The Simone Biles Gold Over America Tour might be new to many fans of the 2024 Paris Olympics. The 11-time Olympic medalist teased this USA gymnastics tour a bit during her interviews on NBC’s Today show, where she explained that she’s wearing a black boot to help her ankle recover before this tour starts. Indeed, the first performance for this gymnastics show, otherwise known as “the GOAT tour” or the Athleta Presents Gold Over America Tour, is scheduled for September 17, 2024. Here’s more information about what this Simone Biles gymnastics tour is about, the general cost of the tickets, the lineup of gymnasts, and the list of locations.
What is the Gold Over America Tour starring Simone Biles?

The show will include choreographed routines as well as gymnastics by the full roster of athletes in the show. This time around, it will star both female and male gymnasts, unlike the all-female 2021 GOAT tour. Every show will be about 110 minutes or just under 2 hours, along with a short intermission. This 2024 GOAT tour effectively follows the tradition of post-Olympic gymnastics tours in the United States.
Most tickets for the show cost about $40 to $100 depending on the venue and how close the seats are to the front of the stage. Attendees can also upgrade to various VIP ticket packages in the $150-250 range, including Emerald, Ruby, and Diamond packages that includes custom merchandise, priority check-in with a separate VIP entrance, and reserved seating.
