A bit of history
At the beginning of the twentieth century, on the site where the Olimpiyskiy sports complex is located today, the Union stadium was located, where Muscovites made their first attempts to master a new game of kickball. During the Soviet period, this sports facility was renamed several times. In particular, at first it began to be called the "Stadium of Sovtorgosluzhshikh", then - "Stadium of the Profintern" and, finally, "Burevestnik". The construction of Olimpiyskiy, which was to become the largest sports complex in the world at that time, began in 1977. The authorship of the project of this grandiose structure belonged to big team architects, headed by M. Posokhin. By the way, for his excellent work in 1982, together with the architect B. Thor, he was awarded one of the highest awards of the USSR - the Lenin Prize. In order to build the Olimpiysky sports complex, apart from the Burevestnik territory, construction sites were allocated for the buildings of the Voskhod factory and the Experimental Chemical and Metallurgical Plant, as well as residential buildings located in the Topoleva, Vypolzov and Samarsky lanes. Construction only lasted three years, which is not a lot considering the scale of the building, and the official opening date coincided with the opening ceremony of the 1980 Olympics.
Sports complex "Olympic" on the map of Moscow
Our capital is a metropolis, in which it is sometimes difficult to navigate not only for visitors, but also for those who were born and raised there. To prevent this from happening when you need to get to the "Olympic", you can use the map of Moscow. It is sold at any kiosk. In addition, the map is available on the Internet, including an interactive version. The scheme of the capital's subway may also come in handy, since the subway is the easiest way to get to this famous SKK. The official address of the Olimpiyskiy sports complex is Russia, Moscow, 129090, Olimpiyskiy Avenue, 16. Thus, in order to get to this or that event in this SCC, first of all, you need to get to the Central Administrative District of the capital. If it comes about traveling by public transport, it is best to take the subway and get to the station "Prospekt Mira".

Hello everyone!
I recently attended a concert at the Olimpiyskiy Sports Complex. It was not the first time I was there, but after a long break.
New about the C6 sector at the end of the review + photo!
Read about sector B (sector B):
Currently, the sports complex is used as playground, both as a pool, and as a venue for various concerts and events that require a large, spacious hall (up to 35,000 when used as a stadium, up to 28,000 when used as a concert arena), and there are many small things in the SC (various shopping, commercial, medical institutions). I was at concerts, and in the pool part, at children's performances ... But today MY REVIEW WILL BE EXACTLY ABOUT THAT PART OF THE COMPLEX WHERE CONCERTS ARE HELD (YUG Arena).
To be honest, I found out about the performance of my favorite group by chance, many tickets had already been sold out, which ones to take from the rest - I had absolutely no idea, because I was there 10 years ago at a concert, and at last few times I attended children's shows in another part of the sports complex.
The tickets were quite expensive. I didn't want to buy and get into bad places. Or pay twice as much for an approximately equal place. Moreover, I was not walking alone and it was very expensive for three! There is little information and photo-video on the Internet. I was not ready to go to the fan zone. And so I suffered for several days, and the tickets became less and less ...
As a result, we had to take tickets to the uppermost sector B, but in the middle (these are sectors B-8 and B-9). It was possible to buy a balcony below, sector A, but at the distance from the stage it is also located, just a tier lower, and at a cost it was already 2 times more expensive, and there were no central places anymore.
SCHEME OF THE HALL(it may be a little different, change from concert to concert. If you are going to a concert - look at the information about it on the website, there will be a diagram for your event).
RULES FOR ATTENDING EVENTS IN SC "OLYMPIC"(how to behave, what can be carried, etc.)
HOW TO GET TO SC "OLYMPIC"
On WEBSITE other information is also presented. For example, about attending events by minors, persons with disabilities, specifications platforms, etc.
Well, we are with the cherished tickets at the UK! I must say that the lucky ones from the fan zone usually arrive very early, get in line at the entrance and as soon as they start, they run to take a seat closer to the stage. Companions with seating may take their time. First, there are many entrances and no crowds. Secondly, not a single concert has begun on time, in any case, the band will sing for exactly 20-30 minutes as the opening act. Thirdly, there is simply nothing to do in the IC itself.
But first things first.
Everyone who comes passes 2-3 cordons security ... They will let you through the metal detector, and the dogs will sniff, and the police will touch you.
Inside ... well, who was 10-15 years ago - everything is the same! Dull tiled walls like in a public toilet, old staircases, sector and place markings.
On the podium itself too, everything is unchanged. Plastic chairs from the time of the Olympics, on them with paint, you can hardly make out, the seat numbers are written. People on such chairs are packed tightly, there is simply nowhere to put a bottle of water. No fences, if the phone is dropped, then it flies down the rows. Behind you, in fact, on your shoulders someone's legs ... .. A little freer, but the same plastic chairs in the VIP-seats (sectors C8 - C15).
