AN extra 60 000 tickets, including those for the men’s 100-metre final in London at the 2017 International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) World Championships in London, are due to go on sale this week.
The extra tickets became available after organisers are able to offer extra tickets for previously sold-out sessions after organisers were granted an increased capacity licence at the Olympic Stadium in London with competition scheduled to take place from August 4 to 13.
Tickets for popular events like the men’s 100 metres final and heptathlon, will go on sale once again.
The extra tickets will be available from Thursday, June 15 and will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Ticket prices for adults vary between sessions, but all children’s admission will cost £9.58 with the fee reflecting Usain Bolt’s 100m world record.
The Jamaican is currently in his last season as an athlete and he will only be competing in the 100m and 4x100m in London as he targets final global golds.
The men’s 100m final on August 5 is the most expensive of the extra tickets costing between £45 and £155.
Extra tickets are also available to see Sir Mo Farah, who plans to focus on road racing after the World Championships, competing in the men’s 10 000m on August 4. (Sportsmax)
