Not cheap to love dogs, nor should it be.

Reserved Seating-in sections 40-299. Good for both day and night events. They can be purchased through the WKC office, as well as, Ticketmaster and MSG. Ticketmaster and MSG offer single day purchases. The price for these tickets through the WKC office is $130. Ticketmaster and MSG price is $120 plus applicable fees.

General Admission tickets are also good for both day and night events but DO NOT HAVE AN ASSIGNED SEAT NUMBER. The seating is on a first come first served basis and can only be purchased through Ticketmaster and the MSG box office. These seats are in sections 300 and 400. You may purchase a ticket for one day @ $40, or a two day ticket for $75. There is a children's ticket (up to age 12) price of $20 for each day, plus applicable fees.

Keep us updated on what's going on. I love dog shows. I have 4 Border Collies and a little fluffy mutt - wanna be Border Collie.

Thanks for the info RS.

Sort of like Going to the US Open. LONG and you see much more on tv. If you go to the day shows it is almost too exhausting to go to the evening shows.

Think I would just go to the night show after going to dinner...but good to know. It might be like football these days. All I can say I love it and will have to go at least once in the next few years....Thanks for the info.

That may work out. We went during the day, toured the back prep area. Think 5000 people in a room with 500 capacity. If we just had gone to both night shows my opinion may have been different but it was like a job. Fwiw my wife bugged me for 5 years to go and hasn't mentioned going back.

French Bulldogs are 2nd with 44.

Is this going to be on USA like it has been in the past? I remember Bill Cosby had a dog entered in it.
