Operation Podium aims to combat organised crime around London 2012. It has made 37 arrests in the past six months and is currently running 16 operations. Organisers are working with police to develop a legitimate scheme for people to resell and swap tickets. London 2012 will issue tickets via a ballot in order to avoid an overload on its systems. The 6.6 million genuine tickets for the Olympic and Paralympic Games will go on sale on 15 March, with the application process being open for six weeks.”]
