Queuing on the ISU site along with 137 other souls. I wonder how empty the arena might be as many of my Canadian friends are invested in the World Series. I saw a meme that said Canadian Halloween is over at 7:59 pm Eastern.

The CBC sports player and Skate Canada Dailymotion streams are both live, supposedly to show the opening ceremonies but so far it is just advertisements. CBC seems a bit behind DM.

Update - once the anthem was sung they switched to a Ted & Joanie pre-game show. Ted is in Vancouver.

Tickets were being advertised for sale at the box office for 50% off earlier today.

 

[ChillSkate]

Excited for the first Grand Prix of the season I can watch live (on TV)!!

 

[Wyliefan]

We're having an unusually busy trick or treat night here. Hope they're about done in time for skating.

 

[Karen-W]

Home from work in time for skating at a reasonable hour instead of waking at ungodly hours of the night!

Yeah, tons of empty seats in the arena right now. But security is also super slow, so it might improve closer to 5?

 

[skatfan]

Well, there’s another big sports thing tonight in Canada

 

[Aaron MB Fan]

Here in the arena and ready for SCI to begin!!! Been almost an entire year since my last live international competion. Soooo excited!!

Also, GO JAYS GO!!!

 

[Skate Talker]

Well there are a few bottoms in seats - pretty much what I would expect between the early start, (if I were still working I would still be at work), and the other big event on.

 

[Rukia]

i hope no trick or treaters come mid-program they don't know i'm busy

 

[skatfan]

Also, GO JAYS GO!!!

Lifelong Dodgers fan here - I agree!

 

[tony]

Starting with a bang with Oxana and Tom. VERY excited to see how these two can build in the next few years. They've already made insane improvement!

 

[tony]

Also RIP tunnel of skater intros this is very tamed down

 

[Lizziebeth]

I live down a dirt road with only one close neighbor and never get trick or treaters. I am sitting here with only one light on.

I don't have any candy because I would eat it all!

 

[Dave of the North]

Watching from home, usually we have bridge Friday nights, but we moved it to the afternoon due to Halloween. Hope the last of the kids has shown up as we have no treats left.

 

[Moto Guzzi]

i hope no trick or treaters come mid-program they don't know i'm busy

I don't get many trick or treaters so I didn't buy any candy this year. I am holed up in my bedroom watching on my tv instead of watching in my living room so nobody will think I'm home.

 

[Skate Talker]

Don't need to worry about trick or treat-ers. We haven't had one here for over 50 years.

 

[her grace]

i hope no trick or treaters come mid-program they don't know i'm busy

Just set the bowl outside. They can help themselves.

 

[skatingguy]

YouTube stream is live.

 

[Kateri]

Solidarity with those watching in the dark cause they're hiding from trick or treaters!

 

[peibeck]

I have never had trick or treaters on my little cul de sac as long as I've lived here. I have candy though. Oh well....

Appropriately they put the scary pairs and their equally scary lifts on Halloween though.

 

[Baby Yoda On Skates]

My husband insists on handing out candy so the dogs are going nuts.

I would have just stuck the bowl outside.

 

[Wyliefan]

Ran out of kids and candy just in time!

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

OK kitty cats let’s get the show on the road, just got back to the states went to the grocery store got all the Halloween candy on sale, and ready to watch the pair short program and gain five unnecessary pounds

 

[Firedancer]

I never get trick or treaters so I don’t buy candy anymore

 

[Sally1214]

Talk about a multi-tasking evening. I'm here for a Grand Prix skating event I can actually watch live, while still having trick-or-treaters coming to the door and, in one hour, I'll have the TV on as well because .... well .... it's a BIG night .... GO, JAYS, GO!!

 

[ilovesalchows]

We get a lot of kids. I might just put the bowl on porch and when it’s gone it’s gone.

 

[danafan]

I love that the Skate Canada dailymotion feed won't have commentary during the program. I have to say the picture is crystal clear and way better quality than usual.
