The London 2012 organisers have sent out a round robin reminding everyone that the Olympic Games ticket applications close midnight Tuesday 26 April.  Betting companies have not yet come around to offering odds as to whether the main computer goes down on that day due to overload.  The advice is “book early”.

Before you submit your application, remember there are 26 sports and more than 600 sessions to choose from, with events taking place across the UK.  Why not think about applying for new sports you haven’t experienced before?

You can increase your chances of being allocated tickets by choosing morning sessions or qualifying rounds, and by adding a price range, indicating the lowest and/or highest prices you are willing to pay for tickets to a session.

Applications for Paralympic Games tickets open on 9 September. www.tickets.london2012.com.
