For my fellow "photographers" attending the event, I have a decision to make and would love to know what you would do... I have been going to competitions with my micro 4/3 mirrorless camera. I use a detachable lens that has a max reach of 175 mm. It adheres to US Figure Skating's camera policy...

I'm on hospitality, too! We can compare notes after we get assigned shifts. One of the shifts I put on my list is only 4 hours long. Maybe we'll end up working together.

My understanding is that volunteering (with a minimum of 2 shifts) gets you 2 tickets to one session, or 1 ticket each to two separate sessions. The seats would be in the designated sections for volunteers. I received a "late" approval, as well, but I am very excited to be working my first...

Aisle parties in section 102!!!!

My seat is in Loge 18, row 11. I won't have Yuki in front of me this time, because that's the first row of seats there. I've been randomly seated behind her for the last two comps I attended!

When I applied as a volunteer for 2022 Skate America, another event organized by SCOB, I initially received notice that I had not been selected. Then about one week prior to the event, I was completely surprised by an email stating that I was approved. There weren't many options left, but I...

Hi all! Just curious if anyone who signed up to volunteer for Worlds has heard from a committee chair regarding selection for a team. I'm hoping to hear soon. Fingers crossed.

On my way to Montreal! Need to figure out how to get the practice passes on Eventbrite. Since I am in an airport, I obviously do not have a printer available. And I don't have one at home, either. Fingers crossed!

My copy is out for delivery. Not sure I'm emotionally prepared to read it, but I want to support Gracie and try to fully understand her experience.

Is anyone who is attending the event staying at Le Square Phillips or the Hotel Bonaventure?

When all event tickets were on sale, they were for all competition sessions and practices at the main arena only. I have never seen any indication that the practice rink would be open to spectators.

Do I have any FSU neighbors in section 18, row 11?

Just saw a post that there will be a pre-sale for Friends of Figure Skating "supporters." Not sure I want (or need) to shell out an additional $125 to purchase an already expensive ticket. And with the system they are using, where someone contacts you individually, would a pre-sale just put you...

I've always signed up for the lowest tier membership, and then purchased FOFS breakfast tickets separately. I don't always attend competitions every year; sometimes I'll go 3 years in between. I don't see anything about that being an option for the Fan and Friend levels. If they have done away...
