Rio 2016 Paralympic tickets go on sale
Rio de Janeiro: The first batch of tickets for next year’s Paralympic Games has gone on sale for the Brazilian residents, the organisers said.
Some 3.3 million tickets are available for events in 23 disciplines in addition to the opening and closing ceremonies, as per reported quoting Rio2016.com.
The announcement coincides with the one-year milestone until next year’s first Paralympics in South America.
Ticket prices range from 10 Brazilian reais ($2.60) to 1,200 reais ($312). Almost two thirds of the total tickets are 30 reais or less.
Brazilian residents have until September 30 to apply for tickets on the Rio 2016 portal. A draw will be held to decide successful applicants if demand exceeds supply.
Fans from around the world will be able to buy tickets from authorised resellers, whose details will be published by Rio 2016 later this month.
“This is the best moment to acquire tickets to the Paralympic Games,” said Rio 2016 ticketing director Donovan Ferreti.
“We will make about 80 percent of the total tickets available in this phase, and everyone will have an equal chance of getting tickets, no matter which order they arrive in,” Ferreti added.
The tickets will be offered for 315 sessions with each applicant able to request a maximum of 20 sessions.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
