When this is required we will give notification as soon as possible. There may also be times on-site where you are asked to assist in another volunteer area.

Volunteers will have the opportunity to watch the competitions pending on seat availability, we cannot guarantee available seats. We ask the volunteers to remove their accreditation tag and change from their volunteer clothing. If the ticket holder for the seat arrives, we ask the volunteer to quickly and quietly move to a new seat.
