (ie, in our own homes scattered across the globe…) to plan a wonderful event as part of our exciting New York ComicCon weekend. Last week we told you that, at the party, we’ll be giving away two tickets to see Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen on Broadway! Now we can confirm that we will also have some exciting goodies from WETA to give away at the event! We’re keeping this party small – tickets are strictly limited – so attendees have a good chance of winning something awesome!
Your ticket includes your first drink, a finger food buffet, two entries into the raffle, and a fab goody bag. And of course, excellent company in a private room in Manhattan – party like dwarves! (No green food allowed!)
Oh, and we’ve also invited all the Hobbit actors – Sir Ian, Orlando, Stephen Fry – who happen to be in The Big Apple at the moment. Not saying any of them will be there – but they’re invited, so you never know….
Lots of folks have already bought their tickets to join TheOneRing.net and fellow Ringers at our annual party in Manhattan! We’re hard at work planning a special event, and can’t wait to see everyone there. Everyone attending will receive a goody bag, and in addition to this, as ever, we will have some amazing prizes to be won; and we just got news of a very exciting giveaway to include in that raffle. We will be giving away TWO TICKETS to see Sir Ian McKellen and Sir Patrick Stewart on Broadway! The lucky winner (and companion of their choice!) will be able to pick a date to go along and see Gandalf and Picard, (or Magneto and Professor X), live on stage!
There will be more amazing giveaways at the party – stay tuned for further details! Your ticket to the party – at The Oak Cellar, Manhattan, on Thursday 10th October – includes two entries into the raffle, as well as your goody bag, your first drink, plentiful finger food throughout the evening, and of course a great time with fellow fans! Numbers are strictly limited in our private room this year, so buy your ticket now! We look forward to seeing you in New York in a couple of weeks.
October 10th to 13th TheOneRing.net will be in the Big Apple, for New York ComicCon. We’ll be at Booth 3008, so we hope you’ll come by to say hello, chat with us and maybe buy a shirt or try to win something! We’ll also be giving a panel on Sunday at 12noon – ‘An Unofficial Sneak Peak at The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug‘. The panel is currently scheduled to be in room 1A14, but that may change, so check back nearer the time.
Of course. we can’t come to the city that never sleeps and NOT throw a party! So on Thursday 10th October we will be holding our annual ‘Ringers Take Manhattan’ event! This year, we’ll be at a different venue – the charming Oak Cellar at Jake’s Dilemma, 430 Amsterdam Avenue (just down the road from where we were last year). As ever, we’ll have a generous finger food buffet, and your ticket will also include your first drink and two tickets into our raffle for the evening.
You can buy tickets for this party here. Tickets can also be bought on the door that night, but will be $5 more expensive then – so it pays to buy in advance! We really hope you’ll join us – we look forward to seeing many of our fellow fans in NYC in October!

TORn staffers are just back from a busy weekend at New York ComicCon, where we had a wonderful time meeting and chatting with fellow fans. It was great to see so many folks at our party on Thursday night, and we loved seeing everyone who came by our booth at the convention. Thanks to all for your support! Tolkien fans really are amazing creatures… 🙂
Alas, we didn’t learn about this amazing art until we had all left the Big Apple! Never mind King Kong or Godzilla, giant dwarves are taking over Manhattan! If you’re in New York, go check it out – at the South East corner of 24th and Park. Thanks to ringer spy Debba521 for the heads up!
Later today various staffers from TORn will be taking planes, trains and automobiles to get to the Big Apple and start setting up for New York ComicCon! From 3pm Thursday afternoon we’ll be manning our booth at the Javits Convention Center, and we hope that you will come on by and say hello!
You can visit TheOneRing.net at booth number 2947, where you can buy fabulous shirts, buttons and other goodies, plus play trivia, enter a draw for some incredible prizes or just chat with fellow fans! You can also hear us speak and speculate about the forthcoming Hobbit movies, at our panel at 9pm on Friday night.
And don’t forget, you can party with us tomorrow (Thursday) at 8pm at the Speakeasy Room! This is the bargain of the year – you would not believe the amount of amazing stuff we have to give away to attendees! For just $25, you get a goody bag which includes a T-shirt, TORn button and Sideshow gift card; two entries into the raffle with amazing Hobbit prizes from Weta, Noble Collection, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and Sideshow Collectibles; your first drink; food; and, of course, great company with fellow fans! Where else can you get a private party in Manhattan, plus all those freebies, for such a price? Last few tickets available here, until 3pm on Thursday, or on the door! Do come and join us!
