OK, to regurgitate what you said, you knew what the ticket price was going in...for anything in the arena or ?. But it didnt show up on the ticket till later?

OK, I am still a bit confused. Is there a chance that a replay on Peacock is an option? I dont think the Warner Music Group can take down ISU youtubes if you use a VPN, but I could be wrong.....When WMG took off the you tube vids for jr. Worlds ladies free, I could still watch them using my VPN.
BTW, I replace the batteries in my Roku remote and fired up Peacock. Like you said, I went to sports>live and up coming> and then through all the sports to "all" and finally to the 4 or so comps they have up. So I went to the pairs short and put it in "My Stuff" and SHOULD have right arrowed over to "More like this" to reach the other comps. Instead, I made the mistake of using the back arrow and boom, I was back to the start of Sports. Back arrow doesnt mean back one step, evidently. Not sure yet if there will be commenting on Peacock or ISU or ?
Have you ever noted on Instagram if you watch a vid of a buddy doing a figure skating routine or skipping rope in practice, there is a music credit?

Ref: I am not so much a ladies fan...Well, we all have our preferences for skaters....I am reminded of the old joke, "Mom said 50 years ago, we put a man on the moon....Why did we stop?"

Without announcing anything to anyone I know, Peacock offered some replays during U. S. Nationals. I think most of the replays were only up for 2 days. I'm not sure if all the comps were offered for replay...getting older has made my memory less dependable. I am hoping that because so many in the U. S. are going to stay up from late night to overnight to see all of the WC comps that MAYBE Peacock will offer replays for a couple of days and actually tell us in advance so we can plan accordingly.
I think they offered a few replays of 4CC and those were only available for a couple of days. Again, there was no info before hand so after staying up until 1 a.m. and getting back up early for the next day I didn't much care about finding that the comp was available for replay.
No idea about commentary. I'm guessing the ISU will have commentary, but who knows.
All of the Men's FS from 4CC disappeared from the ISU the next day and I tried multiple VPN countries but they were all gone because of some type of violation.

Well, my journey to Japan begins now! Thankfully made it on my bus to Los Angeles just in time.
Incidentally, my Uber driver was playing this song on the way to the bus station. Now I'm hoping one of the ice dance teams uses it next season!

Wow...the mens must have gone down after the ladies free....and even that was available with VPN. The legal arm of the big 3 music companies is long...this is just a WAG but I suspect the three music companies contact youtube depending on if the national/international music rights have been "violated" and there would be no monitary justification for youtube to fight or even question their complaints. This all makes me think that while I cant watch all of worlds live due to medical issues, I had better watch replays ASAP. Just as the USFS told us they are trying to work with Peacock on the replay issue (no questions, please) the ISU is searching for a broadcast/recast partner and revenue stream to take the flak. This will all play out next season.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.

Have a good time in Japan . Consider yourself lucky to go since not everyone can afford it. Nice to see competition in person. Enjoy.

For the people that are surprised that the men's free skate is sold out. I am not. Shoma Uno is popular in his own right. The Japanese men are solid contenders for medals . U add in Ilia Malinin and France and others the men's free skate will be exciting . The other disciplines are good However the pairs is between ASK/BF and RM/RK with the edge going to RM/RK. DSD could pull off the upset. The dance more about PG/PP with Italy and C/B close behind no one would be surprised if they won. The women more likely Kaori , yes Loena but outside of that who. Yes Isabeau/Isabella or Anastasia could but Mai could pull it off . Japan singles is so strong they could sweep both men's and women's podium in Japan the men might be more expected to do it. As I stated Shoma Uno is popular in Japan in his own right.

I hate to be cynical, I really do—but does anyone know who the tech panel will be for dance? I like to look at that before I make my predictions

If I may ask, which terminal did you arrive in? And how was the immigration process, did they ask you to show your covid vaccination certificate? Did they ask you about QR code from the Visit Japan Web?
I'm arriving in Terminal 3 on Saturday evening, trying to calculate how much time I need to clear the airport
So excited to finally arrive in Japan! Hope we can meet up in Saitama

Feel free to ask! I arrived at Terminal 1. I think the actual disembarkation process took about an hour, though I didn't actually leave the airport for at least another hour and a half due to being incredibly frustrated with being unable to activate the Japanese SIM card I bought from a vending machine at the airport. I have still not been able to activate that card and am currently depending on WiFi to access the internet.If I may ask, which terminal did you arrive in?

Yes, they asked to me show my vaccination card. Yes, they asked me to show my QR codes (immigration and customs-- the yellow and red pages) from Visit Japan Web. They have free WiFi for displaying the codes, but it is more efficient to already have the codes screenshotted for easy access. But before you display those QR codes, you have to display the blue page (former quarantine/vaccination page) from Visit Japan Web. I made the mistake of only screenshotting the top of the blue page, confidently thinking that it would be enough to enter Japan. Imagine my dismay when I was asked to show the rest of the page too!
Thankfully they directed me to the aforementioned WiFi and helped me log into it.Hopefully we can meet up in Saitama, as long as there's enough places for free WiFi.

IIRC Japan is a civilized country with more WIFI than the US.Feel free to ask! I arrived at Terminal 1.