As I said, there is nothing to do in the UK itself. To be honest, I hoped to shoot something, some promotional materials, posters ... Nothing. Bare walls. As if now there will not be a concert, but we will go to the pool.
Trade represented by single tables with T-shirts, disks and some Chinese junk. At supernatural prices, of course.
About food and drink: Well, it's not at all into any gate! On the floors there are counters, through which the saleswomen actively pour everyone (also for fantastic money) and you can have a little snack. We are teetotalers, the concert was delayed greatly, we felt hungry, we went to this "buffet". We bought a small bottle of water, a small juice, a small chocolate bar (not even a bar), one cola and one butter. Gave 850 rubles! So, citizens, eat well before the concert, there is nothing to eat!
Again - we took these bottles and juices, all this is in our hands, another bag, binoculars, and then the concert begins, we have to run to the places, we settled there like sparrows on perches, our hands are busy, we also need to get the phone for a photo, put it down nowhere but directly on the concrete floor under the seat….
About natural needs: queue. But it's free.
About wardrobe and binoculars: There are wardrobes. Binoculars are issued as follows: 500 rubles is worth using binoculars (non-refundable amount), 1000 deposit if you don’t rent clothes, and without deposit if you donate them. Moreover, you can hand over anything, even a T-shirt. Think about a spare item that you can check into your wardrobe if you don’t want to leave 1000 rubles as a deposit. (By the way, the binoculars are of very mediocre quality).
About the ventilation and air conditioning system: We sat at the very top, and it is under the ceiling that the ventilation system is located. Before the hall was completely packed and the concert began, I was afraid that it would blow me away, but after the event started it was very hot. I can't imagine what it was like to those who were sitting or standing below.
About places: I am posting real photos from the Olimpiyskiy Sports Complex with the markings of the seats. And I will share my comments. Of course, if you are young, strong and resilient, then you need to go to the fan zone, and closer to the stage. There are also usually all sorts of cute things happen. You can not only sing well, dance well, but also, with a very successful combination of circumstances, hug with your favorite artist or catch a small present from the musicians. In dance parterres and sides of the type C1, C2, C3, C4, C22, C 21, C20, C19, as well as A1, A2, A3, A18, A17, A16 in the absence of an additional scene (language), or if the artist is not enough for her performance - most likely, you can only listen. Unfortunately, the hall is not so modernized that even such a “miracle” as side screens is not provided (but what is there! These rags alone that separate the stage from the rest of the arena are worth something!). There is one screen in the center. And just now I'm getting closer to how we looked from the sector AT 8... Well, ideally, I would not only enter the fan zone, I would climb on stage, but I will say that I was not mistaken with the places. The hall is located in tiers, so a little lower, a little higher, it does not play a special role, you cannot sit closer from this. But sitting as much as possible in the center is important! First, you can appreciate all the shows in the complex. Secondly, the screen is also in the center and some details can be seen in it.
About sound: The sound was very mediocre. Simply put - phonilo! The speakers are located near the stage and under the ceiling in the hall. Heard by everyone.
About the concert itself: The concert, of course, was crazy. Regardless of all the organizational drawbacks and shortcomings, unfortunately, we do not have an equivalent site in terms of capacity. We have to be content with what we have. Although it would certainly be more joyful to be in a pleasant, beautiful, festive environment ourselves, since I paid a lot of money and came to the concert. Yes, and inviting artists to such a barn is somehow embarrassing (should be).
For those who will go to the event at the Olympic Stadium by car: place away from the UK. The sea of people will flow along all the nearby streets for at least half an hour. The cars will stand.
If I gave a rating for the concert, then the Ayrek would not have enough stars. I think that your event will also leave the most pleasant memories. Therefore, despite the low rating, I recommend. I recommend that you attend cultural events, concerts, performances. It charges!
But for the SC Olimpiyskiy I give a barely stretched C grade and sincerely hope that it will be modernized in the near future!
November 2017:
Egegey! I was at the Olympic again! I took tickets on the eve of the concert, I got Sector C6, 14th row, 14-15th seats. We could hardly see the screens (but the passage is nearby, you can go out on business or dance, but closer to the end of the sector you can already see the screens and the scene is better). The sound is still disgusting, different instruments and voice are not "mixed". Have sectors A-C your wardrobe on the second floor minus. It's tough! After the concert, you can spend up to an hour in a crush there. But there are many water closets and there is something more decent to eat (on the floors above, there are also tables with buffers). The binoculars also cost 500 rubles when you drop off your clothes. See the photo as seen from sector C6:
Olympic Sports Complex is the largest indoor arena in Europe. The Olympic Sports Complex hosts competitions in 22 sports. During the existence of the sports complex, the world championships in artistic gymnastics, boxing, bandy, rhythmic gymnastics, Greco-Roman wrestling, European Ice Hockey Champions Cup, First World Youth Games and many others sporting events of the first magnitude.
