The London Olympic Committee have confirmed that tickets for the London Olympics will go on sale from March 15th.
Over 6.6 million tickets for every event will go on sale from the 15th March via the official London 2012 tickets web site although pre-registration for the tickets is currently possible and recommended. The registration will be closed on Tuesday 26th April 2011.
The tickets will not be sold on a first come first served basis, presumably to prevent a complete crash of the web site. Any over-subscribed events will have their tickets allocated via a ballot system.
Paralympic Games tickets will go on sale from Friday 9 September 2011, with more details to appear later.
One important note – since Visa are sponsoring the games, you can only use a Visa card to buy tickets and for any card purchases around the Olympic Games venues (cash is also an option). For those without a Visa card, you’ll need to purchase a Pre-pay Visa card.
