2025 ISU World Figure Skating Championships in Boston

If you use PerksatWork, there are some good deals.

But be careful as there are "resort fees" associated with some of these places, not included in the price, that can be hundreds of dollars.
 
I have been calling and emailing SCOB since November 8 about my gala tickets that were sold to someone else, and I’ve gotten one short email reply that didn’t address my issue at all. If they’re going to bid on 2030 Nats I hope they get their customer service in order before then.
 
Am I to be pelted with donuts on sight? :eek:

I vaguely recall when I first joined FSU there was a "donut brigade" (I assumed peeps who showed up to early morning practice, donuts in hand). I thought you were one of the members? But guess not. :lol: 🤷‍♂️

FWIW, I emailed the contact address just before the all-event ticket sales ended. Got a generic auto reply email saying they would get in touch. No reply. I then emailed that address again, just replying to my first message. Promptly got another auto reply almost identical to the first, except for the addition of 'all-event tickets are no longer available'. :rolleyes: Still no actual human reply to anything.
 
Have you tried their phone# 781-352-0708?
I called and left a message, as well as sent an email, about my tickets a month or so ago…took a little time but they got back to me.
 
They finally replied to my last email and still didn't acknowledge the ticket snafu, so I immediately wrote back and got a response in which they have refunded my original seats and upgraded us to center ice row 5 at no charge!

I have to be honest compared to EVERY place else in the US I have dealt with on figure skating I have found Boston ahs the best customer service.

The friend I am attending with wouldn't agree. She's been trying to get seats in the handicapped section; barring that, she needs to sit in the top row of a section so she doesn't have to climb stairs.

She's spent days trying to get this done; Ticketmaster keeps referring her to the Garden and the Garden hasn't answered their phone or gotten back to her.
 
One of the reasons I like Boston is they let you pick your ticket during the pre-sale without paying the Ticketmaster fee or anything. And during that time they are very helpful. They had calls with a lot of of us to help us pick our exact seats. Experience has been that the organizing committee and the people they get working with them at the beginning on tickets, sales and stuff do excellent customer service.


Once you get into the regular sale where the tickets are controlled by Ticketmaster, it gets more out of their control. I didn’t say Ticketmaster had good customer service but the people that run the event have good customer service. Unfortunately, at this point when you’re buying tickets, you are probably going to be dealing with Ticketmaster and they don’t do customer service.

But I have a feeling that Boston is at high risk of being hated. I’m not sure they’re going to be able to get that bag size changed. Concert venues, and sporting venues are getting stricter every day as America gets more dangerous and I just don’t see them being that keen to change it. Especially if they now given up having all those people to Scan bags, etc. The venues like not having big bags because it makes getting people in so much faster and it requires less staff on their side.

I wasn’t dealing with Ticketmaster customer service, though. This was SCOB who didn’t respond to my emails or voicemails.
 
That’s really weird. I mean REALLY weird and not like them at all.
She's gotten automated replies assuring her that someone will be in touch right away, so her messages are getting through somewhere.

My friend has called repeatedly and emailed.... and nothing.

Is it TD Garden (as opposed to SCOB) that has not responded to help your friend? As you originally were saying? I hope her situation will be resolved soon.

My own experiences with SCOB's ticketing operation have been very good (both for 2022 Skate America and 2025 Worlds).
I'm glad that SCOB ultimately has taken care of TanithandBenFan with complimentary Worlds gala seats in a prime location, if I understand correctly.
 
TD Garden. Should she try SCOB?

My two cents are that I think it depends on the details of your friend's situation, although I suppose it would not hurt to give it a shot regardless.

If she is talking about single-session tickets, I am not optimistic that SCOB would be able to help, because SCOB itself never was directly selling single-session tickets (except for gala tickets as an add-on to all-event passes).

OTOH, if she already had purchased an all-event from SCOB via isuworlds2025.com, and the issue is to get a seat assignment that meets her needs, then maybe there is a chance that SCOB could help -- although I should add that at least one general update e-mailed by SCOB had said: "Please be aware that after November 8th, all ticketing data will be turned over to TD Garden and we will have very limited ability to assist you in amending your order."
