Tickets for the London 2012 Olympics have gone on sale, 500 days ahead of the event.



Some $6.6 million tickets are available from the London 2012 website over a six-week period and organisers say all applications will be treated equally.



Prices range from 20 pounds to 2012 pounds and oversubscribed events will be decided by a ballot.



The ticket website initially failed to process the orders of people whose Visa card expires before August.



Half a billion pounds is forecast to be raised from ticket sales.
