How to purchase accessible tickets

1. Create a ticketing account

Anyone wishing to purchase tickets for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games is required to create a ticketing account. You can complete this online, or contact us for assistance.

As part of the registration process we will ask you to provide more information about your accessibility requirements. Capturing these requirements as part of the registration process will help us to best meet your requirements when you purchase tickets, enable you to select the required price categories and enable us to best suit your requirements when assigning seats.

2. Plan your games

The event takes place over 11 days. Each day is broken down into sessions. Each ticket will provide access to one purchased session.

Ticket prices start from £8 for under 16s and £15 for adults. You will be able to view all prices when you log in.

If you or a member of your party has accessibility requirements, ensure you have selected all the relevant requirements when creating your ticketing account. This will enable you to view the price categories. Accessibility requirements can be updated on the My Account section. If you require any assistance with your application, contact us.

3. Select the sessions and tickets you want to purchase

To purchase tickets, you will need to select the sessions, the number of tickets, and the price of the tickets you would like to purchase. You can purchase for multiple sessions.

  • If you are a Wheelchair User or attending with an Assistance Dog, ensure this is ticked within the accessibility requirements section on the My Account section. Then when purchasing tickets, select ‘Category Accessible’ tickets. This price category is only visible to those who have confirmed in their account that they are a wheelchair user or attending with an Assistance Dog. If you also require a companion, please also select ‘Category Accessible – Companion’. If you wish to purchase additional tickets for other members of your party who are not wheelchair users or attending with an Assistance Dog, you can do so by selecting any of the ‘Category A, B, C etc.’ prices available. We will endeavor to seat any other members of your party as close to you as possible.
  • If you require easy access seating or confirmed that you have a visual or hearing impairment, simply select the ‘Category’ or ‘Category – Under 16’ ticket(s) you wish to purchase. Please note Under 16 tickets can only be purchased with an adult ticket in the same price category.
  • If you require a companion ticket and are not a wheelchair user, please tick the companion box within the accessibility requirements on the My Account page. When purchasing tickets, select the ‘Category – Companion’ option for the price category you have selected. For example, if you have selected a ‘Category B’ or ‘Category B – Under 16’ ticket and require a companion you would also need to add a ‘Category B – Companion’ ticket to your basket.

If you experience any difficulties when purchasing tickets, please refer to our Frequently Asked Questions, or contact us.
