Tickets for the London 2012 Olympics have gone on sale, 500 days ahead of the event.

Some 6.6 million tickets are available from the London 2012 website over a six-week period and organisers say all applications will be treated equally.

Anyone thinking of going?

I've signed up for the Basketball and Boxing Finals, prices are a bit steep but sure wth.

Applied for athletics, gymnastics and the closing ceremony.  The £20 events only, just in case I get them all!

There was a bucko on the radio this morning from the organising committee advising people to apply and sure if ye get more than ye bargain for, sell the spares to your mates or some such. Can't imagine that working. All the kids prices are for the early rounds as well, no finals or the like.

Would liked to have heard that boy on because, they had to pass a law earlier in the year outlawing the selling on of tickets to anyone.

Big drive to stop ticket touts. So I would say there is a bit of questioning going on at that boyo!

Aye one minute they were on about how many touts they'd nicked already then he was coming out with this guff.

You can only apply if you have a Visa card which it shite in my opinion, I've only got a Mastercard. Think I'll wait til closer to the time and go off and see some random stuff. A bit of archery maybe or weighlifting.

Suppose I might as well go along to it, being only up the train tracks from it.  I doubt I'll ever get near another Olympics again other than by chance as I wouldn't be that bothered travelling far to see it for itself.

Boxing is probably our best bet for Irish involvement.

Women's beach volleyball might be worth a tagging along too.
