Athlete and world record-themed ticket prices will be on offer for those wishing to attend next year’s IAAF World Championships in London.
Tickets for the event, which is to take place in August 2017, went on sale this week through a general public ballot that will be open until August 29. Any unsold tickets will be brought back on to general sale in September 2016, with the official website the only place that any tickets can be bought.
Organisers said many of the 700,000 tickets going on sale will cost £35 or less, with tickets for adults starting from just £20 and child tickets for all sessions cost under £10.
They added that athlete-themed ‘world record’ ticket prices will reflect world records set at previous IAAF World Championships”. For example, tickets for one session at one price point will be available for: £12.91 (Colin Jackson’s 110m hurdles), while all children’s tickets will be priced at £9.58 (Usain Bolt’s 100m).
Niels de Vos, championships director of London 2017, said: “We wanted to make the World ParaAthletics Championships and the IAAF World Championships London 2017 as accessible as possible and I think we have delivered this with the huge range of tickets available at some ground-breaking prices.”
