Instructions

1. Search the internet for the type of competition you would like to see.

2. Visit your local ice rink and ask for their schedule of events. Many rinks work together with other rinks in the area to put on competitive figure skating shows. Talking with an ice rink representative could save some time.

3. Purchase tickets for the event early. The best seats tend to go quickly in the larger events.
