    Unfortunately there are only limited numbers available. I put my order in last September and picked up 4 Track Cycling and a Swimming ticket

    There are day-pass tickets that give access to a number of events in the Olympic Park, but at £10 I believe they have sold out (I managed to pick up a couple though). There may still be some left for the Excel Arena though

    Ticket applications can be made here

    http://www.os-site-tracker.com/examples.php is a useful site to keep an eye on; it updates when tickets for specific sports become available on the Paralympic website.


    A little off-topic, but the following is a discovery I made while in the Olympic Park which should be of benefit to anyone going to the Paralympics:

    The airport-style security does not permit people to bring liquids into venues with them, and with the rip-off prices being charged for soft drinks (£2.30 for a 500ml bottle of Coke/Sprite/Fanta), there are 2 simple ways to avoid paying it, or at least not paying as much:

    1. Go to the huge McDonald's outlet and order a medium (400ml) soft drink for just 99p!
    2. Bring a few empty bottles with you and fill them at the taps located around the Park.
