Before the remaining tickets from the first ballot go on general public sale, there will be an exclusive opportunity for all existing applicants to buy any remaining public tickets, which a spokesman for Glasgow 2014 said is expected to total "tens of thousands".

The sale period will run from Monday 21 October to Saturday 26 October, with the first two days dedicated only to those who received no tickets from their application.

From Wednesday 23 October it will be open to those who only received some of their requested tickets. When the first ballot opened in August, 2.3 million requests were made for up to one million tickets.

Ty Speer, deputy chief executive of Glasgow 2014, said: "I’m delighted we’re now able to offer this exclusive on-sale period to those who have already demonstrated their commitment and enthusiasm for Glasgow 2014 through their applications for tickets.

"There is still a wealth of opportunities to experience world-class competition across a wide range of sports. For everyone who wants to be part of the UK’s next big sporting festival this is the best opportunity to secure tickets.

"Over the next few days we will be contacting everyone individually to let them know about this exclusive opportunity and what it means for them as well as thank them for their incredible support of Glasgow 2014 so far."
