Opportunity for Newham
residents to experience the Olympic Park!
The London Organising Committee
of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) and the Mayor of Newham
have jointly announced a further opportunity for residents in the
six east London Host Boroughs to experience the Olympic
Games.
"I'm pleased to announce we have secured exclusive tickets
for the Olympic Park for local residents to purchase," said
Sir Robin Wales the Mayor of
Newham.
"The tickets will allow you to experience the atmosphere of the
Park during the Games, watch live sporting action on the Live Site
big screen and enjoy the waterways and parklands. The ticket will
also enable you to buy tickets to the Orbit for the day you wish to
visit the Park.
"Numbers are limited so Newham residents should act
fast."
How to get tickets
There are over 1,500 tickets available to Newham residents to visit
the Olympic Park.
Tickets are available for morning and evening sessions during the
first week of the Olympic Games. There are an equal number of
tickets per session and these will be sold on a first come first
served basis. The tickets do not allow access to any venue within
the Park, though tickets for the Orbit can be purchased
separately.
Please note: The ticket offer is no longer
available.
Newham residents can also enjoy
FREE live action from the Olympic and Paralympic Games on giant
screens at Central Park and Stratford Park between 27 July - 12
August and 29 August - 9 September. These events brought to you by
Newham Council, will also include weekends of children's
activities, live music, sports, games and entertainment.
