Will I see anyone from here in Oberstdorf?
A bit sad right now as apparently Japan won't be sending anyone this year...they don't have it in their competition calendar at this point.

 

[viennaskater]

I plan to go, but I am surprised they have scheduled it at the same time as Nepela - usually I go to both.

 

[PaulE]

I plan to go and will have 3 nieces and a daughter-in-law of one of the nieces with me. I want to introduce them to one of my favorite places in the world—I love Oberstdorf.

 

[Ruthypegs]

I'm booked to go - I loved the event last year, and Oberstdorf village is wonderful - (hoping to bring my folding bike on the train to see some more of the local scenery outside of event times).

 

[Kiki5375]

I will be there

If anyone needs sightseeing tips let me know. I spend all my summerholidays there when I was a kid and I still go there for hiking once a year.

Not yet. I've been following the official site, but still don't see anything.

When I click on the link I essentially just get white space where ticket information should be. Has anyone actually been able to buy tickets from that site?

 

[Kiki5375]

Yep i bought tickets 2 days ago. 85 Euro for all days

Yes, all-event bundle. That link is still working for me.

 

[Kiki5375]

Maybe this will work better?

[DemTuppesSeine]

A friend told me yesterday that apparently Adam Siao Him Fa said he'd do either Lombardia or Nebelhorn, and since he isn't on the Lombardia entry list, we might get to see him here!

 

[Kiki5375]

I asked Andrew Torgashev in Prague if he would come back to Oberstdorf and he said "I sure hope so"

 

[PaulE]

Maybe this will work better?

That link does work for me but only shows individual tickets (Do €21, Fr €25, Sa €25, Gala €28) which would total €99 for all events. Is the All-event ticket cheaper? I need to buy tickets for 5 people.
