All-Star Worlds 2013 Spectator ?

[jcheermom]

The semi-finals won't even be done when the tickets go on sale for Monday's Finals. For example: Med co-ed has semis til 10:30 or so Sunday night but tickets go on sale for Monday Finals at 9 pm Sunday night so you may have to choose whether to stand in line for Finals tickets or watch your team at Semis. How is that going to work??

cpx4gb I faxed my order too, and then I sent an email to confirm. I haven't heard anything back either, but they sure did charge my Discover card so that's confirmation enough for me. :)

Same. I haven't received the email confirmation reply yet but just saw that they charged my cc.

Hmmm, that isn't how I read that. "Seating access" to me implies a seat during that particular session. I am guessing that they will have the "escorting" for a particular team available to those that have a hopper pass and didn't manage to get a seat.

Seems like there should be someone at this point from USASF that could explain how the logistics of this are going to work. My questions would be:

- How limited will the session tickets be? They must have a number. If the seating capacity is 5000 (some are obstructed, so maybe a little less), how many session tickets will be made available vs. seats that will be available to those with a hopper?

- Will any priority be given to session tickets over hopper passes? Or will it be on a first come basis?

(I am actually taking the year off, but I know several parents that are concerned about how this is going to work)

Well, first and foremost, I guess it is now clear that you don't have to spend the $40 to get into the WWS PLUS the $30 for the session on Monday. You can just get a $30 session ticket. However, this really doesn't make any sense... why then would anyone pay the $40, when the $30 gets you the same entrance PLUS a session. Unless of course all of the session tickets sell out, since they are limiting them, then you will have to pay the $40 to get in.

From what I can tell, the "Fan/Parent Viewing Area" is simply the same thing they did last year when they wouldn't let anyone else in the HP Field House and they marched parents into priority just for their team and then out the exit.

To answer this question...
- How limited will the session tickets be? They must have a number. If the seating capacity is 5000 (some are obstructed, so maybe a little less), how many session tickets will be made available vs. seats that will be available to those with a hopper?

I can't figure this one out either. Why even limit the tickets, when anyone with a park hopper (which is every single athlete that will be there plus parents that bought one) will be well over 5,000, which is the capacity of the Field house. Let's say they limit the session tickets to 1,000 sold. You still are going to have 20,000+ there with park hoppers, so it really doesn't do anything to limit the session tickets. And my guess is seating will be first come first serve, so park hopper or session ticket, you just have to get in their first to get a seat.

Finally, because they are not limiting the park hoppers, there will undoubtedly be overcrowding in the sessions, leading to them blocking off the HP Field house as they have done in prior years due to over crowding, so get there early folks, or don't get in at all and have to settle for the "fan/parent, march you in a line to watch only your team, viewing area".

Good luck to everyone!

The whole world is going to show up early. Thus creating the SAME problem only earlier in the day.

I have a valid Disney pass from a previous visit to the states, will I be able to use that to enter Worlds and if so, will it use up one of my park hopper days?

Has anyone made a google doc yet comparing the arenas?

I'm working on one right now that I was gonna use to keep scores since I'm gonna be stuck at home all weekend. I can post it once I'm done, but I'm sure others will post ones too.

Your hopper pass would have to say something on it about ESPN/Wide World of Sports admittance to get into Worlds. Unless you bought it through UCA or USASF it probably doesn't.

Reading this thread, I had a song run through my head.

Highway to Worlds
(apologies to AC/DC)

Nothing easy, nothing free
Session ticket is a one-time ride
Watching big screen or VIP
Taking every dollar out my hide

Don’t need reason, don’t need rhyme
Ain’t nothing I'd rather do
Who’s a paid bid this time?
Fierce friends are gonna be there too, yeah

I’m on the Highway to Worlds
On the Highway to Worlds!
Highway to Worlds
I’m on the Highway to Worlds

No stopped routines, 2:30 limit
Hope no team has a stunt go down
Like a wheel, side rolls spin it
Workin’ to get full-ups around

Hey Varsity, paid my dues
5 time Natty champion
“Hey momma, look at me”
We’re on our way to the promised land

I’m on the Highway to Worlds
Highway to Worlds
I’m on the Highway to Worlds
Highway to Worlds

Hey John,
Where is the information about us not needing to pay the $40 into WWoS on Monday for finals and just pay the $30 per session. Thanks!
