In Sydney they had some sort of lottery arrangement where you had to nominate how many tickets you wanted and give preferences and then you were notified about what you actually got.
Maybe you guys will get similar?

I suspect most of the tickets will be snapped up by corporate accounts and then offered as prizes by mainstream consumer brands.
Want a chance to be bored to tears watching the Opening Ceremony - just eat 6,000 mars bars and send the wrappers to Slough.

I look at it like this, if you want to sit in the best seat in the stadium to just see the show, then watch it on TV.
If you want the ambiance then try to get in to see live. It's a bit like a concert the sound might be a bit iffy but you go for the experience.

Athens also had the mens marathon on the day of the closing ceremony IIRC, but their marathons finished at the site of the orginal games. They had the medal presentation in the Olympic Stadium as part of the closing ceremony.

I'm looking forward to seeing the website and phone systems crash spectacularly the minute the tickets go on sale next March.

In Sydney, the cheap tickets were the equivalent of 12 pounds so 20 pounds in 2012 seems reasonable.
There didn't seem to be a shortage of the cheap tickets for events like Archery, European Handball and the Football (but I did buy the Football tickets early).
There certainly weren't shortages for tickets for the Paralympics. I even managed to score free tickets to the Paralympic opening ceremony on the proviso that I sat with a bunch of primary school children and pretended to sing along with Kylie.

Speaking on behalf of blokes in general - could you be a bit more precise as to when the ladies' beach volleyball is on.

In 2002 the Rugby Sevens final was held the afternoon of the closing ceremony. Giving an approximately 90 minute window to get the first thousand or so cast on site during the game, then the rest had to be squeezed in between the rugby spectators leaving and the closing ceremony audience arriving.

Er, rugby isn't an Olympic sport, and the only Olympics in 2002 were the Winter Games.
