At Skate America this year they blocked us into three specific sections for practice so they may be planning that for nationals as well.
Not sure if it's been addressed already, but there are some practices scheduled for Solar4America Ice on January 4th and 5th. All-event ticket holders never got any tickets to these practices.
For those of you who are already working the event, would you know if the Solar4America practices are open on the 4th and 5th? If so, are they open to folks with SAP Center practice passes (which demonstrates our all-event ticket holder statuses), to folks who show the all-event ticket holder lanyard, or to the general public?
From an email I got from SAP Center the other day, it seems like the lanyard is the fallback, but I wanted to ask out here as well.
Confirmed! I got my practice passes later than everyone else and upon looking more closely at them, yes, the 1/4 and 1/5 passes have both venues listed.My practice passes for those days say "Practice Sessions Only Solar4America Ice & SAP Center At San Jose" so the practice passes are good for both venues - did you check your SAP Center account to see if you could print those practice passes out? They added practice passes after I printed out my events so I had to go back and print out the additional ones.
It just occurred to me that I gave my Monday tickets to a skater's family, since I'm not arriving until Tuesday. I guess that means they'll get the lanyards (do they say "all-event" on them?). Oh well, no big deal...or do the lanyards actually get us something like wristbands or reentry?There's a table slightly to the right as you enter Solar4America Ice--the same place where they sell the $30 day passes. They'll ask to see one of your tickets. If you bought more than one all-event package, you may need to point that out so you get the right number of lanyards, etc.
A question: I am selling my tickets and basically giving the practice passes as an extra freebie, the seats at SAP Center for a practice pass are GA4, Row G2. What does this mean, I assume they have a designated section for practice passes, any idea where it will be?
I'm only planning to go to Solar on Wed, so it's not a big deal. If the people working the desk at Solar are just handing the lanyards to those with the all-event tix, then those with my tix probably won't know the backstory - it's OK. Whatever happens, happens. I've got all my practice tix and the exorbitant shuttle passes, so I'm set. Just hoping IN works tonight and tmrw.Debbie, I would hope that the recipients of your tickets will not grab your lanyards. In any case, I don't think you'll have a problem getting into practices with your practice tickets. You might just not have bothered to pick upmthe lanyards, so how could they say your practice tickets were worthless?
Public session opens this afternoon so there should be some infoCan anyone advise as to the indoor temperature at the SAP Center? Conditions can vary and am deciding what kind of jacket to wear over a light sweater.
Since Mirai is the person you are "most invested in", you would enjoy the chance for that close-up, IMO.The ladies since I could get a close-up look (hopefully) of Mirai Nagasu, the person I'm most invested in at the competition?
Hey everybody I’m flying out tomorrow, Thursday morning. Will be attending the men’s short program. Anyone still interested in walking back to the Fairmont with me after the men’s event?
We could meet at the top of section 116 after the event is over, unless someone has a better suggestion.
