Four Continents Cup (Are you going?)

[TRAxel]

We got our tickets in the mail yesterday, did anyone else? Please answer the following if you feel like it :lol:

Where are you sitting? Section 108, Row 14, Seats 14 & 15
Who are you sitting with? My friend Susan
Where are you staying? Howard Johnson's

[summertime]

Sorry, posted in wrong place :oops:

[professordeb]

Traxel,
sure wish I could but looks like my timetable for work has me in class until noon on the Friday and it's about 2.5 hours to there from here. Hubby doesn't seem to mind and I was thinking about the Howard Johnson's cause they have room and the price is right. Get back to you later with a definite answer.

til later,
Deb

Well they are selling a "Triple Axel" package for Fri, Sat and Sunday, costing only $75 for the weekend, and Friday events start at 4 o'clock- so that would work for you, if you can come. If I were you, I would book soon for the Hotel if you decide on it- HoJos will probably fill up quickly (the Ramada and the Sheraton, the other hotels in the vicinity are already sold out).

I have my ticket, sitting section 108, row 13 seat 11. I haven't received the tickets in the mail yet, though. I'm staying at the Sheraton.

[VGL]

Where are you sitting? Section 122, Row 5, Seats 11&12 (centre ice across from judges)

Who are you sitting with? Blade1

Where are you staying? At the Hotel VGL :lol:

[dr.frog]

There is no "Cup" in the name of this competition. It is the Four Continents *Championships*.

Who will be skating?:D

I assume that it will be decided at each county's nationals- so we will know in January for the US and Canada, and a bit earlier (?) for China and Japan. For the other countries, where there are fewer top level skaters, I assume it will be their usual entries, if they are still skating this season (S Human from SA, Cantu from Mexico, etc.)

[gandalf]

Where are you sitting? not entirely certain, but centre ice opposite the judges

Who are you sitting with? Mom and HER friends (none of mine are skating fans)

Where are you staying? Home - Hamilton is a reasonably short drive for me (maybe 40 mins?)

[Magz]

Where are you sitting: Not completely sure yet...haven't exactly BOUGHT the tickets yet...lol probably won't be too close
Who are you sitting with : mom
Where are you staying: Home, I live in Dundas which is oh 5 or 10 minutes from Hamilton

[pinkjellybean]

All five of us are sitting 3rd row, right beside the kiss and cry (as it is planned for right now)... and we're all crashing at my house in the Hammer which is about five minutes from the rink :) My mom's gonna love having us all there!

[Justine_R]

Oh i feel so left out i cant go!

pinkjellybean, can you tell me where the kiss and cry area is planned? Thank you.

[pinkjellybean]

As of right now the kiss and cry is supposed to be in section 126 (therefore inbetween 124 and 127 - where we are)... Plans could change but as of right now 126 is the kiss and cry.

Haha, or be very sick of us by the time the week is done! Wheeee!!! :D

[professordeb]

Yahooooooo, I'm going and taking daughter (all of 11, she's skipping school that day, hmmmmm what can we call such an excuse ... maybe history in the making?? any suggestions as to what I can tell the school as the reason for her absence? guess I'll just tell them the truth, she's spending some qualtity time with mom in Hamilton). We're in section 123, row 18 in seats 12 and 13. Please look us up. She's a natural auburn and I'm just wishful I was so I cover the grey to try and fit in :D .
Staying at the Howard Johnson from which I can apparently just walk over to the arena. WooHoo! Yep, watch out, I'm going to be happy again.
Cygnus:
thanks for the heads up, that worked out really well.

til later,
Deb

[toto123]

Do you have the practive and competition schedule?

[VGL]

toto, practice schedules will be released closer to the event.

Competition schedule should be on the skate Canada site in the events section.

[Blade1]

I'm very excited about this event, and as VGL already posted, I'm going with her. Will be a great event !! Can't Wait!

[toto123]

I cannot find the schedule on Skate Canada. Those who received their tickets... do you have a schedule

[KatieC]

Where are you sitting: Section 109, Row 16, Seat 1

Who are you sitting with: My friend from work and possibly her friend.

Where are you staying: At home, about 1/2 hour away.

I split the tickets with another friend, but my tickets read:

Jan. 22 1:00 p.m. Dance Orig/Pairs Short/Mens Short

Jan. 24 4:00 p.m. Pairs Free/Mens Free

Jan. 25 3:00 p.m. Gala Exhibition

(Actually, instead of Pairs, the tickets read "Paris", which is a bit scary!)

The link above is currently what is posted over at the Skate Canada website. I am sure that as the competition gets closer, they will add more.

[calypso56]

My cousin and I are going with the Dash Tours group. We wanted to stay at the Sheraton, and that seemed the only way. So far we don't know where this group will be sitting, but we really don't mind where we sit. In fact, we prefer the ends.

Is anyone else travelling with Dash Tours?

[Tigger]

Where are you sitting Section 124, Row 1, Seat 12

Come around and say Hi!! :)

So very sorry dr.frog :roll: picky, picky. I do believe it USED to have CUP at the end... anyone is free to correct me if I am wrong. And if I am wrong... who really cares? :lol:

[TRAxel]

cygnus...Looks like you are right in front of me & Susan! Cool!

VGL...Blades1 already informed me that you & her are going, I am so happy about that, I can't wait to meet the 2 of you!!

professordeb...WOO HOOOOO! Awesome Deb!! :D we WILL meet this time FOR SURE!

KatieC...Good stuff :)

Tigger...Hey you! Awesome... it's been a long time since we hung out in Vancouver at Worlds, I look forward to seeing you. Where are you staying? Aren't you coming the B+K show in London on Dec. 5th too?

gandalf, Magz, pinkjellybean, erin_m and calypso56...Do make sure you let us know what seats you will be in before the event so we can all say hello :)

toto123...In regards to the practice schedule... my friend has the tickets, I will email her right now and ask her about that. I will get back to you.

[Blade1]

Erin_M, myself and our "gang" are sitting in 127, row 3, seats 1-5 :)

I don't beleive there's a practice schedule out yet though, it will probably come out closer to the event.

Cheers, can't wait!!

[TRAxel]

I asked my friend about getting a practice schedule in the mail with the tickets, nope there wasn't.

Should be out soon though, I am sure :)

[pinkjellybean]

They're not sending practice schedules in the mail. We're just lucky enough to have to find out when it is released ourselves.

It has been far too long a time since Vancouver Worlds TRAxel. Really looking forward to seeing you too. I won't be coming down for B&K's show in London sad to say. I'm going to be attending a huge Lord of the Rings convention in Toronto December 15th to 17th. I can't afford to do both and....Oh well...:(

This one of those times I wish Transporters were a real thing and not just in the Star Trek universe. ;)

I'm proud to be a part of the gaggle that includes pinkjellybean and erin_m. We'll be easy to spot - we'll have enormous banners for Wakamatsu & Fecteau, as we represent the official fan club. ;)

Wow, you guys are really tempting the skategods, by saying that. ;) I would never, ever tempt them. W&F have an extreme battle on their hands to even make the team at nationals.

Is there a website for Wakamatsu & Fecteau ? A link would be greatly apprecaited :)

No website yet, although there are quite a few people either working on websites or wanting to start one... I'm not sure how many we'll see but none are up yet.

I have a yahoo group... but it's just getting started... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/canadianpairsfans/

...we're not tempting the skate gods... we would just really really really like them to be at 4CC's... No matter who's there we will still have an awesome time, it's all about the skating in the end.

[Blade1]

Thanks for the link to your yahoogroups.
