The Commonwealth Games gets under way today (July 28) in Birmingham.
GBR will hope to bring back as many medals as possible, having lost Dina Asher-Smith to a hamstring injury picked up in the World Athletics Championships earlier this week.
More than 1.25 million tickets have now been sold for the sporting event in the Midlands, with the opening ceremony taking place at the city's Alexander Stadium.
The ceremony is expected to have an audience of 30,000 people and a TV viewership of around one billion.
As of July 27, organisers said that 200,000 tickets remain unsold for events at the 15 venues, including Rugby 7s and women’s cricket T20 - both of which take place this weekend.
We take a look at what is still available and how to get ticket.
How to get Commonwealth Games tickets and what can I watch?
Tickets are purchased from the Commonwealth Games website after a fairly straightforward registration.
As of the time of writing, opening ceremony tickets for tonight (July 28) are still on sale, and so are the following sporting events:
- Aquatics diving
- Swimming and Para swimming
- All athletic events including 100m - 1500m finals
- Badminton
- Basketball
- Beach Volleyball (not sure how in Birmingham)
- Boxing
- Cricket
- Track Cycling
- Gymnastics
- Hockey
- Judo
- Lawn Bowles
- Netball
- Squash
- Table Tennis
- Weightlifting
- Wrestling
The dates of the games range from July 29 through to August 7 with the closing ceremony taking place on August 8 and tickets still available for that, too.
How much are Commonwealth Games tickets?
Tickets start from £8 for under 16s and £15 for adults at the Commonwealth games, for all events still on offer.
Depending on events and seat choices some tickets could cost you considerably more.
But there are huge amounts of tickets left for possibly the biggest sporting event to ever take place in the city of Birmingham and one of the biggest sporting events to ever take place in the country over the last decade.
Will there be any free tickets?
Apart from seeing some of the events taking place on the streets of the city centre all events are ticketed. There are no plans to make any un-sold tickets free as of yet.
The organisers of the games expect the tickets will sell out as the days go by, with lots of purchases expected to take place on the day of the events.
If you're looking to make your way to Birmingham to watch an event, be aware there are rail strikes at the moment, with one planned on July 30 that trains to and within the Midlands will be affected by.
