London 2012 Olympics: tickets guide

There are 6.6 million tickets available for sale across 645 sessions for the Olympics in this public ticket offer. Paralympic tickets will go on sale later in the year, so bookmark this Telegraph guide to work out which of the 645 sessions you wish to apply for and which category of seat you can afford.

How do I buy tickets?

You can apply for tickets from between March 15, 2011 to April 26, 2011. Because tickets are not sold on a first-come, first-served basis, the orders can be submitted at any stage during the 42-day period. There is no advantage in applying early.

So what do I do now?

Firstly you need to work out exactly what you want to order, taking into account your budget, the days you might like to focus on and preferred events. We have created a handy interactive tool where you can filter the complex ticketing schedule into days, venues and sports to help make the process easier.
