Hi~

Thank you for the information, some of my fav skaters are going to Cup of China, I am seriously thinking about going this year.

Where could we get the ticket for Cup of China?

Thank you

 

[Clairechang]

usually from these websites
http://www.228.com.cn
https://www.damai.cn
http://www.xinwenhua.com.cn
I think it will update information for COC around August or September
Also, last time fans can join a fan club on Chinese social media called weichat and pre-order the best tickets earlier

I checked the wechat group, they sold out already :eekn:
Seems like the online ticket agents haven't start selling the ticket, any idea when will they start selling?

Hi~~ I live in Australia as well :yes2:

By the way, I was interested in going to JGP in Brisbane until I checked the flights...it's a bit expensive

Cool, I will keep eyes on the ticket seller website.

Oh, where do you live? Will jetstar or tiger have better price ticket? Originally I want to go to JGP in QLD too, but for the next few months I will be in HK, so I will miss it this time. Don't know when will be the next one in Australia... :sad4:

I live in Sydney now and due to my schedule I could only go on Saturday and I don't think it will be worth it so...
Anyway I'm putting my hope on GPFwish I can get a ticket for that

This year GPF will be at Nagoya, Japan, it's going to be hard to get the ticket, since Japanese fans are full on with figure skating. I wish you good luck in getting the GPF ticket :agree2:

sorry no idea of any website in english version...maybe you could try google translate?
the price range is 80 to 580, not very expensive:agree:
for wechat, you can still try join the we chat group (cupofchina) although the best seats are already sold out...
https://weidian.com/?userid=984851753 try this url I think it's the same thing as the we chat group. It's cheaper than other agency later anyway so worth a try!

I attended COC last season and the English website was at damai.cn. It was very easy to purchase tickets from them. Though, they had to be picked up at their office which was somewhat far from Capital Gymnasium. I stayed across the street from venue at Nikko Century and one of the employees actually accompanied us by taxi to pick up the tickets. Before this nice man insisted upon coming with us, I planned to take the metro to the ticket office--didn't seem to be very difficult going that way.

An odd note about seating at Capital Gymnasium: It's very difficult to find your seats as Sections, Rows, etc. are not well marked and seem to keep starting over. Plus, the ushers were of no help. Also, many (most?) people didn't sit in their assigned seats. The problem must be wide spread because at the beginning of every event, there was a PA announcement (in Mandarin and English) requesting that everyone sit in their assigned seats. Didn't seem to do any good! All in all it was a very fun time so I hope you get to go.

Thank you for sharing the experience! That's useful, I will need to think a step beyond, coz if I manage to get the ticket, I could only fly into BJ by Friday night, so ticket pickup could be a problem for me. I will see if I could get a friend to pick it up for me first.

Hi all,

Seems like pre-sale in https://www.damai.cn/ have started. But according to the system, the pre-sale ticket is sold out at the moment. (I have left my contact details and hope for the best ）

There are some ticket available for sale in the wechat group as well, but ticket for free program sold out at the moment.

 

[DorYiu]

In case if anyone is waiting for news for the CoC ticket, https://www.damai.cn/ has started the sales of the ticket
(I have no idea when they started the sales ... I just happen to check today and see the ticket become available.)

It started weeks ago. First the presale but you were not able to choose a seat. The seat map became active about a week or so ago. I've decided to wait cause I like to pick my seats Still haven't bought them yet, but it doesn't look like it will sale out
