Tickets for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games go on sale in 2011.

Sphere: Related Content 7.7 million tickets will be available for the Olympic Games, with another 1.5m for the Paralympic Games.

Tickets for both events will go on sale from 2011 and, subject to availability, remain on sale until the start of every event.

Details of how to purchase tickets will be announced nearer the time.

We aim to give as many people as possible the chance to attend the Games – ensuring a great atmosphere for all the events.

To achieve this, our tickets will be priced fairly. London will aim to repeat the success of the Manchester Commonwealth Games, where 90 per cent of seats were sold.

Each ticket will also include free travel on public transport in London for the day of the event, to encourage spectators to use the transport system and take in the festivities throughout the city.

As well as this, there will be free events - including the Road Cycling, Triathlon and Marathon.

These events will take place on the streets of London, where spectators can line the route.

Welcome to the London Olympics 2012!

Newham Classic 10k Run

Tessa Sanderson CBE, Olympic Champion and Newham Ambassador, 9 April 2009

Come and join the Newham Classic 10k Run on Sunday 19 April 2009 in Stratford and help write a new chapter in the sporting history of Newham.

I’m really excited that the 1,000 people who enter the Newham Classic 10 kilometre run will be able to take in great views of the Olympic Stadium.

I have been down at the Olympic Park site this week and it looks amazing. The progress made over the last 12 months is an incredible achievement that, as an ex-athlete, makes me really proud. I'm really keen that the community get the chance to see the site as it progresses, as well as see the huge developments happening in Stratford.

The event is being organised by World Adventure Club and staged alongside a Newham Council Fun Day with other activities in the town centre.

I can't wait until 19 April now. Just to experience that buzz feeling of getting a close-up view of the Olympic Stadium will inspire all runners to feel part of the build-up to what will be a great Games in 2012.

There are a limited number of places still available, and you can enter the run by going to the Newham Classic 10k Run website

Be part of it and join me on Sunday 19 April 2009!
