Brazilian citizens can buy tickets via the official Rio 2016 website while residents of other countries and regions must go through official ticket resellers in their respective countries and regions.

Tickets for 28 tennis sessions and handball finals were due to go on sale at midday local time on Thursday.

The Rio 2016 Games, the first Olympics to be held in South America, will be held from August 5 to 21.
