+ the seats have no backs.
+ and this is a big +, the ticket prices for gold seats were WAY WAY WAY more expensive than Barcelona.
Oh, and the venue is in a crappy area when you compare it to the awesomeness of Barcelona i.e. right next door to 1. the beach 2. a gigantic shopping mall and 3. underground, bus and tram transportation.
It pains me to watch the venue with so many empty seats. :-(
Why did the ISU allow the competition to be held at this venue then? How could they not have foreseen all the shortcomings of the place?
