London: With less than two weeks to go to the London 2012 Paralympic Games, the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) has released a further 45,000 Paralympic tickets for sale alongside the 20,000 tickets currently available for the Paralympic Opening and Closing Ceremonies.

A record 2.2 million tickets have been sold to date, with 2.5 million expected to be made available in total.

“After the nation took the Olympic Games and TeamGB to their hearts in such a spectacular way, it is no surprise that they look set to do the same for ParalympicsGB and the Paralympic Games.  We are working flat out to stage a memorable Paralympic Games and I’m delighted that the enthusiasm and support for our Games from the UK shows no sign of wavering,”  said Seb Coe, LOCOG Chair.

Paralympic tickets are on sale at www.tickets.london2012.com. Prices start at just £10 (£5 for young people and seniors).

The majority of the tickets put on sale today are for Athletics. 25,000 of these have been made available, as well as smaller numbers of Wheelchair Basketball, Track Cycling, Equestrian and Rowing tickets. Athletics ticket prices at the Paralympic Games range from £10 to a top price £45, or just £5 for young people and seniors.

Remaining Paralympic tickets will become available over the coming days as the venue seating plans are finalised over the transition period. In some cases seats can only be made available on a day by day and session by session basis, meaning approximately 100,000 of these tickets will be released during the Games.
