You’ve signed up and set a reminder for tickets going on sale on 15 March and you’ve read the warnings from Diamond Geezer about just how that ballot’s going to work. Now you can sharpen your pencil and get out your calculator because the Olympic competition schedule and ticket prices for events have been released.

The premium crowd puller at premium price is the 100m men’s final day on 5 August. We hope we’ll catch Rebecca Addlington defending her 400m and 800m freestyle titles on 29 July and 3 August respectively. And as the BBC point out, the middle weekend will be “unmissable with British trio Jessica Ennis, Christine Ohuruogu and Paula Radcliffe set to be going for gold.”

You can download the entire schedule as a PDF with sporting events listed alphabetically.

    ” the middle weekend will be “unmissable with British trio Jessica Ennis, Christine Ohuruogu and Paula Radcliffe set to be going for gold.””

    I suppose it’s too much to hope that the national broadcaster will drop their dreary ‘Team GB’ jingoistic tub-thumping for this of all Olympics.

    I’d be interested to know what people’s ticketing strategies are going to be. Try for a spread and hope you don’t get them all? Focus on one event and risk losing out? Target less popular events and days just to experience the Olympics?

    Also – does anyone know whether access to the Olympic Park will be ticketed, paid or not? The schedule release page mentions it in passing. I was pretty much going to bypass the actual events – the ballot seems like too much of a headache to work out – and hang out in the Park and soak up the atmosphere that way. But if even that won’t be open access, I don’t know.
