Sir Philip Craven, President of the International Paralympic Committee said: ‘To have sold the most ever tickets for a Paralympic Games three weeks before the Opening Ceremony shows the insatiable appetite the public has for top class elite sport.
‘So far London has delivered a quite spectacular Olympic Games which has further whetted the appetite of the public ahead of the Paralympics’
