Ashley Walden, executive director of the Adirondack Sports Council and the Lake Placid 2023 FISU World University Games’ Organising Committee commented about this important step in the lead up to January. “The launch of ticket sales is an exciting milestone for a global event of this size. Fans will now be able to purchase their tickets to witness the world’s best collegiate winter athletes compete on Lake Placid’s historic competition venues and throughout the iconic North country region. In keeping with the Games’ mission for sustainability and conservation, tickets will be available primarily on a mobile platform.”
