With only a few days to go to the London 2012 Paralympic Games, the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) has released a further 70,0000 Paralympic tickets for sale, including remaining tickets for the Opening Ceremony on Wednesday.
Tickets for a wide range of sports are available, including Athletics, Boccia, Equestrian, Swimming and Wheelchair Basketball. Paralympic tickets are on sale at www.tickets.london2012.com. Wheelchair users can purchase tickets by calling 0844 847 2012.
In recognition of Visa's longstanding support of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, only Visa (debit, credit and prepaid) can be used to purchase tickets. For applicants outside of the UK, a full list of Authorised Ticket Resellers is available on the London 2012 ticketing website.
Approximately 2.3 million tickets have now been sold for the Paralympic Games - more than any previous Paralympic Games.
There are four general types of tickets to the Paralympic Games:
1. Reserved seating means that each individual ticket is assigned a specific seat in the venue.
Only the ticket holder may occupy the seat.
· This seating type applies to Athletics, Track Cycling, Swimming and the medal event sessions in some other sports.
2. General admission seating means that you can choose your seat on arrival at the venue on a first come, first served basis.
When tickets are bought for a specific session there will always be enough capacity to seat all ticketholders.
· Apart from some finals, this ticket type applies for Rowing, Equestrian, Road Cycling, ExCeL sports, Archery, Shooting, Wheelchair Basketball and Olympic Park Day Pass sports.
3. A multi-sport Day Pass ticket enables spectators to view several Paralympic sports on the same day, either in the Olympic Park, ExCeL or Royal Artillery Barracks on a general admission first come, first served basis.
These £10 multi-sport Day Passes are a ticket type exclusive to the Paralympic Games.
· An Olympic Park multi-sport Day Pass allows for access to all sports in the Park on a given day other than Athletics, Cycling, Swimming and the finals of some other sports. (So potential access to Goalball, Wheelchair Basketball, Wheelchair Rugby, Wheelchair Tennis, 5 a side Football and 7 a side Football.)
· An ExCeL multi-sport Day Pass allows for access to all ExCeL sports on a given day, other than Sitting Volleyball finals. (So potential access to Tennis, Judo, Sitting Volleyball, Wheelchair Fencing, Powerlifting and Boccia.)
· A Royal Artillery Barracks multi-sport Day Pass allows for access to both Archery and Shooting.
4. Olympic Park non-event tickets will allow access to the Olympic Park on certain days to allow thousands more people access to get closer to the Games.
· These tickets will not allow access to the sports venues.
· There are currently no Olympic Park non-event tickets on sale.
