Olympic Tickets Eligible For Resale

People who purchased Olympic or Paralympic Games tickets have the chance to resell them at face value.

Tickets can be submitted for resale starting today until 3 February.

As soon as customers submit their selected tickets, they will become null and void and removed from their account.

Only tickets bought before 6 January are eligible and only one session can be selected at a time.

People who wish to use this service must sign in to their account and agree with the terms and conditions.

If customers submit all the tickets within their account for resale, and they all sell, they will be refunded their delivery charges.
