How to watch the Olympic Games for free and more...

As today is the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, it got me thinking about how to get tickets for the 2012 Olympics in London.

Tickets won't actually go on sale until 2011, so it's a bit early really, but best to be prepared.

Whilst researching tickets for the 2012 Olympics, I actually found out that it's possible to see some of the events for free (and I don't mean by watching them on the TV, I mean live).

The following events will take place on the streets of London and are completely free for spectators to watch:
- road cycling
- triathlon
- marathon.

Also, if you buy a ticket for an event, then the ticket will include free public transport throughout London on the day of that event.  Let's just hope the DLR, buses, trains and tubes are up to it!
