The Crunchies are only a week away. Voting is closed. But the last batch of 150 tickets just went on sale. The startup awards ceremony and party will be held on January 18 in San Francisco, at the Herbst Theatre at 7:30 p.m. and will be followed by a party. This event is being produced by Read/WriteWeb, Venture Beat, GigaOm and TechCrunch.

In addition to the Richter Scales singing their Here Comes Another Bubble song live, Jib Jab will unveil some new videos at the ceremony.

Again, here are the details:

  • Friday, January 18, 2008 at 7:30 pm
  • Herbst Theater, San Francisco
  • Festive attire welcome. After-party to follow.
  • Tickets are available here, hosted courtesy of amiando.

The Herbst Theater has 916 seats, so we have just 450 general admission tickets in the balcony and dress circle to release for the event. Tickets are $40, and $10 from each ticket will be contributed to the American Heart Association in honor of Om Malik and in memory of Marc Orchant. The balance of the tickets are reserved for the 100 finalist companies, press and corporate sponsors.

Thank you to the sponsors of the 2007 Crunchies who are underwriting the event and making it possible to recognize outstanding contributions in our industry. Award Benefactors: Adobe, (new sponsor) Ask, Charles River Ventures, The Mayfield Fund, Microsoft, Our Stage and Sun Microsystems. Thank you also to our Program Sponsors, including (new sponsor) RealTimeMatrix’s Vortex, amiando our official ticketing sponsor, WeBreakStuff for design and MediaTemple for hosting.

If you are interested in orchestra seats as an event sponsor, please contact Jeannie Logozzo. We also still have a few sponsorship opportunities available, and would much appreciate your support underwriting the event.

Should hire those WGA folks to write some pithy quips

 

If/when this event sells out I have two tickets and i just found out I will be traveling next Friday and won’t be able to attend - if you want to grab these tickets at cost let me know.

 

snoooooze

 

Hasan - the tickets are not transferrable, but we can cancel your tickets so that someone else can go.

 

Just picked up my 2 tickets! Hope to meet Michael, Duncan and all the peeps Friday night! Pretty psyched!

 

Don’t feel like going to that event, but it’s a really great idea. I love how TechCrunch is becoming more and more built upon the idea of holding physical seminars… There should be MeetUp groups for TechCrunch across the country or something, I see something good coming from this

 

How does TechCrunch define “Festive Attire”?

 

Auston - I don’t know why or how that got onto the event details. I also don’t know what it means. The event will have people dressed formally as well as jeans/tshirt. Wear what you feel comfortable in.

 

What does TechCrunch mean by Festive Attire for a guy and for a girl?

Thanks

 

Alright, thanks. My girlfriend was wondering about how whorish she could dress for the event!

 

yup, i guess my girlfriend found my laptop open again…i didnt post that last comment…
