Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games: More than million tickets go on sale

TICKETS for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games have gone on general sale as more than million tickets are being sold through a random ballot.

The Games will be held across the West Midlands from 28 July to 8 August next year, and people have until October to apply online for tickets from 286 sessions. Moreover, they got 19 sports and eight Para sports to choose from.


The ballot will also consist tickets to the opening and closing ceremonies, which are being looked after by a team including Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight and theatre director Iqbal Khan.

Tickets start at £8 for children and £15 for adults.

Ian Reid, chief executive of Birmingham 2022 expects "full stadiums, with passionate crowds to cheer on the athletes".

There will be venues hosting events in Birmingham, Sandwell, Solihull, Leamington Spa, Coventry, Wolverhampton, and Cannock Chase.

Olympic and Commonwealth gold medal-winning gymnast, Max Whitlock, said: "Tokyo was an amazing experience but the chance to compete in front of a home crowd with family, friends and spectators all in attendance will be massively appealing to many of our country's best athletes."

Birmingham's Alexander Stadium is being redeveloped to host the athletics and the opening and closing ceremonies and a new aquatics centre is being built in Sandwell.

Fery keeps Wimbledon dream alive after reaching historic semi-final

ARTHUR FERY's run at Wimbledon continued on Wednesday as the British wildcard reached the semi-finals with a straight-sets win over Italian ninth seed Flavio Cobolli, setting up a last-four meeting with French Open champion and second seed Alexander Zverev.

The 23-year-old, ranked 114th in the world, beat Cobolli 6-4, 7-6(4), 6-0 on Centre Court to become only the fourth male wildcard to reach the semi-finals of a Grand Slam and only the fifth British man in the Open era to make the last four at Wimbledon. The victory also means Fery will leave the tournament ranked at least world number 36 after returning from a bone stress injury that left him outside the top 500 just 18 months ago.
