2026 Canadian Nationals: Ticket Info

Does anyone know where the Kiss and Cry and the Judges will be? That information doesn't seem to be on the ticketing site.
Yes, I found it in the material linked in my pre-sale email notification. Judges in section 114-115, Kiss and Cry in section 107 (so at one end, but in the corner instead of centered on the end).

General info:
Online, digital ticket delivery is only option, though I think I read somewhere that they sell physical tickets at the box office. I need physical tickets (no smartphone and will be attending the last day without my daughter, who usually puts the tickets on her phone). I had my son, who is visiting and speaks French, call for me. There were some bits of good news:
  • if you press 9, they will speak to you in English
  • they were very helpful
  • you can order by phone and pick up the tickets at the box office (but maybe not for the pre-sale)
  • you can also order online, then go to the box office when you arrive to get physical tickets. You need your order receipt (and possibly the card you paid with). This was my choice.
 
I was planning to go... but now I am conflicted, mostly because of the hotel situation. So now, I am considering doing it as a day trip for the Saturday but for that, I need to look wait for the individual day ticket sales... which sucks...
and well I will need to figure out if the schedule works with the bus schedule...

Does anyone know about Gatineau enough and the busses from Montreal etc to enlighten me ?
 
So I looked... the last bus leaves Gatineau way too early to make this work in a day trip.

Will have to think REALLY hard about this.
 
Still thinking.. Hotel 600 dollars. Bus 100. Tickets 300

1000. That's a nice Xmas present from myself to myself if I do it. I found options that are manageable... and now all I have to do is ponder if I do it or not. I feel like I need to fly away somewhere far instead of bussing to Gatineau for 1000 :) seriously :) It's like crazy when I think of it.
 
Guess who bought ticket, probably against her better judgement..?:slink:
I blame my family acting up the way I want to stick it to them in the way of going as much as I could.
Now I guess time to figure out the rest and hope January weather won't cancel flights.

Take the Montreal-Ottawa bus or train. Then Ottawa-Gatineau buses can be used to get to the venue. They accept transfers from one another.

You can also Uber from Ottawa to Gatineau just not the reverse

Thanks. I am still thinking about this.

i feel awful for not having done so.. You are coming from far away.. i am 2 hours away... i feel like a spoiled brat... at the same time, i know you are probably the biggest (after me, of course LOL) Piper and Paul fan and that will be perhaps the last time they compete... i mean other than the non-accessible Milano, so I applaud you.

May your crowns be extra special and may I suggest a crown for Carol too ? :)

You know, I've had this idea of going to 2026 Nationals since beginning of the year (????) as the Olympics tickets talk was high...I simply want to say goodbye and thank you on my own terms, in my own style plus - I'm generally a fan of Canadian skating, having weakness towards a lot of juniors, so why not to make it there to show some appreciation?
Oh, you can bet I will make sure whole colorful enchilada will be prepared :laugh:, including stuff for coaches (if Scott is there, he also gets one 100%).
Plus...I need that kind of "challenge" to keep me occupied. Having something to look forward to in positive, a little scary, byt overall exciting sense, instead of just staring bleakly at the wall, with fear and my family eating up my will to go somewhere.
And I promised while leaving Montreal that I will be back :)

May you have a wonderful time.
Most likely not going this year. I am just constantly exhausted right now and I need to focus on resting ;) The timing of Nationals, so early in the year is not helping as it's very tricky for me work wise. Rest is also the reason I didn't go to CQÉ, and of course, because many people w/d. So I think I am not going to any live event this year. After two very busy years, it's okay :) I feel I need a real vacation where I am not busy... and visit things without a purpose ;)

I keep my options open : if a friend is interested to go on the Saturday, we will drive and that would be a fun day... but I don't feel like staying there many days and eating bad food and freezing for hours. I know... Sometimes, we do it... Sometimes, we just cannot do it ;)
 
If anyone has an all event ticket for sale please let me know. I hesitated to buy but would prefer all event to single sessoons
