5) A few notes about the NYC / World Premiere:
A.  We recommend that you get your tickets early, because we expect that 
the event will sell out.
B.  Seating is General Admission.  So while acquiring your tickets early 
will guarantee you a seat, arriving early on that day will guarantee you a 
*choice* of seat.  (Early: 25-30 minutes before.)
C.  If you try to acquire your tickets and you get a message "Sold Out", 
don't despair - there well may be last-minute cancellations.  We recommend 
checking the YIVO website periodically for newly available seats.
D.  If you do get your tickets in advance but then find out that you can't 
make it, please cancel your reservation, as this will allow others to 
attend this special event in your stead.
E.  If you have any questions that are not answered here or on the links 
given, feel free to be in touch with binyumens at gmail.com

Mir hofn az mir veln aykh zen dem 22stn!  We hope to see you on the 22nd!
