Athletics & Para-Athletics 27 Jul - 1 Aug 2026

Attended the athletics on 7-8 -22 (am) after paying £125 per ticket , we were on the back straight , was most disapointed with our view as couldn't see start or finishes of races as big screens not good enough . If you are going to charge big prices for seats @ least check out the views & improve the big screens . That said organisation on the day was outstanding !!!

Just back from first day of Commonwealth Games athletics. Although we paid £50 each for our seats the view of the events from block 126 was very poor.Everything seemed to be happening on the other side of the arena. Even the large screens had light fittings blocking part of the view! Info screens for the field events were also difficult to see and very confusing when TWO groups were competing in the same event e.g. long jump. Also as several events took place at the same time it was not possible to show every thing we could not see on the large screens.

On the whole we would have been better saving our money and watching it on TV.

This is a great shame as we have attended many events at the Alexander in the past and always enjoyed them. This unfortunately was poorly planned from a spectators point of view made worse because we were allocated seats and so had no chance to obtain the view we would have liked.
