Duplantis follows Bolt in having special ticket for athletics fans

Pole-vaulter Mondo Duplantis has partnered with UK Athletics to offer discounted 'Mondo Tickets' for children to attend the European Championships in Birmingham, priced at £6.31 — a figure that mirrors his pole vault world record. UK Athletics chief Jack Buckner stated the initiative aims to make the event as accessible as possible during the school holidays. Duplantis follows Usain Bolt, who was the last athlete to have a named ticketing scheme for a UK competition.
