LOCOG Athlete Family and Friends Program
Traditional methods used in the past for athletes to purchase tickets for their family and friends were based on the AOC sourcing tickets.
For London, LOCOG has set up a new ‘Athlete Family and Friends program’ which is aiming to deliver a service that gives each athlete the opportunity to purchase two tickets in which they are competing (with the exception of preliminary sessions in Swimming and Athletics where only one ticket may be offered because of the high number of participating athletes). LOCOCG will hold back 70,000 tickets for sale at a very late sale for this program. The sale and distribution of these tickets will be done though CoSport Australia in conjunction with LOCOG.
Tickets from this program will be made available at the time of selection and/or draws for all ticketed Games session. This will start with the first sport qualification/draw and continue through the entire games, to include tickets to quarter-finals, semi finals and finals, should you progress to this stage of competition.
The Athlete Family and Friends Program will launch in early 2012. More information about this program will be distributed to prospective Team Members as it becomes available from LOCOG.
