The Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games is coming to the West Midlands next summer, and from 14 to 30 July, people who live in the region can apply for tickets in an exclusive ballot by registering for an account at birmingham2022.com.

There are more than one million tickets available for the Games, with ticket prices starting from £8 for under 16s and from £15 for adults. There will also be £22 tickets available for every session throughout the Games, including all medal sessions and the opening and closing ceremonies.

The Games will include 286 sessions across 19 sports, including eight para sports – and table tennis is in both able-bodied and para categories. The table tennis competition will run on every day of the Games, from July 29 to August 8, 2022. Click here to see the full sports schedule.

The ballot is open to the residents of the West Midlands, as defined by the Office of National Statistics (ONS). This includes people living in Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, West Midlands and Worcestershire. To check eligibility, use the postcode checker at birmingham2022.com/tickets.
