Applications for London 2012 Olympic Games tickets opened today and you can sense the hysteria that will descend upon the nation as the magic of the Olympics gets ever closer. You can apply for tickets at anytime before 11.59pm on 26th April 2011 so no need to hurry as they are not allocated on a first served basis. Once you've selected what you fancy sit back, cross your fingers and revel in the mystery of the ballot whilst hoping you get an email saying you've successfully got tickets to your favourite event. Big hype sessions: Athletics on Sunday 5th August (Bolt), Cycling on Monday 6th August (Hoy) and Diving on Saturday 11th August (Daley).
