LONDON (AP) — Olympic organizers are inviting the British public to register interest in buying tickets for the 2012 London Games.
London organizers announced plans Monday for the 10 million tickets on offer for the Olympics and Paralympics.
More tickets will go on sale than originally planned — 8 million for the Olympics, compared to 7.7 million, and 2 million for the Paralympics, up from 1.5 million.
The British public can sign up on London’s Web site (www.tickets.london2012.com) to indicate which sports they would be interested in seeing. They will be among the first to find out when tickets go on sale in the spring of 2011 and how to apply.
Organizers said 75 percent of tickets will be sold directly to the public via a ballot process.
