My rink:

$14 + $3 skate hire for a two hour public session

$12 for a 1.5 hr freestyle session

$110 for a 10-session card

$170 for a monthly pass that means you can go to as many freestyles as you want.

At my rink patch ice is cheaper than public (patch is £4.50 a session if you buy a book of tickets, or £5 if you buy one at a time). Public is £6-£8 a session i think.

Sooo jealous down here...our publics are $20 for 2 hours incl $3 skate hire.  Privates (what you call freestyles) are $16 (?) for 90 min.

$5 for a 90min public?  $2 for an adult session?  Less than $5 a session for drop-in freestyle?  Man you guys have it good!!
I pay $21 for 90 minutes freestyle

My ice time costs went up by 40% moving up here.

Before I moved up I was paying $10/hr Free Skate and $6 publics but the Publics were 1hr 50 min to 2hr 50 min long and during the day (during the school year) hardly anyone went :P

Are dance ice prices generally more expensive than freestyle? What about moves and figures?

There's different ice sessions for moves and dance? We all just muck in together.

I did not know the specifics until I looked at practice ice registration forms at my rink.

Sunday 10:45am to 1:45pm, or Saturday 1pm to 4:15pm dance ice for 19.50 preregistered, 22.50 walk on. Wow what a deal, club dance ice at nearby rink costs 20 for less than half the time on Monday nights.

There are also high moves, low moves, and open moves. Mind you, we are a mostly recreational ISI rink, but locating in the rink saturated Chicago suburbs helps.

We don't have separate ice for separate uses. There is public and freestyle.

I would expect that figures ice cost more than other uses because there can't be as many skaters on the ice for a figures session.
However, I don't know what a maximum for dance or moves ice would be.  How do those sessions usually work?

Moves max 26 skaters for high and low, no limit for open. $4.5 for half hour.

Dance max 20 skaters. About $6.5 per hour.

Patch $6 per hour, 6 skaters max on studio rink., I don't know if they sell out.

We had moves sessions for a while, but they stopped them. It was just like a regular session except everyone just did moves. They tended to be pretty empty, unless a test was coming up and then you were better off at  a regular session. It was 1/2 long and cost the same as a regular 1/2 punch.

I wish rinks here would do that...  I'd be able to put in some SERIOUS Ice Time if they did that...

Well there are three freestyle sessions a day and technically you're only allowed 2 per day, but no-one really checks, and you can go every day if you want.
