Fans registered with Glasgow 2026 will gain exclusive access to a pre-sale later this month, but with only 500,000 tickets available – and with tens of thousands already registered – Games fans are warned to act now or risk missing out. Pre-registration closes at 23:59 on 16 October, giving fans just two weeks to secure their spot in the queue. 

With over 3,000 athletes from 74 nations and territories set to compete in a blockbuster sporting programme across 10 sports and six Para sports next summer, Glasgow 2026 has today revealed details of how spectators can secure their seats at the action-packed, new-look Commonwealth Games – with Glasgow communities given first shot at landing the sought-after tickets.  
 
Ticket prices will start at just £26 for medal sessions and £17 for non-medal sessions, with concession tickets available from just £12, when they go on sale in two weeks’ time. 

In a move to bring out a home crowd, Glasgow 2026 has confirmed that fans from across Glasgow and Scotland will be given first access to tickets:

We know the crowd in Scotland will create an electric atmosphere and we can’t wait for everybody to be part of the Games in Glasgow next summer.”
