A session is defined as an individual sporting event, or group of individual sporting events, held in close timing to each other at one specific venue, whereby one ticket per person is sold to cover attendance.

A preliminary session is where competitors take part in the preliminary rounds of a sport (sometimes referred to as heats). No medals will be won during these sessions. A medal session is where competitors take part in the classification rounds of a sport. Any combination of gold, silver or bronze medals will be awarded at this stage.

There will be two types of tickets: with value (all regular tickets with different price levels depending on the session and venue) and complimentary tickets (free of charge) for: children under 16 years of age for specific venues/sessions; and spectators with accessibility needs (plus their companion) for specific venues/sessions.
