Glasgow 2026 today (2 June) hosts a giant game of musical chairs in Glasgow city centre to encourage fans to grab a seat in the final ticket drop for this summer’s biggest sporting event in the UK.

St Enoch Square will be taken over with party tunes and 26 colourful seats with passers-by invited to race to grab a seat to be in with a chance of winning prizes. Rounds of musical chairs will be hosted by the Games mascot Finnie and the Unicorn Dance Collective who will be part of the Games Festival programme.

The Commonwealth Games will return to Glasgow next month with 3,000 of the world’s best athletes, from 74 nations and territories competing in an 11 day celebration of sport from 23 July to 2 August.

Fans who have not yet secured their seat to watch the Games unfold across the four iconic venues, now have one last opportunity to be part of the action. The final ticket drop goes live at 12:00 on Tuesday 2 June with tickets available across all 10 exhilarating sports.

To mark the final ticket release, Glasgow 2026 is bringing a burst of colour and energy to the city centre from 11:30 – 13.30 in St Enoch Square, with the chance to win Glasgow 2026 merchandise and tickets to sports including Athletics and Para Athletics, Bowls and Para Bowls and Weightlifting. But fans have to be fast as the seats will be snapped up quickly.

Tickets for Glasgow 2026 start from £12 for concessions and £17 for adults, offering an affordable way for families, friends and sports fans to enjoy world-class competition in Glasgow this summer. With limited seats remaining and high demand expected, the final ticket drop is a now-or-never moment for spectators across Scotland and beyond.

Finnie, the Official Glasgow 2026 Mascot, said: “Hey Glasgow, I’m saving you a seat, but you’ll have to be quick! The Games are almost here and this is your final chance to get tickets to the Commonwealth Games this summer.

“I can’t wait to see the stands full, the crowds cheering and the whole city coming alive for a magical summer of sport and celebration. Don’t miss out, grab your seat and I’ll see you at the Games.”
