LONDON OLYMPIC TICKET

The facts all about the London 2012 Olympic bid. There are stages on how the ticketing registration process.

pre-registration period
- began in March and the Locog (London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games) has been busy collating all of the information to establish an idea of which sports are proving the most popular, and for which demographics.

By registering, prospective spectators provide Locog with information about the events that they might like to purchase when the tickets become available. They also provide basic details, which will then be used as the first stage of the ticketing ballot system when it is released in 2011.
  • There will be 9.6million tickets for sale - 8million for the Olympics and 1.6million for the Paralympics.
  • Organisers say 75 per cent of all tickets will cost less than £50 and offer free travel on London transport.
  • Tickets for the athletics will start at £15 and there will be 20,000 £10 tickets for the Olympic Park to watch events on big screens.
Research of the initial registration process has shown track and field, swimming and gymnastics are the top three sports that the British public want to purchase.
Opening and closing ceremonies, track cycling, swimming and weightlifting will be the hardest to get, mainly because these sports are played in smaller sized venues and the ceremonies are always in extremely high demand.
For all of the sessions that are over-subscribed – and these are expected to include swimming and diving, beach volleyball, boxing, tennis, track and field finals, gymnastics, track cycling – there will be a ballot.
