The process for Olympic Games tickets will open for six weeks. Applications will close on April 26 and all oversubscribed sessions will be allocated via a ballot process.

Applications can be made at any point during the six week application period - it is not a first come, first served process.

LOCOG will announce full details of the purchasing process and the finalised schedule for all 650 sport sessions in February. The two million people who have already signed up to the London 2012 ticketing database - www.tickets.london2012.com will receive all the information about how to apply and those who have registered will be able to use their existing log-in details to access the application process.

Further details of the application process for Paralympic tickets will be announced later this year, with prices announced in May.
