Even if you're not a fan of certain disciplines, if you're buying the All-Event ticket, you should go to all of the events. Getting to see skating live in ANY discipline, especially at certain big events, is an incredible privilege and it frustrates me when I think about people who buy All-Event tickets and just let their seats stay empty for some events. Someone could have been lucky enough to have that seat - you (not YOU-you, but general you) are the lucky one ,and you're wasting it.
Then again, I'll admit I am saying this as someone in the Midwest with pretty limited means for most of my life - can't afford to travel, can't afford tickets to events (let alone all event tickets). I'm somewhat more fortunate than I used to be so I am budgeting so hard for Montreal 2020 and I'm going to be livid if I am unable to get tickets for whatever reason and there are people just letting their tickets go to waste.
Agreed. And yes, it is a considerable effort to see every skater in every event, but with an all-event pass, you should make the effort to see every discipline - or at least see every skater in the segment you're watching. Sure, at Worlds with like 36 skaters that's harder to do, but at events with like 12-20 skaters, it's sad to see the first flight have a smaller audience than the flights with the popular skaters. It's a matter of coming to the arena like an hour earlier. But hey, everyone's got their own prerogative to watch or not. But I don't put people who only come to watch one or two skaters on par, in terms of being true skating fans, compared to people who give the rest of the field the respect of watching them.
