Tickets for National Level Diving Competitions On Sale Now

Tickets for three national-level competitions coming to the Greensboro Aquatic Center in August are sale now.

Tickets may be purchased at Ticketmaster, charge-by-phone at 1-800-745-3000, Ticketmaster outlets at participating Walmart locations and the Greensboro Coliseum box office.

Approximately 800 of the nation’s top young divers will participate in the 2012 USA Diving Age Group National Championships (August 1-3) and the USA Diving Junior National Championships (August 4-10). The events will culminate with the AT&T National Diving Championships (August 14-19). One of the premier diving events held each year, the 2012 AT&T Nationals is expected to draw approximately 150 of the nation’s best divers, including members of the U.S. Olympic team.

All-session ticket books for the AT&T National Diving Championships (six sessions) are $40. All session ticket books for the USA Diving Junior National Championships (seven sessions) are $40 and all-session ticket books for the USA Diving Age Group National Championships (three sessions) are $25. For all three competitions, individual session tickets are $10 (age 6 and under- free) and are valid for that entire day’s events. Seating for all three events is general admission.

2012 will mark the first time since 2006 that the junior nationals and AT&T Nationals have been held at the same venue, a plus for divers and coaches who will be involved in both events as they can continue training instead of travelling to another city and acclimating to a new facility. The Greensboro Area Convention & Visitors Bureau estimates the AT&T National Diving Championships and Junior National and Age Group Championships will generate more than $8 million in economic impact.
