Top athletes Denise Lewis and Tanni Grey-Thompson launched the ticket sales programme in front of a packed press conference at the Manchester Velodrome. Manchester United’s Roy Keane joined Shaun Goater and Dennis Tueart from Manchester City to give their local support on a panel headed by Neils deVos, Commercial Director of Manchester 2002.

Keane commented, "It's really good that the people of Manchester will be able to see top class sport at such low prices."

Half the tickets for the Manchester 2002 Games are priced at £10 or less, making the event the ‘affordable games’. Ticket prices start from £5 for sporting events and from £21 for the Opening and Closing Ceremonies. There will be no booking fees or postage and handling charges on any tickets.
