X Games, the leading action sports competition and lifestyle brand, returns to the beaches of Ventura, California for an enhanced festival experience from June 28 – 30. General admission tickets and VIP passes for the summer event, as well as new one-of-a-kind experiences, are officially on-sale today at XGames.com/ticketing.
Immersive Festival Experience
Last year, X Games brought the iconic action sports event back to its Southern California roots, drawing more than 50,000 fans and selling out tickets and merchandise.
In 2024, X Games Ventura will feature a full-fledged festival experience, featuring special musical guest performances, art installations, cultural activations, immersive brand experiences and an array of California‘s favorite food trucks. For the first time, all general admission tickets will allow for competition viewing based on a first-come, first-served basis, and allow access to all musical performances. Musical performances will be announced at a later date.
“Fan response and enthusiasm exceeded our wildest expectations, and it was the fans that helped us to imagine an unforgettable festival experience that is bigger and better than ever. This year will be an even grander spectacle that is double the size to accommodate expanded entertainment and musical performances, improved viewing options, new medaled events and interactive fan experiences.”
said X Games VP of live events Rich Bigge
Additionally, for the first time, fans will have the opportunity to interact with their favorite athletes through exclusive and unforgettable experiences, including: happy hour with X Games icons, breakfast with the athletes and sessions on the pro street event courses. This is the first time fans have ever been allowed to skate or ride the X Games courses.
“We are thrilled to welcome X Games athletes and fans back to our beautiful beach town for another epic summer of firsts. There’s a lot to celebrate this year, and it’s all happening right here in Ventura, backed by our sun-soaked beaches and ocean breeze.”
said Visit Ventura President and CEO Marlyss Auster
Celebrating Women’s Sports
X Games is doubling down on its commitment to the progression of women’s sports, with the debut of Women’s BMX Park in Ventura as a medaled event. The field of invited riders will include several Olympians, including Team USA‘s Hannah Roberts who earned silver at Tokyo 2020. Women’s Skateboard Vert Best Trick will also make its debut this year, giving 11-year old Reese Nelson another discipline to show off her wide bag of tricks.
“I’ve always dreamed of competing in X Games and it was never a possibility until this year. Women and girls are bringing so much progression, creativity and energy into action sports across the board and it is exciting to see X Games continue to grow these sports for the next generation.
Hannah Roberts said
Championing Excellence Across Disciplines
Gold medalists from Ventura 2023 have already received their invites, including breakout Skateboard stars Arisa Trew and Chloe Covell, multi-disciplinary BMX phenoms Kevin Peraza and Ryan Williams and Moto X High Air 56-foot record holder Colby Raha.
“X Games is a breeding ground for milestones in our sports. It’s where the best in the world consistently go for their biggest, their best and their firsts. This summer will be huge for action sports, but X Games is where the athletes choose to showcase their most innovative tricks and progressive runs. Ventura will be witness to history in the making.”
X Games 10-time gold medalist and telecast host Tony Hawk said