Since 1990, metropolitan viewers have been buying tickets to the Olympic to the international tennis tournament series ATP "Kremlin Cup". Also, the arena of the sports complex regularly hosts international tournament Commonwealth Champions Cup, in which the strongest take part soccer teams CIS.
Buy tickets to Olympiyskiy
The Olympic Sports Complex was built in 1980, specially for Olympic Games held in Moscow. A team headed by the famous architect M.V. Posokhov worked on the project of the new sports complex, who was awarded the Lenin Prize based on the results of the construction. The most important events of the Moscow Olympics took place on the arena of the Olympic Stadium. Since 1983, concert and entertainment events begin to take place in Olympic. Tickets in the sports complex became a pass to the performances of bright stars of the national stage, premieres of many famous programs of Alla Pugacheva took place here, and in 1987 the metropolitan audience was able to buy tickets to SK Olympiyskiy to the unforgettable show of the magnificent Adriano Celentano.
Later, many Western stars performed on the Olympic arena, including Billy Joel, Uriah Heep, Status Qwo, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Iron maiden"," Depeche Mode ", Ellis Cooper, Sting, Robert Plant and many others. V last years in Olimpiyskiy the music festivals "Maksidrom", "Disco 80s", "Retro FM Legends", "Big Love Show" are held with great success.
Today, the Olympic Stadium remains one of the centers of the sports and musical life of the capital. If you are interested in the price of tickets to the Olympic, browse the events published on our website and choose tickets that suit you in terms of cost and location in the auditorium.
The Olympic sports complex is one of the main attractions of the capital. The largest sports and entertainment events of the world level were held within its walls. Among them are the 1980 Olympics, the Rhythmic Gymnastics World Championships, the World Boxing Championships and even the Biathlon Champions Race.
Concerts of world stars - Depeche Mode, Beyonce, Aerosmith, Kylie Minogue, Scorpions - were sold out at Olimpiyskiy. And in 2009, the complex became famous all over the world, becoming the venue for the popular Eurovision Song Contest.
With time sports objects Olimpiyskiy - the main arena and swimming pool - are outdated, they do not meet international standards. Therefore, on July 1, 2019, the sports complex will be closed for reconstruction. It will run until 2022.
Olimpiyskiy is being reconstructed according to the principle of the Luzhniki stadium
The recognizable façade of the main building will not change. It will be saved. Its reconstruction will be carried out by analogy with the Luzhniki stadium: the entire span of the building will remain along the front wall, and the lower, stylobate part and the roof will be rebuilt.
Reconstruction project of SC "Olympiyskiy"
Now the roof of the "Olympic" is a membrane concave inward, which "eats up" a lot of space. A glass dome will appear instead.
SC "Olympic" before reconstruction
“It will be located at a significant offset from the perimeter of the building. Therefore, it will be invisible from the height of human growth, ”explained the design director of the SC Galina Gordyushina.
Diving center, rooftop concert hall and panoramic restaurants
After the reconstruction, the Olimpiyskiy Sports Complex will become the first indoor multifunctional sports complex in Russia, which will bring together a variety of sports under one roof and enhance the existing sports functions.
The existing bowls will be left in the swimming pool of the Olympic Stadium. In addition, there will be an entertainment area for adults and children, a water park and a beach sports area. Also, the first in Russia training diving center with a height of about 30 meters will be created there.
Stands for 500 seats will be added to the existing ice rink, and universal Sport halls will occupy tennis, streetball and squash, which is gaining popularity.
Reconstruction project of SC "Olympiyskiy"
In the main building, floors will appear instead of the arena. They will equip a running center, a fitness club, and a spa center. Half of the floor will be occupied by a family recreation area.
An entire floor will be set aside for cinemas, exhibition spaces and a small planetarium will also appear. Now the possibility of creating an electronic library is being worked out with international experts.
A concert hall for 10 thousand spectators will be located under the dome itself. And although it will be three times smaller, the opportunity to hold large-scale concerts will remain.
“Seven years ago, the issue of reducing the area of the concert hall would have been acute, then the“ Olympic ”was almost the only venue. Now concerts are successfully held at the stadiums "Luzhniki", "Otkrytie Arena", VTB-Arena ", - said G. Gordyushina.
Panoramic restaurants will be located on the exploited part of the roof.
The main building and the swimming pool at the stylobate level will be connected by a running track in the form of the number "8". Its length will be about 1 km. The pedestrian connection with the building will also remain.
Reconstruction project of SC "Olympiyskiy"
There are enough parking spaces for everyone
Now cars are parked in front of the building. An underground parking will appear after the reconstruction. The ability to park cars on the surface will remain, but not so much. Due to this, a pedestrian zone will be created there.
