| London 2012 Olympic Ticket Interest Passes Two-Million Mark |
 Interest in tickets for London 2012 is at two million and counting and LOCOG CEO Paul Deighton called the interest in tickets "mind-blowing". Deighton announced the Games milestone Saturday, adding that he expects another half-million to register before sales begin in March.
The figures come despite LOCOG's failure to deliver on a 2004 bid promise that tickets would start at 15 pounds ($23). The pricing plan unveiled in October has 2.5 million tickets at 20 pounds ($31) but more than 800,000 at over $160, including the most expensive at $1,115 for the men's 100m track and field final. "Through all we have actually done, I think that we are pretty much on the money," Deighton said. Interested parties can register here to receive ticketing updates via email.
