Organisers are offering a 15 per cent discount for fans who snap up seats for one of the International Gymnastics Federation’s (FIG) flagship events before January 2.

The 47th edition of the competition is due to run from October 2 to 8, with more than 500 gymnasts expected to battle for the 12 world titles on offer.

Adult ticket prices for individual qualification sessions, scheduled to take place on the first three days of the World Championships, range from CAD$13.50 (£8/$10/€9.50) to CAD$29.00 (£17/$22/€20).

Seats in the arena for the men’s all-around final on October 5 start at CAD$42.50 (£25/$32/€30), with the highest ticket priced at CAD$62.00 (£37/$46/€44).

Apparatus finals and the conclusion of the women’s individual all-around will cost between CAD$42.50 and CAD$83.50 (£50/$62/€59) for the best seats in the house.

Seniors - people aged over 65 - and children under the age of 12 will benefit from reduced ticket prices for all sessions.

Organisers of the event are expecting around 50,000 people to attend during the week-long competition, while they are hoping for a worldwide television audience of 660 million people.

Action is set to be held at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal, a venue used when the Canadian city played host to the 1976 Games.

During the 1976 Olympics, Romania’s Nadia Comăneci shot to fame when she famously become the first-ever gymnast to be awarded a perfect 10 score at the Games.

The 55-year-old was announced as the official spokesperson for the 2017 Artistic Gymnastics World Championships last month.

Comăneci left the Montreal 1976 Olympics will three gold medals at the age of 14, having triumphed in the all-round, uneven bars and beam events.

She also secured team silver and floor bronze at the Games, before going on to win a further two Olympic titles and silver medals in Moscow four years later.

Gymnastics was hosted at the Montreal Forum during the Olympics.
