The 2024 rendition of the Summer Olympics is upon us, with Paris, France serving as host country for the third time, and the first time in 100 years. As always there is a large US presence at this year’s games, with close to 600 athletes on Team USA aiming to take home gold. Some of the most high-profile athletes at the games this year are on Team USA.
So, if you’re a fan looking to see the games and cheer on these superstars, what will it cost you? Sportscasting.com has gathered and analyzed ticket prices for Team USA’s signature events this year – these include men’s basketball, headlined by a slew of future Hall of Famers like Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, and LeBron James, who will serve as Team USA’s flagbearer this year.
Basketball games range from something on the affordable side, such as the contest against Puerto Rico, which will run you $165 per ticket. Men’s basketball also proves to be the most expensive ticket in Paris, with the Gold Medal game running $710 per ticket. The average ticket cost for USA basketball is $350 per person.
Women’s gymnastics is also one of the perennial big-ticket events, and this year is no exception, especially in events where the G.O.A.T. Simone Biles is competing. Those events are up an astounding 18% from most men’s basketball games, with tickets for the qualifying rounds expected to fetch $271 per person, the team finals running $421, and the all-around finals coming in at $390.
Men’s and women’s track and field events are also one of the premier events at the Olympic Games, and Team USA is loaded with stars on both teams this time around – these include world record holder Noah Lyles and superstar Sha’Carri Richardson.
The early rounds of the men’s and women’s relay events prove to be the most affordable of all Team USA major events, with tickets for both set at $24. The most expensive event proves to be the men’s 200 meter at $151 per ticket, while on the women’s side, the 100-meter semis and finals are the most expensive at $133.
