2018 & 2019 ISU Championships Provisional Allotments update

[el henry]

Quebec City's arena is kinda in the middle of nowhere. And when they did GPF, people had to use OUTDOOR PORTA POTTIES. I hope that things have changed.

But I really want Worlds to go to Montreal. Skate Canada has been focusing on smaller arenas, but maybe after seeing how successful Boston was, they thought Montreal could attract fans. So, you East Coast Americans, you better come!

Eta: thanks for the updated information. No more outdoor Porta potties!

Depending on how it's going, if we East Coast Americans go to Montreal for Worlds, we might not go back....

 

[LKR]

Note that Skate Canada's bid proposal was requesting venues with a maximum of 10,000 seats, so it will be a smaller arena.

Please please please let if be Montreal. I have family there so wouldn't have to pay for a hotel.

They had an information booth at Helsinki Worlds this week. The man told me ticket sales will begin in two weeks. The venue is Mediolanum Forum.

Thank you so much!!! Finally I can arrange everything to go to Milano then! Are you very familiar in buying tickets for this kind of events? I'm very new in this. It's my first Championship to join and I'd really like to buy tickets for all events (full package). I think I'm going to write to the venue just to be sure.

Ah yes, the brand new Meldonium Forum. Smartly designed and constructed with a skeleton of chemically-reinforced concrete and a beautiful tension-cable and fabric roof revealing the latest in pumped-up pressure technology. Executives in charge of the new Forum proudly state their highest goal was that the venue bring out the "ultimate performance" from participating athletes. Features in the athlete areas include a state-of-the-art medical station (designed with the advice of top Russian team doctors) and comfortable restroom areas with individual stalls each having a little pass-through compartment at the rear for those pesky samples that WADA requires. Spectators aren't forgotten either. The public areas of the new Forum contain much-improved food and beverage outlets (always the bane of spectators at public arenas) that promise to offer both "regular" and "spiked" versions of popular beverages at fair prices, and a variety of tasty snacks that are guaranteed to get fans through even the most grueling 6 hour-long figure skating short program competitions.

Ooh, that sounds terrific! I can't wait to go there!!! Finally a dream come true! Let's hope it's easy to buy tickets for the whole event, as I'm going to the Championship for the first time!!

If worlds is in Montreal, I am SO there. I've been dying to get to Montreal anyways, so this is the perfect excuse!

Do you mean for the 2017-2018 season? All dates for Challenger Series, Grand Prix, and major ISU championships are listed on the 2017-2018 Event Schedule spreadsheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wru5kDLlOuetxsyNu6rap5q1I1Vfk9WZR5hfGMChpUw/edit?usp=sharing.

There's a few dates on there for non-CS senior Bs, but not all those dates have been set yet.
