Important note: Tour operators that have not been appointed by London 2012 or the relevant National Olympic or Paralympic Committee are not entitled to sell Olympic packages, to run promotions around the Games or to use the Olympic branding. A huge crackdown operation is underway, but you should still be very wary of bogus websites and organisations claiming to sell ‘Olympic’ tickets.
