Last week the Rio 2016's organising committee said it would put tickets on sale every Thursday at midday for events that were previously unavailable. Ticket prices start at around $30 for volleyball and $15 for beach volleyball.
Tickets in all price categories are being released for Brazilian residents on the Rio 2016 website. Fans residing outside of Brazil may buy tickets from authorised resellers in their countries. Some 1.2 million tickets will be made available in the coming weeks as seating plans for venues are confirmed.
