Seeing a live competition is the only way to really appreciate the varying speeds of the different competitors, or to serendipitously "bump into" a skater/judge at the official hotel. In addition, you never know when you might witness history in the making, e.g. I was at the World's in Munich when the American women swept the medals.
Is it better to buy tickets there or go online, given that it is so late already?
after furiously refreshing the play-by-play again and again, I've finally realized that they must be refinishing the ice . . .
I'm glad I saw your comment. My feed was frozen on the distant shot of the ice and I didn't realize they were starting again.Here they come!

I've never had a problem buying tickets for Nationals same day. In fact, you might luck out and get a bargain (and good seat) outside the rink from somene looking to sell an extra ticket.
I have found that I have to back out to the main results page, do a refresh & then go back into the specific results page AFTER the competition has started. It seems like if you go to the specific results page before the actual competitions starts, it would never refresh. That's how it was for me at least with Firefox.
Jazzee4, I'm going to buy tickets there just because I refuse to pay the big, fat gouge that Ticketmaster assesses to each ticket. The only ticket that might be a little iffy is the Ladies Final, but as of right now, seats are still available. Also, it's not that hard to find people selling tickets outside. Even at the Men's Final at the Vancouver Olympics, you could have gotten a ticket.
great skate for Aaron....4 sal, 3 axel...a combo I think 3 lutz 3 toe that was iffy but finished. nice really nice footwork. spins perhaps need some work. but overall very, very well done!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, HE ROCKED THE HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!
And I love what Johnny had to say about his 3/3 combo. (ITA there! He made me LOL with the ugly comment, but well done).
GOOOOOOOOOOOO MAX, GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MAX, GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MAX.
You're just like Zhenya, same cat feet, which can bee seen on that 3/3 combo.
nice score for Max Aaron....and I love that Johnny thinks he should be in second not third! (and I love Miner, but...)
Ah, bs with the scores, it's the performance that counts, Max, and you did it, you did it!!!
Other than the fall on the 3A, Grant did a fine job, music by Debussy was sublime.
I really liked Grant. That was so peaceful and pretty. He has such graceful hands.
