t
he London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (Locog) has confirmed that tickets for the London 2012
Olympic Games will go on sale on Tuesday March 15 2011 for six weeks. Applications can be made any time
during the six-week period. There is no need to hover over the keyboard on day one. Locog assures us that there will be no advantage or disadvantage in applying on the first, last or any day in between. Tickets for oversubscribed events will be decided by a ballot . Full details of the purchasing process
and the finalised schedule for all 650 sport sessions will be published this month. The two million people who have already signed up to the London 2012 ticketing database –
www.tickets.london2012.com will
receive information about how to apply and those who have registered will be able to use their existing log-in details to access the application process. Paralympic Games tickets will go on
sale on Friday September 9. Locog chair Sebastian Coe said: “The
Olympic Games is the greatest show on earth and the application process to be part of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity opens on March 15. This is a chance for the UK public to see the world’s greatest athletes going for gold in their home country, to see their favourite Olympic sports close up and perhaps discover a new one. Our message today is simple – mark the date in your diary and sign up to our ticketing site to receive all the information you need to help you with the process.” The March 15 date applies to all
Olympic Games tickets – including UK Games Break packages via official London 2012 supporter Thomas Cook, hospitality packages via Prestige Ticketing, international travel and accommodation packages via Jet Set Sports and globally via each national Olympic Committee or its authorised ticket reseller – where ticket buyers from outside the UK are expected to apply for their tickets. Hockey ticket prices vary from £20 for
preliminary games to £150 for the best final tickets. Discounted tickets for over 60s and ‘pay your age’ tickets for under 16s are available for many matches.
