We didn't have that much time to see the city. That's why we are now arriving on Monday, to see the city on that day and Tuesday. Playing the real tourists. And by plane this time!
I'm counting the days, really!

But I am hoping Canada gets it. I love Montreal and could get there easily with two short flights. Fingers crossed.

I guess the message is for those of you purchasing tickets directly, or with a skating tour agent, be prepared for a substantial price increase.

I've attended many World Championships in Europe and North America and no two venues are the same. If you plan to attend practices, especially early morning, it is usually cold and the food court for a hot drink may not be open,so dress warmly. A scarf and gloves are your best friends. Practice rinks are usually colder. During events your excitement and a rink full of spectators tends to create warmth.
Another factor is how close you are to the ice surface. The first two or three rows can be chilly if the seating starts right at ice level.
Sorry I don't have ticket prices. We travel with a figure skating tour agent and the price we are paying includes accommodation. I'm told the first 5 rows are very expensive.
