It depends on what event you want to go to and how much money you have.Any opinions on if the hotel/event tickets packages are the best way to proceed?
I see a couple of issues/questions about the packages:Lynn226 said:I was referring to the packages being offered for Europeans. For Skate Canada, I buy the ticket through whomever is selling them and then book the hotel and airfare myself.
Thanks!
Dear Madame,
The package includes tickets for morning and afternoon daily events during the period 22 - 28 Jan 2007, (Short and long programs, compulsory, original and free dances), it excludes practise on 20 and 21 of January)

hockeyfan228 said:2. The tickets included in the package, according to the site, include morning and afternoon events and the victory ceremonies (includes the four final events). What this may or may not include is the Monday evening short program, which starts at 7:15 pm. This may have been an oversight.
I hope the SPs and the ODs are skated early in the day if the competitors have to skate their LP and FD the next night.EOIskating said:Since last year and the abolition of Qualifying Rounds at Euros, all events now start from Tuesday. All the SP/OD now takes place the day before for all of the 4 disciplines.

Problem with Euros from America is that it comes on the heels of the US Nats.

I went to Skate Canada in St. John on my own and it was a hastle but I enjoyed it. The weather was fine in late October, the town is pretty and the hotel was on the harbour and the arena was 3 short blocks walking distance.And Canadians too! But this year I'm making a choice and going to Euros for the first time. While I hate to miss Nationals (especially since I love Halifax!), I figured that for once I'd give them a miss and see a different comp instead. If I can squeeze in 4ccs a couple of weeks later as well, then it makes up for missing worlds in Japan this year and I still get to see skaters from all over the world.
The Colonial Travel price is pretty reasonable, considering it includes airfare, and the Mariott, which isn't cheap. While it's still cheaper to go on one's own, the lack of "hassle factor" is worth a lot for me.
