Birmingham Commonwealth Games: Can I still get tickets?

More than a million tickets have been sold for the Commonwealth Games - but there is still a chance to get a spot at certain events with less than two weeks to go.

The Games, which are hosted in Birmingham but will see events held across the West Midlands, open on 28 July and run until 8 August.
