Preliminary stages of the competition are non-ticketed, allowing fans to watch the action from the Grand Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge for free on December 13 and 14.

Semi-final and final clashes are all ticketed with action taking place inside the Grand Prospect Hall on December 14, following the closing of the preliminary rounds.

USA Fencing is also urging members and fans who cannot attend the event to support their athletes by making a tax-deductible donation and sending encouragement to the team.
