2023 Grand Prix de France is the third event of the 2023-24 Grand Prix series and is scheduled to take place Nov. 3-5, 2023, in Angers, France. The ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Series consists of six international senior invitational events and culminates with the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final in December.

Competitors collect points in their individual Grand Prix events towards the qualification for the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final. Only the top six skaters/teams in each discipline can qualify for the Final.

Skaters are seeded and invited to the six Grand Prix of Figure Skating events based on the results obtained at the ISU World Figure Skating Championships 2023. Skaters/teams who have placed first through sixth in each of the four categories are seeded and assigned to two events. Skaters/teams who have placed seventh through 12th at the ISU World Figure Skating Championships are selected for two ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating events. Skaters with a top 24 Season Best Scores (from the 2022/23 season), as well as those placed in the top 24 of the ISU World Standings, can also be invited.

In order for a skater/team to be eligible to compete at an ISU Grand Prix event, a minimum total score must have been achieved in the 2022/23 or current 2023/24 season in an ISU event (Grand Prix, Junior Grand Prix, Championships) or a Challenger Series event. Exceptions apply to host country skaters, previously ranked skaters or split ranked couples who return with new partners.

AAAAAAAH nom de Zeus !!!!!
I bought tickets for me and my husband, I can't believe I'm finally going to a live competition !!!!!!
I'm so happy I'll get to see Adam, Yuma, Wakaba, Isabeau and Ilia live !!! Please skating gods and goddesses no withdrawals :pray::pray::pray:
May I ask how do picking seats work? Is it automatic within the section you buy? I'm guessing the VIP section is the judges side? I am looking at buying the €50 tickets but it's bringing me straight to the checkout without picking seats...
I'm sorry I don't understand French :(

You can't pick seats, maybe it's different in the VIP section but for the plebeians it's first arrived first served apparently !
Don't hesitate if you have other questions, for once I can be one who helps someone on this forum x')

Thank you! Ended up splashing out on the VIP tickets after all. They are also first come first served it seems, so I'll try to be there in good time.

Not that I can see - there's some sort of "VIP" deal, but I can't find what it includes. It's a real pity that Kevin won't be there, but I've booked for Europeans, hoping that I'll catch him there instead....:pray:
VIP for the Friday/Saturday is just the seats on the judges side as far as I can see, but on Sunday includes food or a buffet
