Summer Olympics Tickets

Summer Olympics Schedule

The Summer Olympics takes place every 4 years at an equidistant time between Winter Olympic Games (although athletes crossing over between the 2 is very uncommon)!

The Summer Olympics are preceded by the Olympic Torch Relay where a torch is carried across the world before ending up in the host city or province. Each edition features about 2 and a half weeks of competition with disciplines taking place throughout and in various venues – existing and purpose-built – in the host city or province. The opening ceremony and closing ceremony are spectacular and colourful affairs usually held in a major or Olympic stadium that bookend the Games.

Summer Olympics Tickets

Summer Olympics ticket prices can vary depending on many factors such as the sport, the round (e.g. preliminary rounds or finals/medal rounds), and the view from the seat. The price brackets of Summer Olympic tickets are generally staggered in categories with the most affordable being for seating further from the action and the premium being for seats with the best views.

About Summer Olympics

"Never underestimate the power of dreams and the influence of the human spirit. We are all the same in this notion: the potential for greatness lives within each of us" - Wilma Rudolph, US Olympic champion sprinter

The most celebrated multi-sport event in the world, the Summer Olympics brings together athletes from hundreds of different countries every 4 years to compete across a wide range of sports. With the motto “Citius, Altius, Fortius - Communiter” (“Faster, Higher, Stronger - Together”), the vast event follows the notion of uniting people from across the globe through the ideals of striving to be the best. The 2025 Games are due to be held in Los Angeles.

📜 Summer Olympics History

The modern Olympic games have roots in ancient Greece, where a quadrennial celebration of the god Zeus in Olympia also saw competition in sports like chariot racing, wrestling, and running. After being held for over a millennium, the games died out around 400 A.D. before being revived in 1896 in Athens. The modern Olympics have captivated the world like no other competition and the games' logo of five interlocking rings, which symbolises the continents and the coming together of its athletes, is instantly recognizable to millions.

💯 Summer Olympics Format

The Olympic Games are subdivided into the Winter Games and the Summer Games, with one occurring every 2 years at a predetermined location. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) - along with the chosen host - is the body responsible for organising the Games.

The Summer Olympics offer a full spectrum of team games, with everything from sports like basketball, baseball, rugby, volleyball, and football (soccer) to more niche sports like artistic swimming, water polo, and equestrian events. Other individual sports run the gamut from athletics to competitions like golf, tennis, cycling, boxing, and gymnastics. Winners become Olympic champions and are rewarded with gold medals.

Olympic Golf, Le Golf National

My first golf event and the organisation of the event was superb. Transport to and from the event first class. The only down side food and drink expensive and not the best quality.
