Tickets for the London 2012 Paralympic Games are on sale now! People can apply for tickets between now and 6pm on 26 September 2011. Approximately 2 million tickets will go on sale to the public between now and Games-time, with 1.5 million being available in the first phase.
The London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) published the full Paralympic Games competition schedule and ticket prices last month. There will be over 300 sessions across the 20 Paralympic sports at 20 venues, including those within the Olympic Park, plus ExCeL, Greenwich Park, The Royal Artillery Barracks in Woolwich, North Greenwich Arena, The Mall and, outside London, Brands Hatch, Eton Dorney and Weymouth and Portland.
LOCOG Chair Sebastian Coe commented, ‘The Paralympic Games are coming home in 2012 and I’m confident that the whole country will get behind them. Alongside the Games come a whole range of opportunities. People will have the chance to see sport like never before, with world class athletes who challenge the notion of “disability”; it’s a huge opportunity for Paralympic sport to become part of the nation’s consciousness and finally, it will be a moment of extraordinary pride. A fitting end to what promises to be an amazing summer.’
UK residents can apply at www.tickets.london2012.com at any time during the application period. Ticket prices were announced earlier this year with a wide range of prices and ticket initiatives on offer. Prices start at £10 for adults and £5 for those who are 16 or under and 60 or over on 29 August 2012. Tickets for the Opening and Closing Ceremonies will start at £20.12 with a top end price of £500 for the Opening Ceremony.
Different types of tickets will be available for the Paralympic Games. Tickets to a specific session will guarantee entry to specific sport sessions either on a general admission basis or in reserved seats. Day passes will be available, enabling spectators to see a range of sports taking place in the Olympic Park, ExCeL or The Royal Artillery Barracks on that day on a general admission basis. Tickets for Athletics, Cycling, Swimming and some finals of other sports will be sold on a reserved seating basis only.
Group Organiser tickets will also be available, with group organisers who apply for 20 tickets or more per session and are allocated tickets receiving additional tickets at no extra charge. A group organiser applying for 20 tickets would receive two extra tickets at no extra charge, an application of 30 tickets would revive a total of 33 tickets and so on up to an application for 50 tickets, which would receive 55.
As with the Olympic Games, wheelchair spaces will be available in all price categories for every Paralympic sport, subject to availability and a companion seat is included in the price. Applicants who are deaf, or have a hearing impairment, are visually impaired or have limited mobility can indicate that they have an additional accessibility requirement and every effort will be made to seat them accordingly. LOCOG will also be running the ‘Ticketcare’ scheme which will enable any successful ticket applicant with high dependency care needs to apply for an additional ticket for their carer or Personal Assistant.
