Record Sales for London 2012 Paralympic tickets

London 2012 organisers, LOCOG, has revealed that more than 100,000 people have applied for more than one million tickets to see next year's Paralympic Games that start on 29 August next year.

International Paralympic Committee President Sir Philip Craven said: "The response from the public for Paralympic Games tickets has been phenomenal."

It is the first time in history that sessions at the Paralympics have been oversubscribed and Sir Philip continued: "To have over a million tickets applied for 11 months out from the Games is unprecedented.

"It underlines the growing excitement for what will be a tremendous sporting event and I could not be more thrilled."

There will be a chance to apply for more tickets as in December the remaining tickets will go on sale, on a first-come, first-served basis.

Further contingency tickets for both the Olympics and Paralympics will be sold next spring.
