Tickets for the XIX Commonwealth Games 2010 Delhi will be on sale in June 2010. Approximately 1.7 million tickets will be available for opening and closing ceremonies along with 17 events to be held during the games. Tickets are subject to availability, and will remain on sale until the start of each event.

However, the OC is also planning to make the tickets available in more than 50 outlets of Central Bank and Hero Honda within 10-15 days of the launch of ticket sale.

For those hoping to catch the action live at the stadia, the low pricing of tickets is an added incentive. “These tickets will be available till the start of each event,” Kalmadi said.

OC officials refused to reveal the different price slabs for the remaining tickets. However, sources said they would be available in four slabs, with options for group bookings. The ticket prices would also be different for the various sporting events, with the opening and closing ceremonies at a separate price slab altogether.

OC sources said the maximum demand is expected to be for the opening and closing ceremonies.

Tickets will be available at selected retail outlets in Delhi - National Capital Region (NCR) and major metros, and through a dedicated Call Centre. Tickets purchased online are to be redeemed against the real physical ticket from selected retail outlets across Delhi - NCR (list will be published in June).

The ticket-sales program will be launched in June 2010. This will give registered supporters a chance to receive ticketing news and information. Please visit our website regularly (subscribe to our feed) for updates or visit official CWG website.

There will also be free events, including Road Cycling and Marathon. These events will take place at Central Vista (India Gate) and Greater Noida Expressway. The exact location of events and routes for both Road Cycling and Marathon will be published on our website.

Please note that tickets will only be available via official Commonwealth Games 2010 ticket channels and the Games website.
