Tickets go on sale as Usain Bolt, Mo Farah and Co return for the London 2017 Athletics World Championships
More than 100,000 tickets went on sale today for next year’s IAAF World Championships in London at the former Olympic Stadium.
Already half a million tickets have been sold for the event, which runs from August 5-13, and the latest batch are available on a first come, first served basis.
Tickets are still available for all sessions, including Usain Bolt in the 100m final and Mo Farah in the 10,000m final, starting at £20 for adults and £9.58 for children, a nod to Bolt’s world record time for the 100m.
Dina Asher-Smith will be among the star attractions from a British perspective and the 2016 Olympic 4x100m relay bronze medallist told Standard Sport: “It’s difficult to talk about ambitions for the World Championships as first you need to get there — and that’s hard with the fast times the girls are running right now. But even if I don’t make it as an athlete, I’ll make sure I’ll get a ticket.”
