Which venues have a guide on this site?
Several of the Games venues are places we have already covered:
- Gold Coast Aquatic Centre (swimming and diving)
- Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre (indoor rowing and Pan Pacs Central)
- The Star Gold Coast (calisthenics)
The Games’ own venues page lists addresses for all of the places in the tables, including 296 Nerang Broadbeach Road in Carrara for the Gold Coast Sports Precinct, the Gold Coast Sports and Leisure Centre and Carrara Indoor Sports Stadium, and 35 Beattie Road for Coomera Indoor Sports Centre. We have not found parking details from the Games for these venues, so check the venue operator’s page.
Can spectators go in, and what does it cost?
The sport pages we read are written for competitors and list entry fees for players, such as $50 per person for the first event in swimming. They do not say whether spectators pay or whether seating is provided. The organisers describe Pan Pacs Central as a venue where athletes, supporters and spectators come together. For anything about watching a particular sport, use the contact details on the Games’ contact page.
