From those humble beginnings, Rose City has become the largest roller derby league in the world with over 500 active skating members, including an awesome junior derby program, and hundreds of volunteers and support staff. And we wouldn’t be true to ourselves if we didn’t mention that we are the current WFTDA Champs, bringing the Hydra trophy home in 2015! WELCOME TO PORTLAND, OR! The Rose City Rollers are super-excited to host another WFTDA Tournament! This packet contains details about the tournament weekend including visitor information about the Portland area. WFTDA Champs is all about competitive roller derby—but we also know that Portland is a great place to visit. We look forward to spending an amazing weekend with you—both on and off the track! 1 TICKETS & SEATING Visit wftda.com/champs to purchase tickets 3-Day Weekend Pass, General Admission Friday Evening, Final Two Bouts Only Age 13+: $75.00 Age 13+: $25.00 Age 9-12, 55+ (senior), Military (box office only): $60.00 Age 9-12, 55+ (senior), Military (box office only): $20.00 Age 8 and under: free Age 8 and under: free All ages VIP*: $125 Saturday Evening, Final Two Bouts Only Friday Single-Day, General Admission Age 13+: $25.00 Age 13+: $30.00 Age 9-12, 55+ (senior), Military (box office only): $20.00 Age 9-12, 55+ (senior), Military (box office only): $20.00 Age 8 and under: free Age 8 and under: free Sunday Evening, Final Two Bouts Only Saturday Single-Day, General Admission Age 13+: $25.00 Age 13+: $30.00 Age 9-12, 55+ (senior), Military (box office only): $20.00 Age 9-12, 55+ (senior), Military (box office only): $20.00 Age 8 and under: free Age 8 and under: free Sunday Single-Day, General Admission *The VIP 3-day ticket includes: • Reserved assigned seating—best seats in the house!
