Timberwolf, Having been several times I can offer the following advice:-
Biggest slalom race of the year, expect upwards of 35000 spectators !! Unbelievable atmosphere,
As I have always been there whilst working, I'm not sure of the entrance fee but I would imagine that ticket prices will start from about 12/15 euros. You will need tickets but I'm not sure if you can buy in advance, google schladming and check out the website.
You will need to be there early to get any chance of a great view but it's well worth it, a not to be missed experience

Timberwolf, Br prepared for the staggering amount of NOISE the skiers make hitting the gates - you don't get any idea on TV. Don't forget to dress very warmly and take flask etc for hot drinks - you get very cold standing around at the end of January!

CEM is that Mike Klein in the middle with Jason from AMER in behind????
Can agree that the corporate hospitality,bevvy and golden tickets that atomic dish out are superb as well as the 4 days ski testing.
If you do decide to go timberwolf take a 6 inch thick 1 foot square bit of polystyrene to stand on it was -30 degrees there in 2006 a great night with a record breaking attendance of 43000 screaming drunk fans.Absolutely fantastic!!!
The polystyrene will stop your feet from freezing .

If you're in Schladming for the week of the race, it would be almost impossible not to go along or at least get involved in some way in pre and post race social exertions - the (usually fairly quiet) town goes crazy for the couple of days surrounding the race.
As everyone has said, dress warmly and with good footwear - if you're slopeside it can be hazardous!
You can buy tickets in advance but when I tried to do this a couple of years ago the website told me to go to the office and pay and collect them, but in reality, you just go to the office and buy new ones - it might be better now though.
I don't think tickets would sell out altogether, although some areas would be as from what I remember you can pay for grandstand or just general standing room - I doubt they would sell out of the latter.
Have fun - it's a great time to be in Schladders.
