2024 World Figure Skating Championships in Montreal

[kimkom]

Sitting in the upper, upper level would just suck watching figure skaters. The Montreal Hockey team (Habs) likely? Could sell out. The Habs are revered and adored in Montreal.

GO LEAFS!!

Well, it's not like it's full.

It’s pretty full and second level especially. Biggest crowd I have seen in Canada for a while

 

[Parsley Sage]

Earlier today tickets sold out for the April 20th PWHL game at the Bell Centre between Montreal and Toronto.

GO LEAFS!!

Go Sens!!! . Our rivalry continues lol. I always say friendly because I have a friend and family member that are diehard

 

[TanithandBenFan]

I need it to be less full. My bladder almost burst because of the long restroom lines Are there really only two restrooms in this huge-ass arena?

Shocking, but yes. If you’re over on the judges side, it’s a long way

Yes. Pairs short has a good crowd, on Wednesday afternoon. As always in Canada excellent receptions for the skaters. Thus far all the posts talking about how low attendance would be are not accurate.

It’s people that are not at the rink lol yes great crowd

There’s actually a really decent crowd right now. Even the second tier is pretty full.

They obviously sold bulk seats to local skating clubs at the last minute.

GO LEAFS!!

Are you trying to die in Montreal?

Should have brought my Leafs toque!

The seats we were supposed to be in are uncovered today, marked for photographers. But no photogs are sitting there right now, so Alison Reed is there. (But we have a better view. )

 

[Lanie]

We’re in 115, photographers are here

 

[Judy]

I’m wondering how much it costs to rent an arena for a week. I googled but you can only contact them.

I wish! That would have been nice.

The crowd is loving DJ Kaitlin!

Shame they had to cut for sponsors! (Understandably but still)

The next Kate sighting?

 

[TanithandBenFan]

They converted one of the men’s restrooms into a women’s restroom but there are only urinals with curtains blocking the stalls. I’m so confused.

Has anyone whose been to the event so far know if we're allowed to bring a bag in the Bell Center? I've seen the rules for the arena in general but i've also seen pics of people with different kinds of bags so now i'm confused

Bag size is max 12x12x6 (inches).

Bag size is max 12x12x6 (inches).

My purse is just under 14” wide and I had no issue. Depends on who you get at the door, I guess.

 

[Sonata]

If I’m in Canada, how can I watch the event once it is over? It is ironically harder to watch this event in Canada than if I were watching an international event.

You can watch it on the cbc web site, the same where they broadcast it live. Other than that, Skate Canada has a Dailymotion page!

Thanks! Once the event is done, it no longer plays on CBC gem or CBC sports. Maybe they’ll upload it later, but it’s frustrating - especially since the event is in Canada for the first time in over 10 years.

So that explains the young folks (late teens?) sitting behind me that seem knowledgeable- but they keep kicking the back of my seat. One time when I turned around - a girls feet were resting on the top of the back of my seat - ewww.
Maybe they will not be there tomorrow.

I've been bringing in a nylon bag (2020 merch) that is about 24 x 12 x 12. They look inside but only seem concerned that water bottle and travel mug are empty. Black grocery bag from Provigo across the street disappears in the black interior. So far I've brought in sushi, cow bells, other snacks with no problem. Just have it out of sight.

 

[BittyBug]

...cow bells...

LOL.

Ive Got A Fever And The Only Prescription Is More Cowbell

Bruce Dickinson needs Gene to put more cowbell into his performance so i he tells him about his fever

And did you notice there were no sinks either? Don’t guys wash their hands?
If this happens tomorrow, when you walk out look across and you’ll see a hand sanitizer station.

Internet getting sketchy with all these people here

I gave up on the Bell Centre wifi and switched to using data.
