London Olympics Is Fast Approaching
Tickets for the 2012 Olympics won't be available to buy until 2011, nevertheless eager supporters are being urged to reserve somewhere to stay sooner rather than later.
According to the official website, it is surprising London only has 100,000 hotel places available for guests during the games.
10,000,000 Tickets Are Expected To Be Made Available To The Public.
The Games' official website explains that tickets for the Olympic and Paralympics will be made available in 2011. Even though the organising committee has not said exactly when different events will be available for purchase. It is relatively easy to register online for e-mail updates.
In total, approximately 8 million tickets will be available for the Olympic Games, with a further tranche of two million for the Paralympic Games which follows. There is no cut off to obtain tickets for the main events. If they are not sold out then tickets will still be made available until the opening of each competative event. However, you can be sure that for the prestige competitions such as track & field days and the London Olympics closing ceremony, you will have to be very quick to get your tickets.
The same will be true for somewhere for you to stay. Whilst Great Britain's Capital is a major city, it has few rooms by proportion. So you would be advised to also consider London serviced apartments as an option.
More Than Three Thousand Serviced Apartments In London Available
Putting your family in a high standard serviced apartment for your Olympic trip could be a wise choice. Whether you choose a studio apartment, or one of the 1-bedroom or 2-bedroom apartments it allows you to live as if you were at home you get the option to undertake you own cooking and laundry in a relaxed, quality environment.
All of the following locations are convinient for the different Olympic venues across London: Canary Wharf, St George's Wharf, Fleet Street, Holborn and Westminster
