Doublehalf Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) I know this is early but I saw Olympic Trial ticket information would be coming out soon. I'm dead set on going and wanted to see who had experience with the process/getting tickets and the trials experience in general ? Is it hard to get tickets to the event? How early should you book hotels and all that jazz... just want to make sure I do things right! Edited April 21, 2023 by Doublehalf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mspart Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I went to the WTTs in Seattle in 1999. It was really fun, crowds were small. Might not be that way at PSU but generally, NCAA action seems to bring in bigger crowds than international wrestling events. mspart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Parrish Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 State College is not the easiest place to get to by air. I wish we'd stop doing that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beer will be free for coaches, parents and athletes. Critics are charged double. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You still get the the huge PSU crowd, but other people will be able to attend without driving through 3 hours of farmland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
de4856 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 I know that this has nothing to do with the subject, but I would love to see some World championships come back to the US. I know that we get the World Cup, but it would be great if we could get a U17, U20, or Seniors back here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheapest option might be flying into Harrisburg (hour 15mins) Pittsburg (2hr 45mins) or Philly (solid 3 hrs without traffic). Flying into State College can get pricey.

It’s not ideal for people that have to fly in, but Harrisburg should have some affordable flights and it’s not too bad of a drive from there. What makes it a great location is that is centrally located in PA. The majority of the fans will be driving there, and the state’s hotbeds for wrestling are Pittsburgh area and Lehigh valley. Both are opposite ends of the state, so if you have it in say, Philly, it would be an easy drive for the Lehigh Valley guys but Pittsburgh would be too long for most to make the trip. State College will draw people from all over the state and surrounding states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
