Around 7.7 million tickets will be on sale for the London 2012 Olympic Games. ExCeL London will be host to 7 Olympic and 6 Paralympic events in 2012. That equates to 80 Olympic and 74 Paralympic medals. The 7 Olympic events that will be taking place are Boxing, Wrestling, Judo, Tae Kwon Do, Weight-lifting, Table Tennis and Fencing. The organisers’ intention is that a “2012 legacy” will be delivered. Some of the new facilities will be reused in their Olympic form, while others, including the 80,000 seater main stadium, will be reduced in size and several will be relocated elsewhere in the UK. The plans are part of the regeneration of Stratford in east London which will be the site of the Olympic Park, and of the neighbouring Lower Lea Valley.
