First priority will be given to the 20,000 people who were unsuccessful in the initial Olympic ballot application and then again unsuccessful when they applied in the second chance sales due to the high demand.  These 20,000 people would have received a notification on 26 June 2011 that their second chance sales application was unsuccessful.   They will be given 31 hours exclusive access to the tickets.

The 1 million people who applied in the initial ballot but were unsuccessful will then have an exclusive 5 day sales period.

All customers will be limited to applying for one session and a maximum of 4 tickets.

Those eligible for the sales will be contacted directly via email by LOCOG today.
