Yes, that's the cool stuff. There are many types of practice reports. People looking for detailed jump stuff can always look at Rockerskating. There is some fun stuff worth reporting as I mentioned above. Sometimes there's interesting interactions between skaters and coaches too...The flags are SO wonderful! I don't have a collection but am thinking I may bring my American flag...Will you be taking your amazing photos? I'm embarrassed to post my photos after seeing yours!

I'm thinking of bringing a Canadian and a Japanese flag too in addition to my American flag. I am revving up my lungs to cheer for my Canadian neighbors! Go Kaetlyn! Go Gabby! I do cheer for everyone though and my hands hurt last year (seriously!) from clapping so much!

Cool :thumbsup:
I love flags. I have a small collection but most of them I can't use for fs events (Costa Rica, Chile
). For Worlds I would like to bring flags of Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Korea and Canada, I still have to order a couple of these.

LOL. "Amazing photos" :-D Thanks, but you flatter me.Will you be taking your amazing photos? I'm embarrassed to post my photos after seeing yours!
I have some decent equipment, and I know some basic photography principles.
But I have no particular talent - with practice, anyone could do what I do.
It's the skaters that make great photos!
I don't even consider myself "a photographer". I primarily go to competitions to watch the skating :-D Taking photos is secondary - to make souvenirs, and to share with others who couldn't be there themselves.
Well anyway - I will be taking photos, but no idea how they'll turn out... my seat is far from the ice. (I'm hoping they won't be too strict about seat numbers during practice sessions, and let us use unoccupied seats if the owners are away... so I can get a bit nearer during practices).
And if you capture an interesting moment, don't be afraid to share! It doesn't matter if it's a bit blurry or whatever. The "image" is more important than the "image quality"...!

Just saw on the Dash Tours web site that they are selling their remaining all-event tickets for $1,000 which is in Canadian $$, so that should be about $750 in USD. I think the ticket includes all competitions, gala, and practices. http://www.dashtours.com/98.html

Their price is very reasonable for the package of all event ticket 9 competitions including practices and exhibition, in ice level I .
But I think that the sentence mentioning "the amount STARTING at 1000 $" is included in the price for the package ticket + hotel 8 nights.
You have to buy the whole package of ticket + hotel, I think.
But the price for the package is very good, considering that the hotels are becoming very expensive for the week of competitions. Many hotels are already booked and sold out.
The conversion factor is 1 dollar Canadian = 0.718 € euro, so 1000 $ cad = 718 euros.
The price for 1 all event 9 competitions ticket in Ice level I, sold at the official World web site is already 795 euros.
Good luck for skating fans who try to plan to attend World, like myself.

Not 100% certain. Their pkgs. have been up for sale since July. I interpreted this to mean they have a few all-event tickets left and just want to get rid of them, regardless of whether you want the entire pkg. (with hotel) or not. Just thought I'd post in case it would help someone. Best thing would be to call the number listed if interested.

I'm a little bitter at my 15th row tickets for the ladies free :dev2: Oh well.
You could try and e-mail them? I mean, this is ridiculous. They have really, really great seats for most events, like opposite the judges, all the way down to row 6?! I bet there are a lot of people who feel cheated now. I would be if I found entire rows had been held back even when the website still claims right now an event is sold out.
