Ticket information for next year's event was revealed last month, alongside full details of the 286 sessions of sport.

Organisers confirmed that the starting £22 ($30/€26) price for adults will include every medal session and the Opening and Closing Ceremonies.

Under-16 tickets will start at just £8 ($11/€9) for some events, while the cheapest adult tickets will be £15 ($21/€17).

Tickets will be available in a West Midlands ballot, which will run from July 14 to 30.

Successful applicants will be notified in August, ahead of the main ticket ballot launching in September.

Organisers have billed the multi-sport event as the "Games for Everyone".

Huddleston welcomed the local ballot during a House of Commons Delegated Legislation Committee meeting.

"I am delighted that West Midlands residents will have the first opportunity to apply for tickets through a West Midlands ballot in July, before a main ballot in September,” he said.

"Hosting the Games will bring a wealth of opportunities for people across the West Midlands and the UK including through cultural engagement, business, trade, volunteering, physical activity, jobs, education and tourism.

"The Games offer a massive opportunity for the region, and will play a key part in supporting its economic recovery."

Huddleston added that tickets were protected by law, which will prevent ticket scalping.

"Measures in the Birmingham Commonwealth Games Act, which gained Royal Assent in June 2020, include those that restrict the resale of the games tickets and prevent unauthorised advertising and trading in and around specific Games locations," Huddleston said.

"They also include those that ensure that tickets to the games remain accessible and affordable, that the rights of commercial sponsors are protected, and that spectators can easily and safely move to and from the Games locations.

"To ensure swift action against breaches, the Act provides a suite of enforcement powers that build on those available under the Consumer Rights Act 2015."

Birmingham 2022 is scheduled between July 28 and August 8 next year.

Birmingham 2022 boasts the biggest sport programme ever seen at a Commonwealth Games.

Around 4,500 athletes are expected to compete across 19 sports during the 11-day event.

Huddleston said the Games will provide "huge experience" for young people in the West Midlands, many of whom are likely to participate in the volunteer programme.

The Games was also labelled as an opportunity for the city and the people of Birmingham.

Huddleston said that the Games remained "on track and on budget", despite "significant delivery challenges" caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
