London - London 2012 organisers have announced that two million people have registered for tickets to the Olympics.
When tickets go on sale in March, 8.8 million seats will be available at prices ranging from 20 pounds (R 207) for standard events to a symbolic 2,012 pounds (R 20 909) for the top-priced seats at the opening ceremony.
Organisers are trying to raise about 440 million pounds (R4,57 billion) from ticket sales, a quarter of their operating budget.
London 2012 chief executive Paul Deighton says data from the two million registered people so far shows that "by and large more females than males" have signed up and many are opting to try to see several events.
Deighton expects another 500,000 people to have registered an interest in buying tickets by March.
