Starrcast, the four-day weekend wrestling fans have been looking forward to since it was first announced since it was first announced as a supplemental event to the All In Chicago show earlier this year is finally here, and this post will run through everything you need to know about this event. 

Whether that means what to do if you're actually here in Metro Chicago attending, tuning in on Fite TV, most recent updates, how to find us on Podcast Row and the event's schedule; this post will cover it.

Starrcast has absolutely exploded in the months since it was first announced as a wrestling podcast convention surrounding the All In Show, and we here at the Court of Nerds are proud to be one of the groups that bought into this event from the get-go. 

Let's get to the specifics: 

Starrcast kicks off 5 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 30 from the Hyatt Regency Schaumburg in Metro Chicago. People attending the show can pick credentials, bracelets and badges starting at noon, but that doesn't mean you're getting into the convention center early. 

The event itself is sold out, and Starrcast made it clear to not expect walk-ups or additional tickets because they want to abide by that thing known as a fire code, but that doesn't mean you can't watch or keep up with all the action. 

FITE TV is offering the Starrcast Weekend Pass with all the action for $99.99. This contains so many events, seriously it's jam-packed and one hell of a way to be a part of this historic event.

"In an industry where status can be defined by championship constructs and card placement status, it's easy to continue to strive for those things…to continue to be the type of wrestler that can exist within the modern era of pro-wrestling," a previous ALL IN news release reads.

"It's hard, however, to think of doing more, to think of bucking the status quo, and combating the monotony. It's not our courage alone, but the courage of every fan worldwide that has put us in this position."
