Birmingham 2022: Last day to apply for Commonwealth Games tickets
Today marks the last day for people to get their tickets for next year's Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.
The public ballot closes at 8pm tonight (September 30th).
Tickets for 286 events across 11 days are up for grabs.
The Games will be held in 14 venues across the region, and will feature 19 sports and eight Para sports - making it the biggest in the games' history.
How to apply:
What is a ticket ballot and how does it work?
Birmingham 2022 say the ballot is intended to be the “fairest way” of giving everyone a chance to apply for tickets. The ballot is not being conducted on a first come, first serve basis - anyone can apply at any time during the ballot window. At the end of each ballot window, ballots will be run for each session, and tickets will be allocated to applicants at random.
Are there any rules to consider when applying?
Applicants must be over 18 years - and you can only submit one application per household.
Can I apply for more than one session?
Yes. You can apply for tickets for any of the 286 sport sessions and both the opening and closing ceremonies - though organisers say: “Please take a sensible approach and only apply for tickets that match your budget. You need to be able to cover the cost of all the tickets you apply for.”
