Oh good. I'm stuck in N.S. with my cat. I don't think he's a skating fan.

Re: 2018 Nationals have tickets & Hotel packages on sale now at Skate Canada
OK, I may take the plunge and try to get to the Nationals in Vancouver. Here are my questions for Elizabeth:
1) Is there a company where I can book the complete package, i.e. Hotel, transfers, and all event tickets?
2) Ticketmaster has tickets for these seats (in Blue), what is the best area for watching, and what row?
Thank you, thank you....

I travel with UniWorld and they do the full package, including transfers to the arena but the transfers are only available for the senior events. Check their information here: http://www.uniworldtravel.com/figure-skating.html You can download the "brochure".
Angela who leads the tours is presently in Regina with a large group.
If I'm buying my own tickets, I usually go for those at the end of the ice with a full view of the length of the ice (eg. 109/110) without the need to turn your head/look around or past someone else. My second choice would be a corner. Many people prefer to be on the side, however.
I'm usually happy a few rows up from the ice - perhaps 4 to 6 - but I think this is a fairly small arena so it probably doesn't matter a lot.
Hope that helps - now back to watching the ladies short programs from Regina!

Re: 2018 Nationals have tickets & Hotel packages on sale now at Skate Canada
Yes - if you download the brochure it should make that clear - it's an all-event ticket that means you can attend the novice and junior events (open seating) and the senior events plus the gala. The "senior" packages include the hotel and the transfers. All the pricing information is in the brochure.happyheini wrote: ↑Fri Oct 27, 2017 6:15 pm Thank you, Elizabeth.

There is also a registration form to download.
Angela will be back in the office on Wednesday but I believe there may be someone else you could speak to if it's urgent.
