Wow, that sounds like a lot of fun. I probably wouldn't go by myself but can imagine some friends who would get a kick out of this. Any idea of how much it costs to go?

Wow - if the 2010 event info I saw is correct, tickets started at $300 @ apiece for the gala dinner and the skating!  It is for a good cause.

Yikes, that's a sizable fraction of the cost of a pair of custom skates. I guess they're going for a few high-end patrons versus a crowd of ordinary folks.
