GAMES of the XXX OLYMPIAD

1908 LONDON OLYMPIC
 

The 2012 Summer Olympic Games, officially known as the Games of the XXX Olympiad or "London 2012 Olympic Games", are scheduled to take place in London, England, United Kingdom from 27 July to 12 August 2012. London will become the first city to officially host the modern Olympic Games three times, having previously done so in 1908 and in 1948.

London was selected as the host city on 6 July 2005 during the 117th IOC Session in Singapore, defeating Moscow, New York City, Madrid and Paris after four rounds of voting. The successful bid was headed by former Olympic champion Sebastian Coe.

The Olympics prompted a redevelopment of many of the areas of London in which the games are to be held  particularly themed towards sustainability. While the budgetary considerations have generated some criticism, the Games will make use of many venues which were already in place before the bid, including Wembley Stadium, Wembley Arena, Wimbledon All England Club, Lord's Cricket Ground, The O2 Arena, Earls Court Exhibition Centre, Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy, and the Excel Centre.

1948 LONDON OLYMPIC
 

According to the original budget for the 2012 London Olympics, preparations for the event were set to cost approximately £2.4 billion. Later, this figure was revised to £3.3 billion. Yet even this new total will likely increase significantly. According to recent BBC reports, the true cost of the olympics will be closer to £9 billion, or almost four times more than the figure noted in the initial budget. The 2012 organizing committee has yet to confirm this new figure, but organizers did not rule out the possibility that costs will increase. The cost of construction, however, has already gone up and could total over £3 billion on its own. Security related expenses are now also expected to top £900 million. An additional "contingency fund" amounting to £2 billion is also part of the budget.

We expect 205 nations to take part in 300 events at the Olympic Games in 2012. 147 nations will take part in the Paralympic Games.

London 2012 ticket buyers have to put on the line to stand even a 50:50 chance of getting at least one ticket are to be believed, at least £1,000. A lot of us are willing to splash the cash: the typical order was £1,160 for around 21 tickets.

This might have been just as well: almost two-thirds of those who placed an order of £250 or less walked away with nothing – but are eligible for first go in round two. This fell to just under half of those with £1,000+ orders leaving empty-handed, and just one in seven people who placed an order of over £5,000 left with nothing. The full breakdown, with exact chances of getting tickets is listed below:

Still, anyone feeling aggrieved they missed out can be reassured there's still tickets to be grabbed from London 2012, through the official hospitality website. Tickets start at £325 per person for paralympic cycling and swimming, rising to £4,500 for the opening ceremony. Oh, and the minimum order's 10 tickets.
