I have no idea if we will attend but we shall see. It's a chance to see most of the USA track and field stars in one place. I have to research again which events won't be held there. Unfortunately, I think the women's heptathlon is one of them.
is and the demand for it and the set up with 7 events. wouldn't be worth doing anywhere else. Last Olympic trials they were there as I was rooting for Jadin wearing my Notre Dame hat. I assume the Decathlon would be held there as well. Most of the field events are held early in the day with a sparce crowd but the 800 is always run on the last day in front of the big crowd.
My guess the only thing that would not be in Eugene will be the Marathon and the Walking races which can be done other places pretty well Still Eugene has good weather for those races in June with low humidity and have held those races well during full T&F competition. . Eugene Marathon is fast race as my wife qualified for Boston when she ran her fastest time to date in Eugene years back.
decathlon, heptathlon or the 10,000 meters, all of which will be held earlier in the spring -- at locations still to be determined -- to allow for additional recovery." They had announced this earlier this year and confirmed it again this week.
the Olympics were to those trial dates. I don't know where they'd hold but it won't much of an event. I wonder if they could piggy back it to an earlier major T&F meet to get a bigger crowd but they can do whatever they want,
of the Olympic selection trial for certain events as you know.
I was in the initial ticket drop back in April and snagged 12 tickets to soccer games that will be played here. Like you said, all the lowest tier tickets had already been scooped up (I think LA locals had first crack at everything). I got the next tier, which was about $145/each I think. The seats will be somewhere behind a goal. Kind of expensive considering it won't be as good of competition, it's almost certain that the US won't be playing in the St. Louis pool, and it's a sport I don't much care about, but when else am I going to be able to go the Olympics?
I'm in the second ticket drop this weekend, but I don't think I'll be buying any more.
couldn't afford or get World Cup tickets, They do care about soccer and were glad some of the Olympics were coming to Ohio which they moved to from here in Oregon where they were born and met in 1st grade and both of their were born in the Pacific Noprthwest. Housing and Olympic games are a lot cheaper in Ohio than on the West Coast.
Sounds like another global event hosted in the US we won't be attending.
Also, I wasn't aware of this at all, unlike the World Cup tickets. How did everyone here who applied for the tickets hear about this process? It wouldn't have been on my radar for two years out. Next time we know, FIFA will start selling 2030 World Cup tickets next year.
my city was announced as a host site for soccer. The local articles about it included the information about the early registration.
Don't recall how or when I first heard about ticket sales, but I registered at tickets.la28.org back in mid-January. As another poster noted, priority was given to SoCal residents for the first round of sales in March. Good friend has a home out there, but was reluctant to register for the early sale because the committee warned that credit cards used to purchase in the pre-sale had to have local billing addresses. If they didn't, the committee threatened to cancel the deal and not refund the money. His credit cards are still billed to home in Suburban Chicago so he didn't want to take the risk - especially given the high prices.
Then the second round just went down with priority given to VISA card holders - which I didn't get. I got the sense there were multiple assigned "windows" in this round. My window was 48 hours starting Monday afternoon.
I don't know if there will be additional ticketing rounds, but there are indications that there will be.
Applying for tickets are by areas within the venue. We will not get section/row/seat info until much later. We also won't get info on handling the tickets (e.g., resale) until sometime next year.
