Is anyone else going to Skate America (Oct. 26-28)? I called the number listed at the website for the Sovereign Center, where it's being held in Reading, PA, and they are currently collecting names and numbers for all-event tickets.
But I left my name and number a couple days ago and they haven't called back. They said they're returning calls in the order they get them - so has anyone here on the boards heard back and been able to order their tickets? If I can't speak to anyone soon besides that women's recorded message, should I just buy individual tickets on sale at ticketmaster? I want the all-event passes to be able to go to the practice sessions in the morning and get as close as I want.
Also, where are people staying? I'm on a student budget so I was planning on staying in one of two Philly hostels and then driving to the rink in Reading - not sure how far they are but I think it's about an hour's drive.
Also, does anyone recommend a certain package? I won't buy the most expensive one, and I hear live figure skating is best to watch from a bit higher up in the stands anyway. So should I go for the cheapest pass (about $151) to have the best view of the whole rink? Or is the medium package the best view?
I put a lot of time into planning last year but never ended up going to Hartford. And I definitely want to take advantage this year with SA being held on the East Coast in the tri-state area, because who knows where it will be held next year!
