Local Olympics fans will be able to watch many of the major events at the Paris Games live at pubs, clubs and bars across the state, thanks to the NSW Government\u2019s Special Event Extended Trading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Venues can trade during the early hours of the morning if they screen selected 2024 Olympics events for patrons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With an eight-hour time difference between Paris and Sydney, the extended trading will give more fans the chance to cheer on their favourite athletes and teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The NSW Government\u2019s Special Event Extended Trading supports the state\u2019s venues and encourages a vibrant nightlife for residents and tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Under the extensions, venues can open their doors longer for special cultural and sporting events, helping to boost local night-time economies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Patrons should check with their local venue for specific opening hours during the games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Minister for Music and the Night-time Economy John Graham said:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOlympic fever only strikes once every four years and as Australians we know this means late nights and some sleep deprivation to enjoy it properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThere is nothing like cheering home a gold medal winner with friends and community. Special event extended trading will support that \u2013 as well as an economic boost and more jobs at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAll NSW pubs, clubs and bars are eligible venues for the Olympics extended trading hours, and do not need to apply individually to open when they screen the Games live.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Minister for Gaming and Racing David Harris said:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Olympics is the biggest show on Earth, and Australia is one of its most sport-loving nations, so it\u2019s appropriate that NSW residents will be able to come together at local venues to cheer on our athletes competing in these major events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe extended trading will allow our pubs, clubs and bars to benefit from the Games while patrons soak up the Olympics atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEnabling venues to trade later during major sporting events is a key part of the NSW Government\u2019s commitment to creating a safe, inclusive and vibrant night-time economy across NSW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI look forward to joining the late-night crowds to cheer on our Olympians during the coming weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Local Olympics fans will be able to watch many of the major events at the Paris Games live at pubs, clubs and bars across the state, thanks to the NSW Government\u2019s Special Event Extended Trading.
