From last year's thread:

It's 5 euros for the entire event. I'm watching for the 2nd day and didn't need to pay again.

I liked this quote from Stefania.

“I did not find someone crazy enough to do Ice Dance with me”, she joked. “My former partner is coaching in the USA. Since I can’t jump and my spins are horrible, I had to do something different.”

Adult skaters have a level of deprecation about themselves which is endearing.
