Approximately 50,000 tickets are available following the finalisation of more venue seating plans.

These include tickets for archery at Lord's, beach volleyball at Horse Guards Parade, taekwondo and volleyball at ExCel, as well as a number of suite tickets at the North Greenwich Arena, where gymnastics artistic, trampoline and basketball are available.

Based on the high demand for tickets from the public, particularly for gymnastics, London 2012 has made a number of seats within hospitality suites available at the North Greenwich Arena for the public to buy tickets to watch basketball, gymnastics artistic, and trampoline.

But the seats do not include any hospitality. 

Tickets can be purchased at www.tickets.london2012.com on a first come, first served basis.

London 2012 have advised people still seeking tickets to check its website on a regular basis as they release them via the resale platform and put further contingecy tickets onto the market. 

"More great tickets to watch Olympic sport have gone on sale today," said Chris Townsend, the London 2012 commercial director.

"Further tickets will be released on an almost daily basis from now until Games time.

"We encourage anyone interested in buying tickets to visit the ticketing website regularly to check the latest ticket availability."
