I really want to go, but I failed to buy a ticket at the first public ticketing session. At the first session, South Korea's figure skating union allocated only 900 seats for local fans, while 100,000 rushed for it and made the whole ticketing website down! The union is going to offer another ticketing session tomorrow, this time with only low-level, temporarily-installed seats. I'll go for it, but I have no idea if I will be able to get one or not. Pathetic. Whether I get a ticket or not, I am planning to go to the airport, hotel or stadium anyway, just to see Oksana and Maxim and give some gifts to them...

Hopefully there will be other Korean Domshab fans who had the luck to get one already...

I failed again. This time all available tickets were sold out in 15 minutes, with the website down again. More than 50 percent of all seats (more than 1,700 of 3,500 seats) were allegedly allocated for the competition's financial sponsors, press, and VIPs. Many ordinary fans here are furious about this. To make matters worse, the organizer offered ONLY DAILY TICKETS - enables the holder freely choose among 4 disciplines with one ticket. While Yu-Na Kim is a huge star and kinda household name here, other disciplines are still not so popular. Many people are worried that there could be a lot of empty seats except the Ladies section, while hundreds of fans were so desperate to get a chance to watch Men's, Pair Skating and especially Ice Dance

Maybe they'll have more tickets available shortly before the event when they know for sure how many VIPs are actually going to show up...
Too bad about the day tickets. Maybe someone who only wants to see ladies is willing to sell his or her ticket afterwards so someone else can go to see the other events.

wow! that is soooo cool! I am sure they will be honoured by it. So I expect to see a lot of banners for Oksana and Maxim in the arena too, I hope it will give them strength for the competition! I like the lord of the rings pictures. Oksana looks lovely as an elf Eurosport will only show the FD live, I hope I will be able to watch the rest online...

Thanks Some news about Oksana & Maxim (and my gift ;D) 1. I went to the stadium yesterday and handed my gift to a voluntary worker of my acquaintance. Because the stadium was then off-limits to visitors, it was the only safe way to give it to Oksana and Maxim before the competition starts. The voluntary worker sent a text message that the delivery was successful and Oksana really really loved it. ;D 2. The same volunteer said Oksana was incredibly beautiful and both of them did really well on ice at the official practice session in the morning. 3. Today the competition(Junior OD, SP) began. Oksana and Maxim came to linkside to watch junior ice dance, according to the fans who went to the stadium. They said they saw Maxim eating mandarin oranges ;D
