Adult pricing begins at $25, and children’s tickets are under $10 for select sessions.
“For Team USATF fans, this is the opportunity of a lifetime to see U.S. athletes take on the best of the rest of the world on the global stage, at home, on U.S. soil,” said USA Track & Field Chief Executive Officer Max Siegel.
Special commemorative prices on Friday, July 22, will honor several world records achieved by American athletes at World Championships throughout history.

The competition schedule has been carefully designed to allow multi-talented athletes to contest all traditional doubles, so this will be the perfect stage for our athletes to show just how extraordinary they are.
