| Quest Center Omaha during the 2008 USA Swimming Olympic Trials |
USA Swimming has announced the availability of four-day Olympic trial tickets. The 2012 swimming Olympic trials will take place in Omaha, Neb. at the Quest Center Omaha during the week of Jun. 25 through Jul. 2. Swimming fans will now have the option of purchasing packets for either the first four days of competition, Jun. 25-28, or the last four, Jun. 29-Jul. 2.
Ticket prices range from $180 to $290 depending on seating placement and availability. Ticket packages include both the morning preliminary sessions and the nightly final sessions. Packages can be purchased online through Ticketmaster or at the CenturyLink Center Omaha box office , either in person or by phone.
This new ticketing option will appeal to those who cannot attend the full week competition or cannot afford to. Andrew Perez, Former swimmer and Pasadena, CA resident, says he changed his mind about not attending after hearing about this new option, “Initially it was too expensive,” he said, “Now my expenses will be cut about half and that changes everything.”
USA Swimming initially began selling full session tickets in July. They included all eight days of competition and the prices for that package ranged from $325 to $525 based on location. Those tickets are no longer available online but can still be purchased by contacting the box office.
In July there were also 140 exclusive seats made available. Those who purchased these seats for $1000 were able to snag the best seats in the house. Those people will be seated on the pool deck watching USA’s best swimmers battling for a coveted spot on the U.S. Olympic Team. “As a former swimmer, being on deck at Olympic trials would be an amazing experience,” he said, “Definitely the best seats available.”
One-day tickets have not been made available but USA Swimming says they will be made available at a later date. For additional information on the swimming Olympic trials please visit HERE.
