The pledge was made as the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) completed its second Coordination Commission visit to the city.

The success of Glasgow 2014 has set the bar high for the next organisers but Nigel Chamier, chairman of Gold Coast 2018, claimed they were not daunted and history showed that the Australian public have an appetite for attending major events.

The last time Australia hosted the Commonwealth Games, at Melbourne in 2006, more than two million spectators attended the events. 

"Look, it's too early to say but I think the Glasgow model wasn't much more than going to the movies for a family to attend some events," said Chamier.

"I am not talking about the Opening and Closing Ceremonies...I think it was something like £7.50 ($12/€9.50) for a child to go and see some events, at the end of the day the reality is you would much prefer to have every seat full.

"We as Australians will rise to the occasion and if you look back to '82...the Commonwealth Games [in Brisbane], just about every seat was filled, if you look at the Sydney [2000] Olympics.

"I am sure when the time comes we will have a pricing policy that will allow us to have maximum participation."

The CGF Coordination Commission had been timed to follow on from the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games Debrief held in the Gold Coast last week.

The Debrief enabled the experiences and recommendations from the Glasgow 2014 Games organisers to be passed on to Gold Coast 2018, the City of Gold Coast and the Queensland and Australian Governments.

Bruce Robertson, head of the CGF Coordination Commission, which includes David Grevemberg, chief executive of Glasgow 2014, claimed that they were pleased with the progress being made by organisers.

"The Coordination Commission is impressed with the venue and infrastructure developments," he said.

"All is well in hand under the expert control of the State Government in partnership with the City of Gold Coast.

"We also recognise the recent funding commitment of the Federal Government.

"Highlights of recent achievements are the opening of the Gold Coast Aquatic Centre and the commencement of site works for the Parklands Development that will host the Games Village.

"The legacy plans of all Games delivery partners are taking shape and the CGF is encouraging activation which will cause positive impact for the local community before, during and well after the Games."
