Last chance to grab tickets for the Olympics

Early next month one million people who missed out in the Olympic ballots will be given the chance to buy tickets for the Games.

According to Justin King, who is Mayor of London representative for Locog board, during the first part of the process anyone who has previously applied in the first two rounds more than a year ago and still did not get any tickets, will get first bites at  them before they go on public sale.
However, once applicants have been awarded a ticket, they will not be able to re-enter.

The sale will last for a week and seats will be available across all sports.

There are also a million football tickets and 1.5 million Paralympics tickets still unsold. Overall, there are at least 3.5 million tickets still available.

Locog has rejected claims that it had held back seats to stimulate panic-buying. In fact, the last Olympics ticket race will be happening soon as venue capacities have been finally set.

There is a chance specific sports tickets like the athletics ones will be taken by those who have priority access to the final ballot, while only less popular sports tickets will effectively be on general sale.
