London - Tickets for the 2012 London Olympics went on sale Tuesday, coinciding with the 500-day countdown to the Games.
Some 6.6 million are available from the London 2012 website over a six-week period, with prices ranging from 20 pounds to 2,012 pounds (32 to 3,200 dollars). Oversubscribed events will be decided by a ballot.
London 2012 organizers are hoping to avoid their website crashing by making tickets available until April 26 rather than on a first come, first serve basis. The Games open on July 27, 2012.
