The greatest tickets on earth!
15 Mar 2011
As members of the Get Set network, students from Preston Park Primary school in Brent and Friars Primary Foundation school in Southwark were invited to celebrate 500 days to go until the Olympic Games.
Students met Seb Coe, chairman of the London Organising Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games and Boris Johnson, The Mayor of London. They also got to have their pictures taken with Olympians Carl Lewis, Rebecca Adlington and Nadia Comaneci.
Today applications for London 2012 Olympic Games tickets open. You can apply at any time during the six-week period until 26 April 2011 via the London 2012 ticketing website.
There is no advantage to applying early and it is not first come first served. Oversubscribed sessions will be balloted.
Tickets for the London 2012 Paralympic Games go on sale on 9 September 2011.
Members of the Get Set network
Schools and colleges which are members of the Get Set network and participating in the School Games will be able to secure an allocation of London 2012 Ticketshare tickets later this year.
The London 2012 Ticketshare initiative is an exciting new scheme which will see many thousands of children and young people receiving tickets to the Games. A levy on the price of prestige hospitality packages will allow for over 100 000 tickets to be donated to schools in London and the around the UK via the Get Set network and the School Games.
