Own Skates tickets will be released 7-10 days at a time. This helps restrict ticket hoarding, and gives more people a chance to skate. We do not publish release days or times here, but follow us on Twitter, or sign up for our newsletter for up-to-the-minute notice when tickets go on sale.
PLEASE NOTE: If the date you choose says "no performances," check back later! Please don't email or call us: the site is not broken, we just have not yet made those dates live. IMPORTANT: due to no shows and ticket hoarding, and to allow as many people with their own skates a chance to skate at The Rink, we are implementing the following rules:

NEW THIS SEASON!
For health and safety, much has changed. Please read below carefully before arriving at The Rink:
- Contactless reservations and payment: all transactions are online only.
- Outdoor experience: from check-in to skate pen, skating this year is a fully outdoor experience. Dress accordingly!
- Skate time: each skate session has 3-4 groups timed from your arrival to departure from rink. Your ticket selection is one group.
- Please arrive on time for your group to get the most out of your skate session.
- Storage: Bag Check has moved out of the skating areas, and lockers have been eliminated. Please read below carefully before your visit:
- All skate rentals come with a complimentary drawstring shoe bag that will be worn on your back with shoes securely stowed.
- If you are bringing your own skates, you must have a similarly sized drawstring bag* (16" x 18") with a secure closure, OR you can purchase one onsite at The Rink or Bryant Park Shop.
- All other items must be checked before entering skating areas. Bag Check is on the south side of the park, near the carousel.
- Absolutely no personal items can be left on the ground, on benches, or with chaperones in skating areas. Unattended items will be taken to Bag Check and will be subject to a fee upon retrieval.
