The CrossFit Games are the ultimate proving grounds for the Fittest on Earth. More than 416,000 athletes competed in the 2018 Open, but only the top fraction of a percent earn the chance to compete on the big stage.
At the Games, fans experience what CrossFit Founder Greg Glassman has called the “Woodstock of fitness.” Since its inception in 2007, the Games have grown from a small throwdown at the historic Ranch in Aromas, California, to an enormous celebration of fitness where the CrossFit community comes together to witness the crowning of the Fittest on Earth and connect with other trainers, athletes, fans and affiliate owners from around the world.
The 2018 Reebok CrossFit Games will take place in Madison, Wisconsin, at the Alliant Energy Center, Aug. 1-5. The masters, teenage, individual and team competitions will all take place within five days. A detailed schedule of the competition will be released at a later date.
During downtime in the competition, fans can take part in many activities. There will be more than 200,000 square feet of vendors and sponsors, a 20,000-square-foot beer garden, space for RV and tent camping, 20,000 square feet of spectator workout space, opportunities to try the same workouts as the athletes, live demonstrations from CrossFit Subject Matter Experts and more! The entire city of Madison will be geared up for the Games and will offer great opportunities for dining, drinking and enjoying outdoor activities throughout the city.

Those who purchase packages can choose between having their wristbands mailed and picking them up at will call. Wristbands will be assigned to one individual and are non-transferable.

Affiliate Pre-Sale
The affiliate ticket pre-sale will begin Friday, April 20, 2018, and last until Wednesday, April 25, 2018. Affiliates that had 12 or more athletes sign up for the 2018 Open will get early access to the ticketing website, Ticketmaster, where they’ll be able to purchase up to eight Festival + Coliseum Packages and an unlimited number of Festival packages (must be purchased in one transaction).
To gain early access, you must have a code. Affiliate Managers should sign into their account at Games.CrossFit.com and check their competition dashboard page to find their unique code, which will allow them to purchase up to eight Festival + Coliseum Packages through Ticketmaster. Codes will be displayed on April 11, 2018.
If you are having trouble accessing your passcode, please contact support@crossfitgames.com. If you have trouble processing your ticket order, please contact Ticketmaster at 1-800-653-8000, or check out Ticketmaster’s customer service FAQ.
Anyone can use the code. If the Affiliate Manager is not interested in purchasing tickets, he or she can hand the code off to another member at the gym or a friend halfway around the world. There are no restrictions on who can use the code; it’s entirely up to the Affiliate Manager.
Keep in mind that the code can only be used once for a single purchase. For example, you will not be able to have four friends purchase two packages each. In that scenario, you will need to have one friend buy eight packages and have the other three friends pay her back.
Beginning Thursday, April 26, 2018, remaining tickets will go on sale to the general public.
Tickets for Games Qualifiers
We encourage all family and friends of potential Games qualifiers to purchase ticket packages during the initial public sale or Affiliate sale.
However, to ensure that every Games qualifier has some seats for their family and friends, we've set aside ticket packages for Games qualifiers.
-
Each masters and teenage competitor will receive two Festival packages.
-
Each team will have the opportunity to purchase four discounted Festival + Coliseum packages and the option to purchase up to four more at face value.
-
Each individual will have the opportunity to purchase two discounted Festival + Coliseum packages, and the option to buy up to two more at face value.

Any remaining ticket packages will be released to the public on a weekly basis following each week of Regionals.
RV, Tent Camping and Camping Rx’d at the Games
Last year, we introduced camping as a new part of the CrossFit Games experience! For the second year in a row, spectators can wake up every morning with other CrossFit fans just a short walk from the Coliseum.
RV parking and tent camping will be available for those attending the Games.
There are 99 RV camping spaces located on Willow Island at the Alliant Energy Center. These spaces will be sold online and require a minimum purchase of four weeklong Games packages (Festival or Festival + Coliseum). Each RV space is priced at $700 for the entire week. Amenities listed below.

50-amp (25 spaces) or 30-amp (74 spaces) hookups available.

There are no sewer water hookups, but gray/black water removal service will be available.
-
Additionally, fresh water will be available to refill your tanks.
-
Additional shower and restroom facilities will be available.
* UPDATE: All RV spaces have been sold out for the 2018 season.
Don’t have an RV? Camp on-site on a smaller scale.
A large amount of tent spaces on the grass are available. A 10-by-20-foot camping space costs $250 for the week (limit four per customer). Temporary shower and restroom facilities will be available.
Also, a new camping option will be available this year for those interested in getting a luxury camping experience without lugging around a ton of gear. With the Camping Rx’d option, you can:
-
Stay in style with a 16-ft. canvas, weatherproof tent, already set up and outfitted with sleeping furniture.

Additional vehicle parking will be available in a nearby lot, but personal vehicles will not be allowed on Willow Island.

Parking
On-site parking is free this year, but space is extremely limited.
For those located downtown or near the Alliant Energy Center, we highly recommend finding an alternate method of transportation to the Games such as ride-sharing, walking or biking.
After an amazing first year in Madison, CrossFit will return the excitement and spirit of the Games to one of the top party cities in the U.S., not to mention one of the fittest.
See you there.
