At COI this year we were on the end where the skaters came out. They were the best seats ever (front row too) b/c we got to see the skaters come out and skate around and when they were goofing around before they got on the ice. No goofing around at Nats probably, but I hadn't thought of that until just now.

I dunno, there were quite a few times when the skaters were more relaxed... granted I'm sure they weren't anywhere near as loose as during the show, but there are those moments when they goofed off (at least last year lol)childfreegirl said:

Thanks for the feedback from several about the benefit of end seating!! Makes a lot of sense.
This is starting to feel SO real!!! I was originally planning to drive but just checked fares from Chicago and it makes a whole lot more sense to fly. Somehow the process of booking a plane ticket makes it real!
Anyone else staying at the Hyatt?

I believe that Doug Wilson retired at the end of last season.

DG - I'll be at the Hyatt Regency at Union Station. A glass of wine back at the bar in the hotel after the evening competition is de rigeur. It is needed to argue out the results, laugh at the costumes, feel sad for the losers, etc.

which means I won't get them in time, because Alaska mail sucks
I am really upset that they are taking so long to print out and send them out... :scratch: I'm not into this idea at all...

This stinks!! Is there an option to have them sent by Express Mail, or to hold them at the Savvis Center for you?

I didn't ask them to hold them at Savvis (I'd be afraid they'd forget about it or something, is it just me or do they seem a bit disorganized??) but I did ask that mine be mailed out sooner or ASAP and she basically said that they can't treat me any different than anyone else... which I understand but Alaska has mail troubles (mostly because postal services see the "AK" and immediatly think "Arkansas" :sheesh: )

Time is of the essence now. Try e-mailing someone in charge of tickets and if they haven't been sent to save them for you at the box office. You will carry a picture id to pick them up. If they were sent, let them know if you do not receive them that you will go to the box office for duplicates.

Hi Toni. When I opened my ticket package I didn't pay much attention to the envelope. My tickets were sent UPS 2nd day air. Is UPS more reliable in Alaska? Hopefully your tickets will be sent via 2nd day air as well.
It would seem logical to me that if they sent the early tickets out 2nd day, they would send the later tickets out at least 2nd day. But of course sometimes strange decisions get made!!
Let us know as soon as you get your tickets, OK?

I am not sure how well UPS does here in AK... normally we get stuff from fed ex and they have a one to two day buffer up here...
but with the Christmas season who knows how many troubles we'll have ... I will keep you posted

The nice thing about UPS is that everything is highly automated. The address labels are computer printed (at least mine was) which means that so long as your address is correct on the order, your tickets will be directed to Alaska (rather than Arkansas LOL) via scanning devices reading the bar code - not people manually mixing up Alaska and Arkansas state codes.
When you get to a point to start following up on your tickets, request the carrier information and tracking number. That way you can follow the status of the shipment via www.ups.com (or Fed Ex, or whatever).
I'm sure this is a nail biter for you. I hope they don't do anything so stupid as to send the early tickets out UPS 2-Day, and the late tickets by snail mail!!!

This has little to do with nat'l tickets, but does show how things get delivered. An acquaintance who is a lawyer had two adult children out of the country for last year's presidential election. His daughter was in London. His son is Rwanda. Both applied for absentee ballots that weren't delivered by postal svc. He got substitutes and sent them FedEx. Even his son in the middle of a third world nation got his ballot. Even tho FedEx called him for where to deliver and sent by an unorthodox route, he still got it and got to vote so it counted.
What I don't understand is how the post office couldn't get those delivered? Personally, I think he should have blamed the Board of Elections! But ya gotta admire FedEx for how they managed to deliver through an ad hoc route.
