1. E-TICKETING POLICY:

Each adult skater must purchase their OWN ticket.

Only parents/guardians can purchase for their OWN youths. (under 18 y.o.) You can not purchase for another person's child.

We will cancel any single ticket transaction where an admission is being purchased for someone else, with a duplicate email, or where the adult is not clearly identified as the parent/guardian (for youth ticket) as those conditions are not valid for the waiver.

7. SKATE DATE

• Want to get serious about skating and attend all (or many) of the sessions? Be our Skate Date! Buy dinner and we'll make sure we save you a seat and make every skate after that a little sweeter.
• This is for attendees who have their own skates. This is not an option that can be done if you need to rent skates.
• We wanted to build the community and offer a bonus for folks who were coming out regularly and committed enough to have purchased their own wheels!
• For $40 you buy access to a discount code for this season (Jan.-Apr.)to be used to buy adult tickets for yourself. Each session's ticket will only cost $8 and we will reserve a spot for you so you don't have to worry about us selling out for a Friday night!
• Go the Skate Date event to purchase your code and then use THAT event (not this one) to buy your tickets for the nights you will attend during the season.
• The code is only good through the end of April 2023 for regular sessions and will then expire.
