An extra 60,000 tickets for the 2017 International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) World Championships in London are due to go on sale next week.

Organisers are able to offer extra tickets for previously sold out sessions after gaining an increased capacity license at the Olympic Stadium in London with competition scheduled to take place from August 4 to 13,

This means the most popular events, such as the men’s 100 metres final and heptathlon, will be on sale once again.

The extra tickets will be available from 10am local time on Thursday (June 15) and will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis.

Ticket prices for adults vary between sessions, but all children's admission will cost £9.58 ($12.20/€10.90), with the fee reflecting Usain Bolt's 100m world record.

The Jamaican is currently in his last season as an athlete and he will only be competing in the 100m and 4x100m in London as he targets final global golds.

The men's 100m final on August 5 is the most expensive of the extra tickets costing between £45 ($57/€51) and £155 ($197/€176).

Extra tickets are also available to see Sir Mo Farah, who plans to focus on road racing after the World Championships, competing in the men's 10,000m on August 4.

Tickets for that range from £35 ($44/€39) to £95 ($121/€108).

Britain's rising middle-distance star Laura Muir is emerging as the home athlete to watch after high ticket sales for the women's 1,500m final.

Muir, winner of gold medals in the 1,500 and 3,000m at the European Indoor Championships in Belgrade this year, is seen as one of the leading hopes for a British gold as she seeks to improve on her seventh place at Rio 2016.

The 23-year-old is targeting a 1,500m and 5,000m double.

Extra tickets have been made available for the 1,500m final on August 7 costing between £18.29 ($23.30/€20.80) and £95 ($121/€108).

The lower price is a play on British triple jumper Jonathan Edward's world record mark, which has stood since 1995.

Further British hopes lie in the heptathlon where Katrina Johnson Thompson will be in action on August 5 and 6.

Entry is priced between £20 ($25/€22) and £70 ($89/€79) on that day.

Other events to benefit from a larger allocation include the men's 400m final including South Africa's Olympic champion Wayde van Niekerk on August 8 and the women's 200m on August 11.

Both of those sessions will cost between £35 ($44/€39) and £90 ($121/€108).
