With just three weeks to go to the London 2012 Paralympic Games, the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) has confirmed that a record 2.1 million Paralympic tickets have already now been sold.
With more than 600,000 tickets snapped up in the last month, the total number of tickets sold has now surpassed the previous record of 1.8 million tickets sold in 2008 for the Beijing Games.
Seb Coe the chair of LOCOG said: “We are absolutely delighted with how the British public has responded so far to tickets for the Paralympic Games. The Olympic Games have shown us that the UK has taken the Games to their heart and with the tickets sold so far and more still to come I look forward to even more people getting the chance to join in and to form memories that will last a lifetime.”
Currently there is good availability for sports at ExCeL – including Wheelchair Fencing, Sitting Volleyball, Boccia and Powerlifting.
Remaining Paralympic tickets are available at www.tickets.london2012.com and more will be available online next week.
