Every train stops at Pasila.
I bow to your infinite non-typo wisdom.I'm pretty sure that was a typo and she meant to say blocks 108, 109 and 110
They still have close to six hours to make good on their promise. :confused2:
I got an email saying that instructions on getting the premium tickets would be sent on Monday, April 25.
Still nothing here. Oh well. I guess they are too busy now, and Monday, new chances!

Guys, I have a question. Never been to such big events and need help
What are usually the prices per event/per day? Especially interested in Free Skates... I know they go on sale only in autumn, but want to plan my budget in advance.
Looks like All-event ticket is way out of my budget (( At least Helsinki is right across the Gulf of Finland from me
Thanks in advance!

You could have a look at the individual ticket prices they had for Boston this year. Hard to tell how much exactly individual sessions will be. In Boston, a premium ticket for the gala alone was $85 (so something like €75). But I remember that the premium tickets for the gala at the GPF last year were around €100 :roll9: So, who knows. But maybe this will give you a general idea of what you'll have to expect.

On my tickets (ICE 2, opposite judges) it has the value printed for each event, I guess it's not the final price. But they are all just under 35 Eur. And they are decent seats
I was thinking that, too, but that probably doesn't reflect the price of single tickets. I think (?) the prices on our individual "all event" tickets are simply the price of the whole batch divided by the number of events (was it 18 or so, inc all the practices?). I would assume single individual tickets are more expensive. Well, that would seem fair to me, anyway.On my tickets (ICE 2, opposite judges) it has the value printed for each event, I guess it's not the final price. But they are all just under 35 Eur.

edit, okay, 17 tickets at Ice Level 1 is 46,50 per ticket x 17 = 790,50 euros (ex reservation costs etc). So guessing those tickets, separately, will be at least in the 50s euros, maybe more.

I think I would rather prefer more expensive seats
I was thinking whether to take all-event&balcony or some events&better seats

I must confess that I haven't looked at tickets this closely so far
Each of our tickets says €46,50, including the practice tickets. If they were to sell tickets for practices, I wouldn't assume that they'd charge 46,50 for each session
And prices between disciplines and SP/FS usually vary.
See Boston:
Short Dance:
premium/club $125, end lodge $50
Ladies FS:
premium/club $175, end lodge $100
so :confused2:
I just (finally?) got an e-mail, too, but now that I read it more carefully, it doesn't actually say Monday anywhere, at least my e-mail doesn't. Just "In the next week" and again "next week" as time indicator. How's that for vague?
You're right, of course that makes a lot more sense.
Although... does it? I mean, I know there are plenty of people out there who think the practice sessions are more interesting than the competition events, and would probably be happy to pay quite a bit more than the, what was it, couple of euros we paid for them at the GPF.
I haven't posted here in ages (actually, maybe never?:think, but after attending Worlds in Boston I am now planning a trip to Helsinki - yay! I just wanted to note that I ended up with too many tickets for Boston, and ended up selling some of them (and giving some away) - and most events (other than ladies free) were going for way under face value in the couple of weeks leading up to the event. I know that waiting to buy tickets on the secondary market is too risky for some people planning a big trip around the event - but it's something I'm considering - it would have saved me a boatload in Boston!
