[FSWer]

Are they coming to the XL Center in Hartford or Total Morgage Arena?

 

[alizadavida]

Excited to go to the Boston show again! Debating on getting the meet and greet tickets since they're $100 and last year was kind've rushed. Wonder if the VIP Tickets for USFS members will have any special deals.

Boston is easily accessible by the MBTA on the green line.

@FSWer, as of today Boston's Agganis Arena's June 3rd show is the closest city to CT.

I'm kind of surprised they aren't going to San Jose this year and really surprised that Palm Springs gets a show! That's pretty cool that they have a new arena though... wonder if it can become a "skating city". Anyway, glad to be able to go to Anaheim each year! Just wish I could have pre-ordered last year... it's so expensive to pay the Ticketmaster fees!

I’m surprised San Jose got dropped as it was pretty full last year but maybe it‘s due to Nationals. I guess the new arena in Palm Springs made a bid. But two in SoCal and none in the Bay Area?

It could have been a scheduling conflict. The U.S. tour is 2 weeks long, not much time to play around with dates.

 

[cheremary]

The tour schedule page does say to watch for more shows to be added soon, so perhaps they are still confirming dates for San Jose and other cities.

San Jose is usually on Mother’s Day, we’ll hopefully know during National’s week.

 

[paskatefan]

Finally an international cast after so many years of letting SOI know that USA fans want to see them too! Kurt, Piper & Paul, Satoko!!!!!! We've got to go to either the Baltimore or Hershey show! Probably Hershey as it is a bit closer.

 

[Debbie S]

San Jose is usually on Mother’s Day, we’ll hopefully know during National’s week.

The Canada tour (which most of the U.S. tour skaters are on) ends May 18 in Vancouver, so any additional West Coast stops would probably have to fit in between Anaheim and Palm Springs. Any open dates at the SAP Center that week?

There's also space between Palm Springs (Fri, May 26) and Chicago (Tue, May 30). I don't see anything on the SAP event calendar for that weekend.

I think there will be a San Jose SOI tour stop, but it probably can't be announced until during or at the end of Nationals to avoid ticket sales competition. IIRC, SOI announcements for San Jose have been made during or on the last day of Nationals in San Jose in the past.

They handed out flyers advertising the show to attendees at the exhibition IIRC, but the tour dates (inc San Jose) had already been announced.

 

[Lanie]

Bummer nowhere near me.

 

[alizadavida]

Tickets for the cheap tickets for the Boston show are on the sides: $30 (row L back), $1.75 processing fee, $5 facility charge, $11 service fees. $50 for K forward. On the middle is $95/$165 (on ice seats).

I got my ticket today so looking forward to it!

You might want to clarify this is for the Boston show.

My tickets for Baltimore, center section, row F, were $90 apiece plus the usual zillions in Ticketmaster fees. We used to be a cheap arena but I suspect the renovation has put an end to that. Oh well, can't have everything!

 

[YukiNieve]

It was funny that some venues were not avaialble in the begining (such as Hershey) for VIP pre-sale and then later became available suddnely (I am not talking about the time differences).

In the email I was sent it said all would be available for VIP pre-sale at 9am with the code and link that we were supposed to use. I never had to enter my code though.

 

[skipaway]

Got tickets to Baltimore too!

 

[love skating]

I thought the presale didn't start until the 18th - is there another way to begin purchasing tickets?

There was a sign-up on their website for a "VIP presale" and they sent an email with a coded link. The password is "Superstar" but I'm not sure if you can get in through the Ticketmaster site.

Thank you! I literally just got the email now myself!

@FSWer, as of today Boston's Agganis Arena's June 3rd show is the closest city to CT.

Agganis Arena is a slog down the Green
line through BU. I used to work there- most racist bunch of people I’ve ever worked with. Would not touch a show with any sort of “urban audience” (we have the students to protect!) but let the Dropkick Murphys play to a bunch of slobbering drunks every St Patrick’s Day. Hate hate hate the place. That’s all.

 

[paskatefan]

Hershey, PA, here we come!

 

[Debbie S]

Just got an email about the regular presale starting today. Password is STARS23.

 

[Yuri]

Just got my pre-sale email and my code was NATHAN. I just bought a pair of good tickets for Baltimore. Actually I have never attended SOI and it'll be the first time I've been to a tour in at least 20 years since the days of the Tom Collins/Champions On Ice tours.
