A Century of Showmanship: What to Expect
The 100 Year Tour is no ordinary basketball game, because the Harlem Globetrotters have never been an ordinary basketball team. For a full century they have blended jaw-dropping athletic skill with comedy, music and a generosity of spirit that has made them one of the most beloved touring acts in the world. A night at the Globetrotters is part sport, part theatre, part stand-up comedy and entirely unforgettable.
| Unrivalled tricks | Expect dazzling ball handling, gravity-defying slam dunks and the famous deep four-point shots you simply will not see in a standard professional game. The skill on display is genuinely world class. |
| Comedy and theatre | The Globetrotters are masters of the scripted routine, the running gag and the perfectly timed prank on their long-suffering rivals, the Washington Generals. The laughs come as thick and fast as the dunks. |
| Audience interaction | This is a show that reaches into the stands. The players regularly bring audience members onto the court and interact with the crowd, so a seat at the Globetrotters is never a passive one. The little ones in your group may never forget it. |
| Family friendly through and through | The show is universally praised as clean, warm and engaging for young children, while just as entertaining for the adults. It is the rare night out that genuinely works for every generation in the one group. |
Why a Private Bus Beats Driving Yourself to Sydney Olympic Park
Sydney Olympic Park is a superb venue, but on a major event night it draws enormous crowds, and a precinct hosting a sell-out arena show is not the place to be hunting for a park with excited children in the back seat. A private charter bus changes the whole evening.
| No parking scramble | Your driver handles the precinct traffic and drops your group close to the arena. No circling 10,000 car parks, no long dark walk back to a distant space after the show with tired children in tow. |
| Everyone travels together | One bus, one pickup, one arrival. No families getting separated across multiple cars, no waiting in the car park for the slowcoaches, no one getting lost in the precinct. |
| The grown-ups relax too | With a professional at the wheel, every adult in the group enjoys the night fully. Nobody is the designated driver navigating the M4 home at 9.30pm. |
| Cost-effective for groups | Split across the group, a charter bus often costs less per head than parking and fuel for several cars, and it is far less hassle. See our Rates and Pricing page. |
| We know the precinct | Sydney Charter Bus Australia has been running Sydney Olympic Park events for years. Coach drop-off and parking is handled at Coach Pod C off Edwin Flack Avenue, and our drivers know the quickest way in and out on a big event night. |

Fun Facts About the Harlem Globetrotters
| Why “Harlem”? | Founder Abe Saperstein chose the name to celebrate his all-Black roster, linking the team to Harlem, the great centre of Black American culture in the 1920s, even though the team actually started out of Chicago. “Globetrotter” captured his bold ambition to take them around the world. |
| Why not the NBA? | The Globetrotters are an entertainment and exhibition organisation, not a competitive league team. They specialise in comedy, tricks and scripted routines, while NBA teams focus strictly on the rules and competition of championship basketball. Different game entirely, by design. |
| A century strong | The 100 Year Tour marks a full century of the Globetrotters entertaining audiences across the globe, making this Sydney show part of a genuinely historic milestone. |
| The eternal rivals | The Washington Generals have been the Globetrotters’ opponents for decades, playing the straight man to the showmanship. The crowd always knows who to cheer for. |
Questions & Answers
| How long does the Harlem Globetrotters show last? | Approximately 1.5 to 2 hours including an intermission. The main on-court performance runs around 90 minutes. We plan your return pickup so the bus is ready when the show ends. |
| Is it suitable for young children? | Absolutely. The show is widely praised for being clean, engaging and highly entertaining for young children, while just as fun for adults. It is a true all-ages event. |
| Do you provide tickets to the show? | No. SCBA provides transport only. Tickets must be purchased separately through the official venue and ticketing partners. See the official tour site. |
| Where does the bus drop us off? | Coaches use the designated coach drop-off and parking at Coach Pod C off Edwin Flack Avenue, a short walk from the arena. Your driver will advise the exact meeting point for collection after the show. |
| What size groups can you take? | From a 12-seat minibus for a single family up to a 57-seat coach for a large group, or multiple vehicles for very large parties. See our Fleet page. |
