Practice Schedule
You MUST have an official Practice Pass in order to attend any Practice Session. The Practice Pass is the first ticket in all package holders' Commemorative Ticket Books. Click here for a list of all Practice Sessions followed by a list of the Competitors in each Practice Group. Practice Schedule
Plastic Ticket Pouches
The first 3,000 All Event or Weekend Package ticket holders to request them will receive a complimentary plastic ticket pouch when they visit one of our Souvenir Program kiosks at either the Arena or FanFest and show their commemorative ticket booklet. This pouch is a convenient way to store all of your event tickets in 1 place, and can be attached to a lanyard and hung around your neck to keep you hands-free. Stop by any one of our Souvenir Program kiosks to pick one up.
Admission/Re-Entry Policy
Based on suggestions that came out of the 2007 Championships held here in Spokane, we have enhanced our admission policy to allow for re-entry throughout the day if you choose to exit the Arena AND you possess all that day's tickets. When you arrive for the first session, all that day's tickets will be scanned. If you choose to leave the Arena during the day, you will exit through one of the clearly marked "Re-entry doors". You will be given a day-specific colored wristband which will allow you re-entry through one of the special Wristband Entry doors when you return. You WILL still need to present your ticket for that day's event as well as your colored wristband, however no more standing in long "General Ticketholder" lines to get back in!
