The Olympic Games in London may be over a year away, but now is the time to start thinking about getting your hands on some of the most valuable tickets of the year. With tickets available from the 15th March 2011, you will need to be quick to ensure your seat at one of the many games' venues.
With construction well under way, and many venues nearing completion, there is a growing buzz in the atmosphere surrounding the upcoming event. Amongst the new structures erected for the purpose of the games is the Olympic Stadium, the Velodrome, and the Lee Valley White Water Centre. The latter is the first entirely new London 2012 arena to be completed.
The games will kick-off on the 25th July at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, where two of the Women's preliminary football matches will take place. Four further matches will take place on the same day around the country, with two at Coventry Stadium and two at Hampden Park in Glasgow.
Football will dominate the first two days, before the official opening ceremony on the 27th July within the impressive Olympic Stadium. The event continues for 2 weeks, coming to a climactic close on the 12th August.
A total of 10.8 million tickets will be available for the duration of the games. Those looking to secure their ticket to one of the world's greatest sporting events should register their interest as soon as possible. In addition to the tickets themselves, it is also worthwhile giving some serious thought to other aspects such as accommodation and transport.
With thousands of spectators expected to attend the games every day, hotels and transport will be pushed to the limit, so get your Olympic Games arrangements sorted sooner rather than later.
The earlier such arrangements are organised the better, as the demand for hotels in London will be phenomenal for the duration of the London Olympics. Furthermore, getting to and from the capital - and surrounding regions involved in the games - should also be near the top of visitors' to do lists. Although inner city travel will be optimised for the events, getting to the heart of the games is something which should be arranged well before July 2012.
