Glasgow 2018 organisers are hoping the success of the 2014 Commonwealth Games will help to drive demand as tickets went on sale through Ticketmaster earlier today (Thursday).
Glasgow 2018 brings together the existing European Championships for aquatics, cycling, gymnastics, rowing and triathlon along with a new golf team championships.
Scheduled to take place next year from August 2 to 12, attendances of around 250,000 are expected across all six sports.
Sports fans can buy tickets for 84 sessions of sport starting at £10 ($12.70/€11.40) for adults and £5 for concessions, although there are also a number of free events, including the cycling road race. Tickets will be sold on a first-come-first-served basis.
Passion and support
The Glasgow 2018 European Championships is being delivered in partnership with several leading European Sports Federations with support from the Scottish Government and Glasgow City Council.
“We know the passion and support shown by fans in Scotland helped to make both the 2014 Commonwealth Games and Ryder Cup a huge success and we want that replicated across the country next year,” Minister for Sport Aileen Campbell said.
“We are expecting a quarter of a million people to turn out and cheer on some of the world’s top sporting talent at events across Scotland and I encourage anyone who wants to be there and experience that famous Scottish welcome to get their tickets.”
Ticketmaster will deliver up to 85 per cent of the total ticket sales for Glasgow 2018 with an estimated overall total sales value of £2.9m. Ticketmaster has agreed to work with Glasgow 2018 to devise a policy to accommodate ticket exchange.
