Tickets to the Games

Celebrating inspirational people in our communities

The Council rewarded local community champions and residents with free tickets for the Olympic and Paralympic Games.  Many of those who received tickets had been nominated by people in the community for their sporting achievements or the efforts they have made to help others in Kensington and Chelsea.

As one of London’s 33 boroughs given the opportunity to buy tickets for both Games, the Royal Borough purchased 50 pairs of tickets for each of the Games, at a cost of £10,341.67 for Olympic Games tickets and £3,533.33 for Paralympic Games tickets.
