I can’t believe the Gala alone is as much as the other day passes. That’s ridiculous for a 3 hour (at most) session of show programs.

When is the men's SP?

It all looks like price gouging to me.

Sorry about that! It’s Thursday... (I edited my original post!)

 

[Lara]

Presale is live - I got section 101/115 row D Monday and Tuesday practice tickets, which are seats I could never afford for the actual competition. Fingers crossed most skaters show up this early!

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Got a Saturday ticket in row C!

 

[ross_hy]

How do you access the presale? I'm on their mailing list but haven't heard anything.

Event Schedule – Montreal 2020

Thursday at 10:45

 

[PRlady]

With an unfortunate un-predicted home expense, I'm not going. But frankly, to get halfway decent seats in P3 for Thursday-Saturday is almost $700 and I wouldn't pay that anyway. (Helsinki, not a cheap city, was I think about half that price.) Maybe Canada is such a good skating audience that they'll fill every seat at these prices, in which case good for them, but I'm betting they overpriced.

 

[toddlj]

I assume those prices are CAD? Right now $1000 CAD is about $750 USD.

 

[jtpc]

Thrilled to have upgraded from my all-event aisle seat in Section 119, row G, to individual event aisle seats that are 5 and 6 rows closer, in Section 119, Rows A and B.

I'm unable to stay for the gala anyway, so when I saw that the total price for better individual event seats with no gala is not that much more than my all-event ticket with the gala, I jumped at the closer seats in the same price category.

Now I just have to sell my all-event ticket.

 

[gatorinfl]

I’m not happy that there are better individual tickets than what I was able to get during the all-event sale. Live and learn for Stockholm.

 

[BittyBug]

Seriously pissed about that.

 

[victorskid]

As I have reminded some other folks, it is quite possible, even probable, that some seats were on hold for tour groups and that they have now been released and been put up for sale. In addition, there is always the issue of confirming/identifying obstructed view seats - sometimes that makes some decent seats available quite late in the game.

I wish you could filter by aisle. The game to find aisle seats is time-consuming.
I’ve gotten tix in several different sections. I’ve always liked end seats by k&c but got aisle behind judges for one session. It’s a bit higher up (200s) but excited to have that view. Have also read that the 200s are possibly a slightly wider seat (as am I so I’ll sacrifice a few rows in distance for that.)

 

[4rkidz]

Seriously pissed about that.

Same in Helsinki I got better individual tickets than I did in London or Milan.. same each year

 

[nguyhm]

The ticket sales are open now. Still no level 6 or 7

 

[livetoskate]

Got my tickets for Fri. and Sat. of Worlds! Now I need to book a hotel.

 

[mocha-ice]

The seats in the 200s are roomier than the rest! Also just so you know there is a set of private boxes between the 100s and 200s, so you can not access the 200 level from the 100s. You will have to take an escalator from the main level (I’m assuming there’s an elevator option as well).

 

[livetoskate]

I'm debating between staying at the Residence Inn by Marriott (14 min walk from Bell Centre, free breakfast) or splurging on the Hotel Bonaventure, which appears to be a couple of blocks away. How bad of a walk could it be around the time of Worlds? The Sheraton is sold out already. If there are any other nice hotels that are less than $300 US a night close to the Bell Centre, I'd love to hear your recommendations! Thanks in advance.

I booked the Boneventure. I liked the idea that you can get to the arena through the underground system. Weather in Montreal in March could get yucky. And I can shop while I’m at it.

 

[quartz]

My favourite husband booked me an airbnb for $88 a night, 6 minute walk from the arena. That’s half of what I planned on paying for accommodations, so yay!

 

[Simone411]

I'm so excited for all of you, wish I could be there. I'll be watching, though, and looking for y'all in the arena! I Can't Wait!

 

[quartz]

Train is booked!! Now to google where the closest LCBO is.

 

[Alvyne]

We don't have LCBOs in Québec, look for the SAQ.

SAQ: Discover our selection of wines, beers and spirits online

The SAQ offers a wide selection of alcoholic beverages (wines, beers and spirits) available in more than 400 stores in Quebec, as well as a large number of products available for online purchase.

DOH! thank you

Quebec is different that they allow booze to be sold at convenience stores etc so pretty accessible.

For those that are going have fun! Quebec is known for their food so try and venture out for a good meal!

So convenient! And yes, so many restaurants - too bad it will likely still be too cold for all the outdoor patios to be open.

Customers also used to be allowed to bring their own wine or beer into restaurants. But that was some years ago, don't know if it is the case today.

If it is a restaurant called "Bring your own wine /apportez votre vin". Not the majority though.
