2022 Skate America

[sk9tingfan]

Do you happen to know section numbers? I’m not sure how detailed the seating chart will be.

Please share any info you may get from the club. Thx

Although SCOB has a ticket ordering mechanism on its website, I've only ordered tickets with a general admission description. Not sure if USFSA will rely on the club website/box office to fulfill ticket orders based on an available seating chart or they will farm this out to Ticketmaster. Has anyone gone to an event with tickets sold by seating chart?

I went to the Gala in Dec and it was assigned seating. It was through SCOB's website - just looked at the email it included the email version of the assigned seats. I know I picked the seats.

Thank you so much!

The NFL schedule normally is released a couple weeks after the NFL Draft which takes place from April 28-30. It's normally on a weeknight, so the best guesses for the NFL schedule currently are May 10-12. A Patriots home game would be a disaster!

The NFL just announced it will release the schedule for the 2022 season on the evening of Thursday, May 12th.

I emailed the club on Wednesday and have not received a response.

They must be getting bombarded. @smurfy responded that the last event he or she attended used the assigned seating mechanism, so it appears that they could well handle the ticketing.

They may need to make alternative arrangements for servers, though, as the previous ticket sales were mostly "trickle". I imagine that the SkAm ticket process might require technology that supports more simultaneous sessions.

If I had to bet money, I'd bet they'll use Ticketmaster.

 

[overedge]

Oh no, not TicketBastard
I can just see them holding back tickets from an already small number and then putting those up for sale at $$$$ prices on their "best available" section.....(and yes they have done this with concert tickets at other venues).

 

[TanithandBenFan]

SCOB replied to my email and said they do not have any details regarding the event right now.

One of my small thrifty habits (I don’t have many) is GOING to Kennedy Center or National theater or really anywhere in the city to buy tickets at the box office. Not only do I save $10-$30 but sticking it to the ticketing services is so pleasant.

 

[Evgeniafan]

I think I will buy my tickets directly at SCOB.

 

[TanithandBenFan]

Got my tickets through the FOFS presale! The seat map is not detailed to show where the judges sit, but I found a map on the SCOB website from Theater on Ice that showed officials in front of sections 114-115 so I assume they will be there again. The closest row I could get in 114 was row H. Everything below it was blocked out. With the fees the ticket was $253.

 

[Firedancer]

I got my tickets too! Section 107, row D, seats 1 and 2

Ohhhhh. I'm so jealous of y'all for being insiders!

 

[Evgeniafan]

How do you preorder?

 

[TanithandBenFan]

How do you preorder?

You have to be a member of Friends of Figure Skating. I think if you join now they’ll send you the code.

And that matches the setup they had for the U.S. Classic.

Looking forward to attending my first live (major, my club's doesn't count ) comp since 2020 Nats!

If you were to choose a permanent venue for Skate America, where would it be?

 

[jamesy]

If you were to choose a permanent venue for Skate America, where would it be?

Vegas or Lake Placid, nothing in between.

 

[SkateSand]

Las Vegas. It meets all my criteria for a competition skating venue: easy air access, no need for a rental car, walking access to hotel(s) and restaurants. The Strip is just a bonus.

 

[TanithandBenFan]

Definitely not Lake Placid!

Any city that has a substantial airport and requires a drive of 30 mins or less to the arena.

 

[Spikefan]

Close to a major airport, venue within walking distance to hotels and dining and no need for a car. I loathe driving, especially at night after a long day of watching skating. I like it in Vegas because of those factors but not sure I would go every year as I generally dislike Vegas (although off strip has been enjoyable).

 

[PRlady]

Cheap hotels close to the arena and direct flights. I’d go to Chicago or Detroit but not to the west coast. And never Vegas. It’s one city where my loathing is greater than my love of live skating.

 

[sk9tingfan]

Vegas or Lake Placid, nothing in between.

The arena in Hoffman Estates worked well from accessibility (air, train). hotel and restaurant perspectives.

I wouldn't vote for Hoffman Estates because I had to get a long distance shuttle from the airport ($50 at the time? something like that) and there is only one hotel within walking distance and while I don't mind a walk, it was a little longer walk than a lot of people would like, and if the weather is shaky it's an uncomfortable walk.

 

[alizadavida]

Do you think if i don't do the presale i could get tickets to just the skating spectacular on Sunday?

 

[sk9tingfan]

BTW, I was making my hotel reservations using the spectator special rates provided. Please note that the stated rates are based on a 5 night stay and may go up substantially with a shorter stay. Buyer Beware!
