Tickets for the 2012 Olympic Games have gone on sale online, with sessions priced between £20 (212 yuan) and £2,012 (21,000 yuan).
Children under 17 will be able to '[b]pay-your-age[/b]' on some events and there are special [b]concessions[/b] for old people too.
The new [b]ticketing[/b] website for residents of the UK and some European nations is not run [b]on a first-come, first-served basis[/b]. Visitors have until 26 April to apply for tickets, after which time all applications will be treated equally.[b]Oversubscribed[/b] events will be decided by a [b]ballot[/b]. On the UK site, there is no [b]upfront cost[/b], but money will be [b]debited from[/b] Visa cards in May and June.
Lord Coe, the chairman of London 2012, thinks the Games will be[b] a [/b][b]sell-out[/b].
Fewer than twenty-five per cent of the tickets are being reserved for fans outside Europe, which can be bought from specially-appointed organisations.
In an effort to stop [b]ticket touting[/b], the British government plan to raise the maximum penalty from £5,000 (53,000 yuan) to £20,000 (212,000 yuan).
However, there are likely to be many online [b]scams[/b], so before you [b]part with[/b] your [b]hard-earned cash[/b], check that you are buying tickets from your country's authorised [b]vendor[/b].
