If you are purchasing on the first day of sale you may not be able to select your specific seat due to the number of people on the ticketing site looking for tickets.
Is there a hospitality package available?
There is currently no hospitality package available for this event.
Are any of the seats at the stadium undercover?
The venue has a roof structure on all stands however those sitting on the lower rows in the stands &/or depending on the wind direction may find that they are not undercover.
All spectators attending the event are advised to check the weather conditions before leaving home and dress appropriately including hats and sun cream should the sun shine!
Where is best to see what events?
One of the best things about coming to an athletics event is that you are never far away from the action, with multiple events happening at the same time and spread around the stadium there is always something to watch.
In the stadium every seat gives you an excellent view of the action.
If you love to watch the fastest athletes on the planet the best seats to choose are in the East Stand.
Want to watch the long and triple jumpers charging down the runway, then choose seats in the West Stand.
If the pole vault is more your thing, then then the South Stand is for you whilst the North Stand offers the best view of the high jump.
For the throw events the North and South Stands offer the best viewpoint.
And of course, not leaving out the endurance races where any seat in the stadium is great to cheer on the athletes as they complete laps of the track.
Please note field event locations are subject to change depending on the wind direction on the day.
What events can I see on each day?

When will I receive my tickets?
All tickets will be emailed to you as a PDF attachment approximately two weeks before the event.
You will need to print out your tickets on plain white A4 paper, ensuring each ticket is on one piece of paper and the barcode is easy to read with no smudging or bleeding. If the barcode is not clear it will stop the ticket from scanning on entry.
I do not have access to a printer, how do I get my ticket?
If you have a friend or relative with a printer, please ask them to print your tickets for you.
Alternatively, open the PDF containing the ticket on your phone and zoom into the barcode area. Present this zoomed in barcode to the steward with the scanner at the access gate and this should scan allowing you access to the event.
Can I resell tickets if I can no longer attend the event?
If you can no longer attend the event, you can pass your tickets on to friends and family.
