Most spectators have sat in the stands before, so here are the things that are specific to this venue: the indoor-shoe rule, parking, the ticket prices for each day and how to book a table seat.
Veikkolan koulu is a no-outdoor-shoes school. Everyone — spectators included — must take off their outdoor shoes at the door, and you may only move around the building in indoor shoes or socks. So bring indoor shoes with you.
Four things worth checking before you set off.
No outdoor shoes are allowed in the school. Bring indoor shoes or thick socks — otherwise you will spend the day in your socks.
Allow time for parking. Arrive in good time and be prepared for the car to end up some distance from the venue.
Tickets are bought for one day at a time. Prices and advance sales are further down this page.
Regulars know all of this, but it is worth telling a grandparent or a friend what actually happens in the hall.
Both days include events in Standard as well as in Latin, danced as separate competitions.
Standard (ST)
Latin (LA)
The two days are separate competitions, so tickets are bought for each day separately. Prices come straight from the organiser's competition invitation and are written in Finnish.
