Ticket sale date for Berlin link-up sport spectacular
PREPARATION for a sporting spectacular has taken another step forward as tickets go on sale next month.
The Glasgow 2018 European Championships will see 84 sessions take place in 12 venues across the city, watched by thousands of spectators.
Organisers announced the launch date for tickets via an interactive light show at the SECC yesterday.
They are to go on general sale on June 14, with planners hoping to make the event “inclusive and accessible” with prices starting at £10, and under 16s tickets for £5.
Those eager to beat the frenzy next month will be able to access pre-sale tickets by signing up for priority access through the Glasgow 2018 website.
Glasgow 2018 Championships Director Colin Hartley said: “The moment is coming. The European Championships promises to be one of the most memorable sporting and cultural events this country has ever experienced and we want as many people as possible to come to Glasgow and Scotland to join us on this historic journey.
“Our fair and competitive pricing structure, combined with a number of high-profile free events and an exciting cultural programme, will ensure that everyone feels part of this momentous occasion and can enjoy the sport and culture and also sample our fantastic tourism offer.
“Our crowds are internationally renowned as some of the most passionate and welcoming in the world and I have no doubts that the Glasgow 2018 European Championships will serve to strengthen that reputation to a global audience.
“We aim to put on a truly remarkable sporting event and the fans will play an important role in ensuring the first ever European Championships is a success.”
The sporting spectacular will see more than 3,000 of the world’s best athletes descend on the city between August 2- 18, 2018.
Over 11 days, Glasgow and Berlin will both be hosting events to form the overall European Championships – a combination of the existing European Championships for Aquatics, Cycling, Gymnastics, Rowing and Triathlon and a new Golf Team Championships.
