More London Olympics tickets to go sale!

From 6am tomorrow morning Friday 24th June 2011 you have another chance to buy London Olympics tickets as a second round of sale commence. The tickets will be sold via the official London Olympics website on a first come first served basis until 6pm on 3rd July 2011. The ticket sales are being managed by Ticketmaster. Only those who have not yet been allocated any tickets can apply.

Those who have already been allocated some or all of their tickets will also get a second chance to apply for more from 6am on 8th July until 6pm on 17th July. Again tickets will be sold on a first come first served basis via the official London Olympics website and the process will be managed by Ticketmaster.

Obviously, a lot of the tickets for the top events and ceremonies have already gone and in total 21 events have sold out completely. However there are still 2.3 million tickets available for the second round and there are certainly some gems left. Below are links to the availability of tickets (subject to change of course). Good luck!

The Mayor of London returns 1,000 Olympics tickets

The Mayor of London Boris Johnson who personally missed out on obtaining any tickets to the London Olympics has in his professional capacity returned 1,000 tickets to London Olympic organisers.

The Mayor had been allocated 2,000 tickets, at his request for hospitality purposes but after 1.2 million people missed out on tickets and it was announced that there would be 1.3 million less tickets available the Mayor did the decent thing and streamlined his plans. 

The Mayor claims that there will be no tickets for politicians or indeed for any of his staff as was originally planned. Although by default he will in essence be able to access all areas as part of his official duties. The lucky sausage!

London 2012 Olympics - Did you get a ticket?

Winners are Losers in the Olympic Lottery (The Telegraph)

When Britain landed the Olympics, we were promised that the result would be a surge of interest in sport and healthy living.

All across the country yesterday, those lucky enough to have received Olympic tickets – or rather, to have had mysterious deductions made from their bank accounts – were trying to work out what it meant.

London Olympics Tickets Sales or should we say lottery...

Many people have been left disappointed as demand was far greater than the amount of tickets available so for those who applied obtaining tickets was quite literally a lottery.

However, if you didn't apply for tickets in time or did and were left disappointed the remaining tickets for the London 2012 Olympic Games will become available online and by phone on a first come first served basis from September/October 2011. You can only use Visa to buy the tickets and you will be able to do so directly through the official Olympics website.
