The chair person of the 2012 London Olympics, Lord Seb Coe and the Lord Mayor of London, Boris Johnson reminded schools headmasters in London that there were 125,000 free tickets available for London school children, but that they had to be applied for.

That means that about one-in-eight London school children will get free tickets for London /Olympic Games or one sort or another - the Olympics or the Paralympics. There are another 50,000 free tickets for school kids living outside London.

The Ticketshare initiative for school kids is funded by a levy on hospitality packages sold by Prestige Hospitality, so they will not be a drag on the resources and profits of the London Olympics and Paralympics.

At the time of writing 18,000 schools have shown an interest in free tickets for seats at London Olympics Games events, but that is not the end of the process. Those that have already applied will have been sent details on what to do next and they are urged to get on with the application as soon as possible.
