Demand for tickets to see the most popular sports at next year’s Commonwealth Games is already outstripping supply, organisers have said.
Applications have been flooding in for seats at swimming, diving and cycling events since the launch of the ticketing programme on August 19.
Artistic gymnastics, shooting and triathlon are also proving extremely popular, according to a new ticketing guide. Up to one million tickets are available for the Glasgow event and organisers say they are “delighted” with the response from the public so far.
The update on ticketing has been published to guide applicants through the process and outline the best chances of securing a seat.
A draw is likely to take place for the most popular sports due to the high level of demand.
Gordon Arthur, Glasgow 2014’s chief communications officer, said: “As we near the halfway point, we’re really delighted by the volume of applications for tickets already received and the high demand we are seeing across the sports programme.
“Glasgow 2014’s ticketing website has been functioning well and processing requests as quickly as possible, keeping waiting at peak times to a minimum.”
