Where are you coming from? How are you getting there? What's your main reason for going?

I'll start. I'm driving from Cleveland. I'm going because I want my kids to see a stadium full of all types of Yidden, celebrating Torah learning together. I'm so thankful to be part of this big simcha for Klal Yisroel! I really hope that the Siyum makes a huge roshem on one child in particular, a teenager who struggles in school and could really use some inspiration. I'm davening that he feels the energy of all these neshamos united in ahavas HaTorah and it lights a fire inside of him.

I’m going with my husband because he is a Maguid Shiur we are coming from Panama but I didn’t get a ticket yet... could you sell me if you are sure you are not using it? When we decided to go all the cheaper tickets were sold out... ( my husband got one only I don’t have and also have a friend looking for one...)
If anyone knows somebody that have extra women tickets please let me know! Tyia!

Panama, wow! That's quite a trip! Yes, maybe the lady who isn't up for going could give you one of her tickets, that would be a great Imamother "shidduch"!

I'm desperately looking for ladies tickets if you want to get rid of them

DH is going with a group from our shul and his father and brother. I'm staying home with the children because we decided they weren't old enough to appreciate it, especially not if the weather is bad. Maybe next cycle.

My husband left for New York last night. From South Africa!!
He has been doing the daf for 7 and a half years and is so excited to be a part of the siyum.
Our yougest son (9 month old) is named 'Meir'.

Contact oorah.org for tickets they didn’t give them to me directly cause I can’t go

PSA: There is a WhatsApp chat with people selling their extra tickets

I’m going because my H.S. daughter is dying to go, and I’m off from work on that day, anyway, so I’m taking her.

I stayed home last time too, with little kids, and dh went. Now my kids are old enough that we can all go. It's crazy how fast the time flew by. Last Siyum they were so little!

Mazel tov South African ima! What an accomplishment for you and dh.

And to the lady who's taking her h.s. daughter, that's such a nice thing to do with your day off! Iy"H it will be a huge inspiration for her. My h.s. daughter is really excited too.

We're all going. Our kids are a little young, but to me it's like hakhel. It makes an impression even in kids who aren't old enough to understand. I don't expect them to sit through the whole thing, so we probably won't get there for the beginning, and I expect to walk around the concourse a lot rather than being in our seats the whole time, but I still think it will be an important experience.

I also have free tickets from Oorah but don't see how realistic for me to make it with young children at home who will come home from school. But husband thinks I should go and make arrangements for kids so I'm not giving them up yet.
