People managed to do it in Boston. I met a lady who had men's fp tickets for peanuts. I would think it's almost certain except for fp men and women. If you're coming from far away, though, you might not want to take the risk.

Maybe this helps.
I just googled this, so not guarantee for accuracy and reliability, but it looks about right. (unfortunately they don't have a chart for "arena food", which will probably be on a whole other level)
Pamigena, you are impressively organized. If you have a boss, your boss is very lucky!
We have a saying in Dutch, "wat de gek ervoor over heeft". It means [It's worth] "what the fool is willing to pay for it".
That's on the judges side and bit closer to the center, so very good seats even if a bit high. I have mine in the lowest part of the same section but almost all the way to the side and I worry I won't see the other part of the rink too well.

I'm pretty sure there's a good chance that some tickets will be available. I for example have two all-event tickets for myself and a friend, but I can't be sure if that friend can make it to every event. In that case I will probably try to sell the extra ticket just before the start of the event in question.
Well, at least you don't have to tip here in Finland. It isn't expected. And the price of all products in shops is the actual price, no tax added.
good to know that! thank you!!
I wouldn't sweat this one. You got the best seats available relatively close to the event. Maybe you could have paid a little less or been a little closer if you'd been ready to commit back in April, but these are good seats to get with only a couple of months to go. Other people are pissed because they bought balcony seats when no others were on offer. I bet the whole arena will be sold out for all the fps come the event.

Usually food in during events in places where they are hold is quite expensive. I am going to go eat somewhere else than Hartwall Arena, if it is possible. We Finns think that Central Europe is cheap but for example in London the price level is about the same. It is not allowed to bring own food to stand, I think.
So I was informed that the FAQs on the official page were updated since I last went there, and noticed the following:
Am I missing something? Does this mean that it's allowed to bring food (like plain sandwiches and stuff) and carton packages with drink inside the arena? Cuz that would *really* make my life a lot better when I'm there.

Yea, that's my question as well. The events go on so long and paying the Finnish arena prices for food and drink terrifies me.

I checked the list in Finnish. There is a translation error. In Finnis on the list stays on equivalent place "laittomat esineet ja aineet", laittomat = illegal. (And sorry for my own english mistakes)
Well, last I checked, food and simple drinks weren't "illegal" anywhere on our fine globe. So... :agree:
LOL, starting in October I have put aside 40 euros every month for arena food and drink and will be enjoying myself...

Jaana - Do you know how the food is at this arena? Is it pretty decent? Most arena food prices are pretty outrageous, are these exceptionally outrageous? For example at U.S. Nats, a bratwurst w/ BarBQ was $9.50 USD. A bottle of Diet Pepsi was $4.50 or $5 USD. Thx in advance for any help you can give.

And Finland is very expensive for us Central Europeans
On the WC2017 FAQ it seems to only bottles are not allowed in the arena, but food is permitted. I think I'll give it a try on the first day, I will bring biscuits/chocolate and see if the security stuff lets them it.
