It's a pity there will be no competition in Warsaw this year.

Hi, am not sure if this is the correct forum thread to ask this, but would you know any information on how to get tickets for Asian Open? I am based in Bangkok and would really like to attend. There isn't much news online at the moment though, most of it still seems to be about the 2017 one. Appreciate any help on where to look. thank you.

Info will eventually show up on the ISU event page here:

There are four rinks in Bangkok.

You might try calling them for more info.

If you find anything out, please tell us!

Hi, Dorispulaski!

Yeah, I've tried to call but no answer. I've also messaged on all their social accounts haha. I plan to go to the Olympic size rink today because it's where they do international level events here (Imperial World Ice Skating) and I will post here if I find out anything. Last year, this comp was free but I think it could change now because it has become part of the Challenger series.

Will keep you posted!

Hello, I went to the venue yesterday (Imperial World Ice Skating) and they confirmed that it was going to be held there, and they said that per their information, the event was free. I know it was also free last year, but I was thinking it might change because it's now a Challenger event. I will still keep on checking with them, but I hope this is helpful to you all. Thank you!

I'm considering going to the event. Trying to find the venue on Google Maps but not successfully. Am using the website address but I'm seeing an Imperial World that looks like a shopping mall--is this where the rink is located? If you could help me with the address and location amonemae, I'd be very appreciative

Hi where is the Autumn Classic being held this year?

Hi beebee51,

Here is the Google map link to the location: https://www.google.co.th/search?q=I...1;tbs:lrf:!2m1!1e2!2m1!1e3!3sIAE,lf:1,lf_ui:2

You are correct, it is a mall called Imperial World. The ice rink is located inside. If you live in Bangkok, you can take the BTS to Samrong station, get off from there and walk to the mall, about a 5-10 mins walk. I am still looking for information if it is truly free because I really want to go, if you learn anything more please share as well!

Thank you!
