Gold level VIP Packages have already sold out and individual tickets have just gone on sale for the September 12-15th Las Vegas event.

American Media, LLC Chairman & CEO David J. Pecker explains, "Under the direction of our new Chief Olympia Officer Dan Solomon, the production team is full speed ahead. And with a total prize purse of nearly $1.5 million, including $400,000 to the Mr. Olympia champion, the 2019 Olympia competition is the most lucrative competition in the category, by a wide margin. I'm also excited to share that plans are currently in the works to increase prize money for the women's events to an all-time high."
