They are indeed expensive - not US-like expensive, but considering some skaters may not be there I'm not sure it's worth the price.
I already counted - for me, my son and my husband (without tickets, but with fun money for other stuff he wants to do in Prague) the trip would be roughly 2000 Euros if I find conveniently priced accomodation and if I decide to buy cat. 3 or 4... Eeeeeeek, I earn about 3000 Euros a month...
The cheapest two categories would be doable for me, but I personally don't see the point
If there's a concert or a spectacular show with many participants that's actually visible from up there (like Cirque du Soleil or Shen Yun), or if it's ice hockey where two teams are constantly whizzing all over the ice - sure, the uppermost seats make sense. But for FS, where I want to see clearly what one skater/pair/couple is doing on the ice, it's either the low row seats or middle row level seats ... or the jumbotron. I can watch the TV or stream at home, and that's exactly what jumbotron equates to. And I suppose many locals will arrive at exactly the same conclusion. They'll have national TV coverage for free, permanently archived to be watched anytime at will, so why bother... which I suspect most of the senior citizens will do, and there are not just a few of those among the FS audience. They might be out of luck with Japanese fans too, due to no direct flights... the logic behind those prices is truly astounding.
After reading your post, I was very confused why you would buy 3 or 4 cats when you are planning to go to a figure skating competition
. But then I read Paulipau's post and I figured it out. 
in the middle of the night for me. I continued to get an invalid code message but kept trying and eventually came away with most of what I wanted. I saw in other places that a lot of people had issues with tickets being pulled out of their carts before purchase, but I didn't have that problem.
I got 106 as well, I cannot help you but if the seats are shit we are in it together xDAs someone who's gonna have this as their first BIG skating event, is section 106 okay? i got the 2nd row at the absolute end of the right side for the Women's FS and im absolutely terrified if the 'side' view is gonna take anything from my experience/if the lowest rows at the sides will have some sort of obstructed view... is there anyone experienced in going to these type of events here to help a girl out?
I still don't have the tickets and don't know what events I will buy apart from men because my boy wants to see Adam, Ilia and Yuma - so they'd better be there, but I already booked hotel for whole event. Not that there are many decent hotels for reasonable price and not very from arena left...As someone who's gonna have this as their first BIG skating event, is section 106 okay? i got the 2nd row at the absolute end of the right side for the Women's FS and im absolutely terrified if the 'side' view is gonna take anything from my experience/if the lowest rows at the sides will have some sort of obstructed view... is there anyone experienced in going to these type of events here to help a girl out?
I don't have the tickets yet either but as far as hotels go, I'm surprised to hear that. Any hotel that's close to the B subway line, except for the farthest stations, should be a good choice as you'd be at the venue in less than 30 minutes (unless it's weekend or night, when wait times are long).
Those cats would be for throwing amongst the pigeons, lol!After reading your post, I was very confused why you would buy 3 or 4 cats when you are planning to go to a figure skating competition
That would add some excitement to any competition. I would love to see it.Those cats would be for throwing amongst the pigeons, lol!
