One of my Booking.com reservations canceled today after initially accepting the reservation. The company offered solutions. I have a backup, but I have a feeling we will be seeing a lot of cancellations.

I think it is to ensure they do not get bookings for various reasons: they are unsure if they will be managing the property next year, they are not ready to accept reservations yet, they haven't decided what their rates will be or the minimum length of stay they want... I work in travel and have...

I sent one inquiry via AirbNB for an apartment, I suppose it was around 130 euros per night. The host declined. I now received an offer from the same host to book it at 5000 euros per night :rofl: They obviously do not expect anyone to pay that, I just wonder why even offer.

Anyone have a slot right now? What is the situation with figure skating and with the opening ceremony?

We didn't want a hotel as we'd like to have the option to cook rather than spend money in restaurants for all meals. Most hotels are showing ridiculous rates or no availability so I'm guessing they have not opened their booking just yet. Or they are truly sold out? Either way, I feel better...

I tried three before getting a confirmation from the fourth. I also made some refundable reservations on Booking.com. I won't keep them all for very long because I want others to be able to secure their reservations, but I am a bit worried about cancelations from the hosts. I am not sure what is...

The tickets are terribly expensive, sadly. That was a great system. I was wondering if they would be releasing a fresh batch of ticket each day so everyone has a chance and guess that's a no. The most popular events are gone. I am sure there will be a chance for everyone through the official...

Can anyone confirm whether new blocks of tickets are made available every day or are some events/price tiers really sold out?

Group therapy for all surviving members of the "my wife is a figure skating fan" support group. Tough luck.

I'm hoping we get to move. I decided to get the Team event short program tickets. It's on Friday morning and I do expect an empty arena.

Oh yeah, limits. Congrats to everyone who got their tickets today! Makes me wonder how the interest is if so many of us got slots on day 1 and 2.

I mean, you can always tell the fam to go and enjoy Milan that night. They can join my husband :D

Yeah, I hear you. I lost the cheap tickets for that due to time limit and just thinking about what to do (and of course husband texting me to say he wants to come to, therefore, a total change of plans). In the end I bought one cat B for the final instead of two cat Cs, and he gets to go on Day...

Tell me about it. I was planning to do Team final + some dance + MS or some three days in a row towards the end of the games, and here I am going to the team event + the opening ceremony.

Why did you do separate transactions? I did it all at once.
