If you want to go watch, but can't go to the Showcase (too late in the evening), when is the best time?  Can you just wander in and take a free seat?

Exhibition is on Saturday, April 9, 2011 at 7:30pm on the West Rink.

Looks like the entire competition ends on Sunday 4/10 by 2pm or so.

These are the latest schedules that I could find:

The answer is yes, you can just wander in and sit down, and it's lots of fun.  I only had time for about two hours though.

(Chiming in totally totally late) Yep,  the whole comp was free. You had to buy tickets for the exhibition, though. Worth it. Mary Beth Marley performed (she's great, lots of energy) and there were some seriously KICKASS synchro teams. One team did a Riverdance program and I thought initially "oh bother, this has been done to death" but WOW did they do some amazing stuff. Not sure how to describe it--two pivoting lines that intersected repeatedly (backward), and three circles of back XOs that would be DEATHLY difficult and dangerous. They were FAST, FAST, FAST!
