It is not just meant for skaters but also Federations - the first line says:

And at the bottom, it says:

By the way, I did not buy my tickets directly so am not sure what sort of mailing list they were using.

I got it too...I didn't get tickets; I'm just on their regular event mailing list.. LOL.

 

[quartz]

I didn’t get the invite. Guess I don’t have to worry about what outfit to wear.

 

[missing]

I was going to get that peach colored bridesmaid's dress I wore in 1974 out of hock.

Fashion's loss is the pawnshop's gain.

 

[overedge]

I got the invite too. My first thought was that since Skate Canada cancelled Adult Nationals, I guess we get to compete at Worlds instead

The Worlds 2020 people seem to have screwed up again. They sent an email out to ticket buyers (I know this because my friends and I all got it) that's meant for the skaters:

Special Events

I hear Pooh ears and N95 respirator masks are all the rage.

Looks like Worlds are still a go!

 

[smurfy]

I was wondering if there are any skaters that may not be coming - because of where their flight would originate, number of stops, or their government or personal choice.
I read about the Russian gymnasts not coming to Milwaukee US for the World Cup.

That's possible but Worlds is still over 2 weeks away and lots can happen in that time. We know that some skaters are already in Canada or the USA; some train in North America anyway and some came early.

Does anyone know if the day tickets have gone out yet?

so is no one concerned about being in the bell centre with thousands of people??

 

[jaro]

Probably a dumb question. Does anyone know exactly what the red carpet event is? I’ve been assuming that was for skaters only but I’m not sure what good it does them if no one sees them on the red carpet. And if it is open to the public what is it?

 

[ChiquitaBanana]

No...unless we’re obliged to hug and kiss every single one person in the building...

 

[quartz]

Despite being an introvert, I am a hugger. I have already started reminding myself, NO. Other than that I’ll just be diligent about hand washing and observant about those coughing in my vicinity.

 

[skategal]

I have a very short list of who I would hug at Montreal Worlds.

Nik Sorensen might be the the only one on the list....

He’s worth getting sick over....other people not so much...

I was thinking that maybe if I run into Ted, I might want to hug him. Or Raf, just to see the pissy look on his face.

I am, as well as having to stop over at La Guardia airport. So I'm not going, unfortunately. Still trying to sell my ticket for Friday's dance and ladies FS event.

 

[Yehudi]

I live in New York. I ride a packed subway to and from work. The line I take is also popular with people going to and from JFK, as well as homeless people. I regularly pass a busy and packed tourist destination to get to my office. And we have people from all over the world coming and going.

I’d actually feel safer in Montreal.

SNL had a musical skit about airport/ La Guardia this past Sat - all flights go to Cleveland! Fun skit -included musical guest David Byrne.

IIRC it's like a red carpet before the awards show. So I guess the non-performing skaters and the award nominees and the special guests (if there are some) will walk down the red carpet and pose for the paparazzi before going into the event.

I would guess that if you have a ticket for the awards/gala you would get to see the red carpet too, but who knows.

That was an awesome skit

 

[Cayuse]

Does any know which seating sections are on the judges or opposite the judges? I have my tickets but can't find a seating chart that actually shows where the judges are stationed. Just curious.

So, judges in front of 112 etc.
