Can NYC compete with the Valley? Find out November 20th.

I just got an event invite from New York Magazine that everyone should know about, and leads with an interesting question:
Can New York compete with the Valley as the hub of venture activity?

“Hmmm,” nextNYers wonder, “Can we?”

Find out this coming Monday, November 20th, as VC blogger Fred Wilson and NY Mag columnist John Heilemann talk about the New York tech scene and what will make NYC tech firms succeed. Tickets are $15 and will likely sell out soon, so get them now.

What?

Among the announcement’s teasers were:

How to turn creative little technologies into the next killer app

When should you bet big on a new venture

Can New York really compete with Silicon Valley

This is the inaugural event in New York Magazine and the Columbia Business School Alumni Club of New York’s new series called the New York Master Class Series.

Anyone having trouble buying tickets through the website as a non-member? I'm only prompted to log in (i.e., already a member), and buy tickets that way ... hmmm ...

Same here. I see no way to purchase as a non-member.

yeah, i'm having the same problem. strange that fred always says that he wants the info to be free (i.e. ny times select) but you need to be a member to be allowed to pay the other $15. i don't have a problem with the $15 cover it's the $75 membership on top of it that sucks....

I had no troubles buying a ticket as a non-member... there were 3 options... maybe there are no more tickets left as a non-member...

That was the problem. I emailed them. They ran out of non-member tickets.

are they any members willing to buy extra tickets in which us non-members can reimburse you for?
