When Australia hosted the ISU Junior Grand Prix of Brisbane in 2017, tickets for that event were free as well. While the event was held in a small but stylish venue, we're happy to say that audiences filled the building to capacity for each session.
Back in the day when we backpacked across North America between the year-end break from university in Australia, we would mix sightseeing with skating competitions. We also did it on a shoestring budget, staying at budget hostels and travelling on a standby airline ticket. (Do those things even exist now?)

That must have been quite some time ago, because so-so all-event tickets (corner, at least 15 rows up) for the first US nationals I attended in the mid 90's were already at least several hundred dollars. The program book alone was $10. (I found my ticket stubs but they don't have pricing on them.)
I had the same issue with the Ticketportal site - three of my credit cards were rejected.
Haha. I'm not that old and from memory Detroit was a pretty hard sell, which probably explains the lower ticket prices.
We found that unless you have a credit card that has an end date after an event is being held, they most likely won't be accepted.
My card info didn’t work and it expires in 2029. When I clicked Apple Pay with the same exact card info stored, it went through.
All three of my cards expired after the event. I also had used one of the cards to book a hotel in Prague a few weeks ago with no issues. For some reason, Ticketportal did not like my credit cards.
Yeah I figured it was just the ISU being lazy with their words!@tony - I think the GP News article was just a generalized article regarding the 7-12 finishers at Worlds getting two. The top 12 in Pairs at Worlds definitely didn't get two GPs this year - VLDigs were 12th in Boston and only got 1. Of course, the top 15 at Worlds in Dance did wind up with 2. It's all a function of the lack of spots in pairs.
