I posted it in USA topic but i thought some people that wanna go can see it & we can discuss it here. I'M EXCITED!

The opening bell may be shown on financial TV channels like CNBC, Bloomberg, and Fox Business Channel, giving Delta extra exposure in the financial world at least for one day. The big question will be: will Wall Street continue the upward momentum after Dow Jones Industrial Index went up by a record 936 points on Monday?

^^ Now, can u please say that in English.. hehe

oooo very good press opportunity!! I hope we get pics . I need to go live in NYC so I don't miss all this Delta-ness going on there . If only my friend still had her apartment there... I could housesit for her while she's at school lol.

Ooh exciting!

Wow i wish I knew earlier. I hope we get lots of pics. I think that is good exposure.

I thought they meant bell as in ding-a-ling but they meant the judge hammer bell



Kyra Sedgwick did the Closing Bell on 7th July and they had her TV program as a banner in the background when she did it so perhaps they'll have a picture of the Delta CD on a big banner when she does it.

Does anyone know how important this opening bell is?
Does it get rung often?
And, just so I have the time right, is this happening in an hour?

ooh i thought it was a proper bell too

thats really cool; sounds like a good opportunity

That is absolutly fantastic! I'm sure its a great oportunity for exposure! I just wish I knew what it all meant? What does ringing the bell mean? Like why is it important? Ect ect!

She's there!

Is that it?

it doesnt sound that important actually - i thought it was something much bigger

btw i missed it haha can u please tell me what happened, how hot she looked, etc

Yeah it wasn't this huge show...all they did was have her album cover on the three TV screens around her, and she was up there with a man and when the time came he open the cover and I guess she pressed a button to ring the bell. She was hot, of course, and even though it wasn't this huge spectacle it is still quite cool to see her doing something like that.



Alice, ringing the bell just symbolizes (in this case) the start of the stocks trading for that day. I don't much understand this stuff, but people have been following it quite a lot lately, considering the state of the economy.

wish I had seen this sooner, I have Bloomberg.

Screencaps...







Riveting stuff.

^ Thanks a ton Jason!!!!!


I dont think they would have shown it.

Its what they do every week day

http://www.nyse.com/events/1021232178548.html#1014


Here I was thinking it was this really huge event because of the recent occurence hahah

Well the thing is, we still have the rest of the day to see any mention of her, just because of the big deal Wall Street has been lately. If this is another really good day or is a really bad day, there could be more attention placed on it and there might be a flash of the opening activities on television screens. Yes, this isn't some performance like on Letterman or The View, as those are the best things for mass exposure, but this is something.

I know, the Dow is up at the moment and I wouldn't invest in beverage stock at the moment.

Oh how brilliant and rather funny. Its these sort of things that Delta can really talk about in a few years time

"Remember the time I rang the bell for the New York stock exchange.."

she looks like a business woman she really does dress up appropriately for the occastion.. the NYSE was guarded and barred when i was there.. so m uch security..

I hope it's on youtube! I really want to see.

I just saw it on the dutch television (rtl 4)!!

I found some press photos, I'm trying to get them in HQ and find some more

just downloaded HQs

THANK YOU!!!!!!

Thank you for letting us know. I saw it and she looked great. http://www.nyse.com/events/1223893504097.html

How on earth her PR folks pulled that one off, I don't know but they are amazing!

For those not familiar with the NYSE and it's importance, it's the single richest and most influential world-financial institution on earth. To say this was a good move on the part of Delta's Management Team would be a major understatement.

Thanks again.

One Love

Considering all of the attention the NYSE has been getting recently, this can only raise her exposure level considerably.

I just hope the market doesn't crash like it did last week.

They've been talking about the NYSE nonstop on the news here today. I didn't have it on but I could hear it coming from my gma's tv downstairs. hopefully they showed Delta!

Supposedly the market is off to a much better start today.

Lets hope some big business people took note of her and will want to book her for some stuff.

Once again, you said it perfectly.

Have a beautiful day!

Ah she looks so beautiful!!

thats so cool! anyone know how the dow fared during the day?

Cool, I wouldn't expect Delta at Stock Exchange

Thanks

Did anyone see her on the news?

Have I missed it?

Was it on at noon news or something?

Damn school

haha It was just on Sunrise as well.... Koshie is very jeleaous, it's usually reserved for people that are head of state or something like that.

Pretty cool.

Finally adding the HQs (big thanks to Kelly!) to DD. My internet was being weird earlier. And looks like it still is It'll be awhile.

Thanks for the caps Jason
For the record, the Dow Jones Industrial Average Index edged up 1.30 points at the opening bell before surging up 407 points in the first half hour of trade. The rally faded and the Dow dropped by as much as 303 points in the afternoon, before recovering slightly. It closed at 9310.99, down 76.62 point from Monday.

haha thats random but so cool, what an experience for delta! carrie did that too in se.x and the city, haha

Thanks for them I hope the video is put up somewhere

I saw a bit on sunrise whilst waiting for brian haha

Jason has put the BBC News clip at DD: http://www.delta-tube.com/video/1259/NYSE-...g-Bell-BBC-News

I just saw it and I was very excited

I wish I could get the full clip ripped from the NYSE website, I can't get it though. It's longer than that clip.

brian was just on the morning show was so funny he said delta rang and told him and was like cool. then he said they prob just got her to do it so it's one more thing they can blame the aussies for. Eg the market crashes at the end of the day, thats cuz thats cuz that bloody aussie opened stock market this morning lol

if you go here:
http://www.nyse.com/events/1223893504097.html

The whole 'event' is as a video on there! You cant hear anything but noise and remember the bell is loud

that must have been so cool for her!

I hope they played snippets of her music (I haven't seen the videos, maybe they did) and the old businessmen decided to buy the album for their kids/grandkids/wives/whatever

great exposure

that is unbelievable exposure for her!
thats fantastic!

Thanks for videos and pictures everyone.

as far as I can see they can thank the aussie that rang the bell.
