The best way to get hold of them is with this page: http://checker.benmarshinteractive.com/
Enter the names of up to five sessions you're interested in, (you can find all details at http://www.tickets.london2012.com ) and leave the page running in the background with the 'alert' boxes at the top ticked. The clever little bugger scans the site, and when any tickets go on sale gives you the signal. It even tells you which price bands they're available in, so you don't waste your energy chasing £750 seats.
At this stage there are so few left for things like athletics, swimming and cycling that I'd suggest picking out some lesser-known events, you've got a better chance of seats becoming available and a better chance of beating everyone else who's using the tracker to the punch.
* Wimbledon ground passes - just £20 each. The only reserved seating for the tennis tournament is in Centre and Number One courts. With Kim Clijsters, Andy Roddick and the Murray brothers amongst those in action on the outside courts on Saturday's first day of play, you still stand a great chance of seeing some top level tennis with a ground pass.
* Handball - There are thirty group stage sessions over the first ten days of the games, with two matches in each. Tickets start at £20 and because the Handball tournament is held in the Olympic Park, you get access to that for the whole day.
* Canoe Sprint - There's a great chance to see a double British medal success for £35. The short course (200m) sprint finals take place on Saturday 11th, and British boats took silver medals at the last World Championships in the men's K1 and K2 classes. The session code is CF006. There are also British medal prospects on the 7th and 9th August.
I've also seen plenty in the past few days for (amongst others) volleyball, basketball, badminton and boxing.
