Sorry, double post

We will not be able to watch practice at the practice rink since they are not selling tickets - right?

Do they say anything about re-entry policy?

"One week to go until the Championship! We’ve taken over the O2 universum and started building the training rink. At the press conference, we shared all the latest updates from the Organizing Committee."

I saw they are now selling "Fast Track" entry tickets as a separate item from the event tickets for each segment, so theoretically these provide quicker access/shorter lines to get into the arena? Does anyone have more info on this?

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

I got some information from Anna bot from home page.

Yes. Bags larger than 40 x 30 x 20 cm are not allowed in the O2 arena, so a small ladies’ bag sized 25 x 20 x 5 cm is within the limit and should be permitted. Security screening is in place, and contents must comply with the prohibited items list (e.g., liquids in containers over 100 ml like perfumes are not allowed). If your bag were ever deemed too large or contained restricted items, you can use the on-site Left Luggage (Úschovna) by the North entrance (cash-only)

Oh, I didn't know that Prague operates an airport out of O2 arena.

Looks like they're copying Boston Worlds - from isuprague2026's reply in the comments of their Insta post: "In addition, between the programs, all visitors from the arena have to go out and go back inside": https://www.instagram.com/p/DWBfkDBjEZB/

There are ~2 hours between events on 3 of the 4 days. Much more time than the turnaround in Boston, where it was a mad rush to get a table at a nearby restaurant immediately if you wanted to get back in time.

Ashley Wagner said on The Runthrough that she and Tomas Verner will be the in-arena hosts for the event.

If you look at the doors opening times it's 45 min for entry. That's never gonna work for everyone to get in and see the first skater. Especially not with their strict camera and food rules which will cause a lot of discussion
