One-hundred thousand tickets for the 2017 International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) World Championships in London are now back on sale on a first-come, first-served basis.

Tickets for all sessions were available from 10am local time this morning, including the men’s 100 metres final, 200m final, all relay finals and the 10,000m final.

Tickets on sale include all which were not purchased in the initial ballot, as well as those released back for sale due to failed customer payments.

It means a limited number of tickets for the most coveted sessions are once again available.

The Championships, scheduled to take place between August 4 and 13, 2017, at the London 2012 Olympic Stadium in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, is projected to be a sell-out.

Around 3,300 world-class athletes from more than 200 countries will compete in 30 sessions across 20 days as both the World Para-Athletics Championships and the IAAF World Championships are hosted by the same city next summer.

The World Para-Athletics Championships are set to take place just under a month before the IAAF event, between July 14 and 23.

"We are delighted to release the remaining tickets for the IAAF World Championships London 2017 to general sale," said Niels de Vos, the Championship's director.

"More than half a million tickets have already been sold for the Championships but we’re determined to make it a complete sell-out.

"We’ve already sold more than any previous Championships and we know we can recreate those amazing moments from London 2012 once more.


"This is a great opportunity to experience a packed stadium and some amazing sport, and we’re thrilled with the response so far."

It was revealed in September that more than one million tickets were requested for the Championships in August's ballot.

It was confirmed that 486,000 of the 700,000 tickets had been sold.

Five of the 14 sessions were oversubscribed in all four price categories available, with 200,000 tickets requested alone for the third session of competition, which will feature the men’s 100m final.

Of the 14 sessions available, 13 have been balloted in at least one price category, which London 2017 claim shows "huge public demand to watch world class athletics".
