Olympic and Paralympic tickets available for resale
Unwanted
tickets for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games are
now available for resale.
The resale process allows those who are no longer able to
attend or no longer want their tickets to sell them to other sports
fans and help ensure that venues are full next summer.
Those who purchased tickets from LOCOG are able to choose which
tickets they wish to resell via their ticketing account on the
ticketing website.
Tickets submitted for resale are then being made available
online for other customers to purchase on an ongoing basis. If
sold, the seller will receive the full face value of the
tickets.
If the tickets remain unsold they will be returned to the ticket
holder’s account. A further opportunity for ticket holders to try
and resell any unwanted tickets will open in spring 2012.
LOCOG CEO Paul Deighton said: "This resale programme will give
those who wish to use it an opportunity to securely sell their
tickets to others who wish to go to the Games, or purchase more
tickets and help us to achieve our aim of having full venues."
Remaining tickets for the Olympic Football Tournament and the
Paralympic Games are currently on
sale until 6 February 2012, when the seat allocation process
will begin. Contingency tickets and those not sold by this date
will be made available for sale from spring 2012.
