2026 Skate America in Everett, WA; Salt Lake City for 2027 U.S. Nationals - info/planning thread

[Capt. DeSoto]

I had never looked into FOFS before, but I just read benefits page about it and I'm a little confused... it says that FOFS members get advanced ticket sales to Skate America, but not U.S. Championships. Yet everyone seems to be buying tickets to U.S. Championships this morning, right?

I still haven’t received an email for these events.

What is the link to purchase? I was forwarded the email by Robert but the link/button doesn't work. The championship website doesn't load. I can't find anything on Ticketmaster. This shouldn't be like this.

Edit: resolved

Yes they have given discounts like for worlds and things not listed on that site.

I got past the presale-code entry process right away, but my credit card (the one I use every year for Nationals tickets) was declined for no good reason. By the time I got that figured out, the shopping cart had expired. At that point (around 12:20 PM EDT), neither code would work. But a couple of minutes later, one of them did.

I've found in the past Chrome works better than Edge for TicketMaster purchases. I have no idea how other browsers perform.

Chrome works better than Firefox as well, for TicketMaster.

The promo codes didn’t start working for me until about five or six minutes after the supposed start. I refreshed a bazillion times lol. It’s nerve wracking when you’re buying for six people which is a big chunk o’ change!

All the rows below 15 in sections 101 and 126 behind the judges are blocked out. I got row 15 in 101 on the center aisle.

In sections 102 and 125 the $600 seats start in row 7.

Thank you @Sylvia, I wish they'd just come out and say that from the beginning. I don't know how they expect to grow a fan base when they only ever dole out half of the information. Why keep it secret? Just come right out and say "Per-event ticket sales, if available, will go on sale in the Fall of 2026" or something similar.

Whatever gave you the impression they were trying to grow a fan base?

Just got an email from USFS that the "fan presale" starts tomorrow at noon ET. Code is FNAS27.

There is also a note that SA tix will not go on sale this week. They will send an email when the sale is scheduled.

I got it too. Way too expensive for me!

@Lanie and I will be in Section 102, row 8

The announcement on US Figure Skating says - All-session tickets for championship-level competition.

Not only does it not say anything about junior (which we now know it does not include), it does not say anything about practice either. Did someone mention "growing a fan base"?

Happy to say that all-session tickets for Nats do include senior practices, per e-mail reply from USFS to me today.

TBH, I forgot to ask for confirmation that all-session tickets exclude 2027 junior competition -- the exclusion implied by the press release.
I was not eligible for FOFS presale. Was it clear at the time of ticket purchase that junior competition definitely is excluded? Thanks.
