Invictus Games Orlando 2016 Opening Ceremony Details

inline imageThe Invictus Games Orlando 2016 takes place May 8-12 and will feature more than 500 injured military veterans and active duty personnel from 14 countries competing in 10 events.

The official Invictus Games Flag has begun its ceremonial tour which started at London’s Buckingham Palace and made its first U.S. stop on Tuesday in New York City. The flag is scheduled to arrive to great fanfare at Walt Disney World Resort just before the Games begin.

The opening event is on 8 May inside Champion Stadium at Espn Wide World Of Sports, Walt Disney World and will include performances, stories of the competitors and additional music acts, all televised live on ESPN2.

The Opening Ceremony is partly being produced by the same company that did the opening ceremonies for the 2014 Invictus Games and 2012 London Olympics and will feature musical performances by James Blunt and Laura Wright, in addition to appearances from Prince Harry and First Lady Michelle Obama, with more names still to be announced.

Tickets are on sale now, starting at $18 for adults and $13 for children (ages 3-9), seniors (60-over) and military personnel. Children under 3 are free. Opening Ceremony tickets are $65 for adults and $45 for children, seniors and military personnel (Closing Ceremony tickets will be available at a later date). Tickets are available at all Ticketmaster outlets and at invictusgames2016/tickets.

It sounds really good. I wish we were going to be there at the time. Not bad value either.

I think there is a problem with the website, as I have tried to buy tickets and apart from the opening ceremony tickets, the others won't let me buy them will try again tomorrow.

This is a problem with the Ticketmaster website - tickets for the opening ceremony are allocated on a seat number basis but other events i.e. archery etc are general admission and that is what causes the problem. You have to be prepared to pay the fees again - cannot comment on closing ceremony as I won't be in Orlando at that time to buy but I suspect same problem will arise.

It will be interesting to see how many DIBB members are attending the Opening Ceremony - I have tickets for this event. Could this be a DIBB "do" in the making?
