Am I blind or is there no info on the ticket pricing despite them going on sale in 5 days?

I gambled and got plane tickets and accommodation already so fingers crossed the entry won’t end up on the extreme side of the price range.

In my opinion, it's safer to have accommodation already, because (I wrote it on Deniss Vasiljev's Fan Fest I think) the public part of the Prix de Lausanne (Ballet) starts on January 31st and there's the non-public part (with judged lessons) during the previous week, that is, during the ISU European Championships. Of course Lausanne is a large city with many hotels but given its geography between lake and mountain, "a bit farther away" becomes soon "much farther away" with risks of slow traffic, and hotels are always expensive there anyway.
I do hope that tickets won't be terribly expensive!

Thank you! This seems on the reasonable side of pricing, only the Gala when purchased alone, and the reduced price Pass, seem a little bit more expensive. Those who hesitated between World and European championship may stop hesitating!

Thank you! Now I just need luck with sniping decent seats.

It’s almost double the prices in Tallin two years ago, but really not bad for Switzerland!

Anyone have some good hotel tips?

Update: Strike that - hotel prices are off the scale. Gonna look for an apartment or b&b.
