We fund the ceremony (theater rental, and half a zillion other expenses) mainly through ticket revenues. This year we are offering a few special “Ig Glorious” tickets, for persons who want to be specially supportive. Ig Glorious tickets come with special perks: Excellent seats; An Ig Nobel poster, signed by at least one Ig Nobel Prize winner; A vintage Ig Nobel t-shirt; Their photo taken at the Ig Nobel lectern on stage (before or after the ceremony, at the discretion of the Stage Manager); Access to our Ig Glorious Liaison, a staff member assigned to the “Ig Glorious” group for the entirety of the event; And a hearty handshake!
The ceremony will happen on Thursday, September 18, 2014, at Sanders Theatre, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts. Ten new Ig Nobel Prize winners will be honored for achievements that make people laugh, then think. (For details, see the ceremony web page.)

Here are two videos of last year’s — 2013 — Ig Nobel Prize ceremony. The first video is the official recording, more or less as it was webcast live. The second video, which you may find frustrating to watch, is the alternate video feed, from our unofficial NSA Courtesy Cam. (Yes, we will again be providing two live webcast feeds for this years’s ceremony on September 18, 2014!)
UPDATE (July 7, 2014): The Press Association, in the UK, reminds us to remind you about this.
