Tickets for Glasgow’s upcoming Commonwealth Games are set to go on sale, with Glaswegians getting first access to them. Glasgow will host the event for the second time in 12 years, with over 3,000 of the world’s top athletes from 74 nations and territories set to descend on the city next summer. It comes after the original 2026 host, Victoria, in Australia, pulled out for financial reasons. Around 500,000 tickets are up for grabs, people who pre-registered and have G postcodes will be able to get tickets from Tuesday at 12pm. Those living elsewhere in Scotland will then have a chance to book tickets before pre-sale access is opened to sports fans elsewhere in the UK and around the world. The games, which will run from July 23 until August 2 next year, will take place across four venues – Scotstoun Stadium, the Scottish Event Campus (SEC), the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome and Arena and Tollcross International Swimming Centre. How to get tickets The first phase of pre-sales will open to people in the Glasgow area with G postcodes on Tuesday at 12pm until 9am on Friday. The second phase will be open to anyone with a Scottish postcode and will give them access from noon on Friday October 24, with the pre-sale two phase closing at 9am on Monday October 27. This is followed by an exclusive final pre-sale for the rest of the UK and fans worldwide who have registered with a Glasgow 2026 account. Anyone registered from across the UK and overseas will be able to book tickets from noon on Monday October 27, with the pre-sale concluding at noon on Wednesday October 29. The full general public ticket on sale will then open on Thursday October 30. How much are Commonwealth Games 2026 tickets? Ticket prices will start at £26 for medal sessions and £17 for non-medal sessions, with concession tickets available from £12.
