I agree with Mao. The current rule guidelines don't always make for pleasing-to-watch programs. I hate the combo spins - they go on forever and ever and the positions are not attractive for the most part. But I also agree with skateluvr about how figure skating has become a niche sport and how the prices of the events are really getting out of hand. I'm going to Boston in 2014 with a tour group. We got word that the original price was not correct because they're now charging TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS for the exhibitions night. I shudder to think what the Olys will cost.
Noskates, I live near Boston, but due to health and so much more, I cannot plan ahead. 200.00 just for gala? What would an all event pass go for at nationals? That is rediculous-why not just say -rich people only- so what are you paying for the tickets or are they included in the package? I am thinking if i'm still here, i want to go, but would need to stay in Boston and the hotels are very expensive. I think NYC has cheaper digs...so I could not go back and forth unless someone drove me. If I am going, and someone wants to drive, i will offer my air mattress-I have a very clean, comfy apt. But I can't make plans so far ahead. I am angry i did not go to Boston nats years ago Being disabled, everything is a big deal...awful.
Please pm me or tell me in thread how much all event tix cost-is nationals over three or 4 days or a whole week? I don't want to see novice or juniors, despite great skating, just too much sitting. What hotels and prices are they offering? I assume you are flying in, but I'd likely have to stay in Boston. Even the plainest unfanciest are rediculous. More info appreciated. TY. Must it bee so expensive? Where does all this money go-certainly not to the skaters. They are pushing people away with such greed.
