*UPDATE 7/2 - EXTRA FISA TICKETS*

USRowing has purchased a limited number of tickets for the FISA family grandstand, located adjacent to the VIP grandstand on the finish tower and medals dock side of the course. These seats will also have viewing access to a video screen that will show the entire race. Tickets will be equitably distributed and sold to family members designated by each athlete named to the 2008 Olympic Team. Any remaining tickets will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis. The estimated cost of the tickets is $200 each. Again, this is a set of tickets, one for each day of competition. This price is tentative and may be subject to change.

Please read the following ticket sales timeline and procedure carefully:

USOC Ticket Agent

Tickets also are available for purchase directly from the USOC ticket agent. Keep in mind that these seats will most likely NOT be FISA family grandstand tickets. These seats will most likely be located on the opposite side of the course from the FISA family grandstand, across from the medals dock and down the course towards the 1,750-meter mark.

Free Tickets

The United States Olympic Committee may provide two free tickets per athlete for each day of their competition only (i.e. not every day of rowing competition, but only the days of their races). These tickets are NOT FISA family grandstand tickets – they are for the grandstands located across the course and down closer to the 1,750-meter mark. We have no definitive information on these tickets yet, or how many would be available if they are available. If they do become available, they would be reserved at team processing or on location in Beijing. It is not possible to secure them any earlier. As soon as any further information is made public about this, it will be posted here.

Box Office

During the Games, tickets also may be purchased at the box office, if available. The box office will be located in the International Zone of the Olympic Village. The location of the box office at the rowing venue is to be determined.
