SPORTS fans found out today if they have got tickets to the London 2012 Olympic Games.

A total of 1.8million people applied for 20million tickets even though only 6.6million went on sale in Britain.

This has resulted in over-subscriptions for more than 50 per cent of the 650 sessions, which has triggered computerised ballots.

It comes as one man, Stephen Hunt, who applied for £36,000 worth of tickets, has won £11,000 worth.

A London 2012 spokesman said credit card payments were due to be taken out last night but were working towards a June 10 deadline to collect all payments.

Even then, would-be buyers will be told what they have successfully won by June 24.

The spokesman said: "Applicants who have been unsuccessful and have got nothing in the first round will get priority in the second round.

"The reality is that many people will not be lucky the first time around but they will get priority for the second round.

"There have been 20 million applications for tickets and many events have been oversubscribed, so there will be some people who will not get any in the first round but they will get something in the second round."
