Update on London Games Tickets
Individual Tickets sales are closed after an initial request phase and a second phase of “a first come first served basis” orders. More than 35,000 tickets were requested by Canadians for an available 14,000 tickets.
CoSport, the COC’s official ticket supplier, and the COC will continue to work with the London Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games (LOCOG) in an effort to secure more tickets. If CoSport receives any additional ticket allocations, they will be offered in a subsequent sale phase. Customers should register on the CoSport website to receive updates about any future sale phases/opportunities.
LOCOG Family and Friends Ticketing Program
LOCOG is offering a special Family and Friends Ticketing Program. This is a first for an Olympic Games and means that each athlete who qualifies for London will have the option to purchase two tickets to every session in which they are competing (Exception: Aquatics – Swimming athletes will have access to one ticket per session). The program will be rolled out starting in April 2012. Further details will follow at that time.
Contact family&friends@olympic.ca or your National Sport Federation (Links and Resources) if you have any questions regarding Olympic Tickets.
