Tickets for the 2024 NCAA Division I Swimming & Diving Championships will be available to the public later this month.
Public tickets for the women’s championships will go on sale on Tuesday, January 16, and tickets for the men’s meet will be available on Monday, January 22.
The 2024 Women’s NCAA D1 Championships will be hosted at the University of Georgia’s Gabrielsen Natatorium in Athens, with a seating capacity expected in the 2,000-seat range. That represents a slight uptick to last year at the University of Tennessee (1,800).
The men’s championship will be held in Indianapolis at the IU Natatorium on the IUPUI campus, which normally has a capacity of 4,700, though that’s reduced for NCAAs. Regardless, it will have a much bigger capacity than last year, when the University of Minnesota’s Jean K. Freeman Aquatic Center hosted with a capacity in the 1,350 range.

Why do they reduce the seating at IUPUI? I understand it is swam short course and seating is set up for LC / two SCY yard pools, but the sight lines still aren’t all that bad. If they could fill it with 4,700 people that seems pretty awesome, but maybe they can’t and they’d rather have a “full” house?
Totally agree! If people are willing to come and enjoy the meet, even with a crappy view, then let them enjoy it! It would make for a much more incredible environment!
Would you want to sit against the wall in diving well if you came to meet when you heard there were seats still available? I wouldn’t I would rather watch at home and actually see swimming!
Anyone have any idea what ticket prices are going to look like?
