Our offers for you
Competition Day Pass
Price: 6-8 € including system fees.
You buy one ticket for a whole day, which gives you access to all sports in all venues for that one day!
For example, after purchasing a Day Pass, you will be able to visit the SSE in the morning to see the swimming competitions and head to Olympiapark in the afternoon to watch football at Maifeld. All while using the free public transport included with your ticket.
Please note that not all sports require a ticket or accept spectators.
These tickets do not guarantee access to a particular sport at a particular time and seating will be on a first come, first served basis. So if you’re attending to watch a particular sport, we recommend you arrive early to secure your seat.

If you are planning to cheer for several days, you can buy an “All Competitions Pass” and save yourself time and money. This ticket will give you access to all sports across all venues for the 8 days of divisioning and competition.
