Stars On Ice Tickets

Stars on Ice is a figure skating tour show that has been taking place for quite a few years now. This show is produced by the world renowned media and global sports business company named IMG (International Management Group). Apart from Stars on Ice this company also manages popular events like Britain’s Strongest Man, World’s Strongest Man, FIFA Futbol Mundial and Indian Premier League. The main brain behind Stars on Ice was Olympic gold medalist skater Scott Hamilton. In 1986 he left the travelling entertainment show Ice Capades and contacted IMG to produce a show similar to that. Initially it was known as "Scott Hamilton’s American Tour" which later on was renamed Stars on Ice. Initially Hamilton was actively touring with show but later he left skating, he continues to work as the show producer.

Since the start, the pattern of the show has remained somewhat the same, it mainly focuses on adult audience and features some high profiled skaters that perform either in form of groups or solo. It is kind of similar to the other popular skating show Disney on Ice but the skaters of Stars on Ice don’t wear cartoon costumes. In 1991 the Canadian leg of the show kicked off and since then it has been regularly doing tours.

Initially there was little budget for Stars on Ice but in 1992 IMG merged another ice show named "Skating" with Stars on Ice and it started to expand. The good part of this merger was that seasoned Olympic skater and choreographer Sandra Bezic was also acquired. It was her hard work that played a pivotal role in making the show a hit. Bezic now has been replaced by director Jeff Billings. Till now this show has won 4 Emmy Awards. Some of the renowned skaters that have been regularly touring in the past with this show were Dorothy Hamill, Brian Pockar, Rosalyn Sumners and Troller Cranston. Current touring members in the US are Jamie Sale, Todd Eldredge, Michael Weiss and sasha Cohen. The Canadian leg of the tour included skaters like Kurt Browning, Shawn Sawyer, Miki Ando, Koyoka Ina and Tenith Belbin.
