London Olympics 2012: Giving Away 125,000 Tickets for Free, is it Possible?

Question

I read in a news paper that London Olympics 2012: Giving Away 125,000 Tickets for Free. Does anyone know the details?

Answer 1

Hadn't heard of it. But if anyone knows, what events are they for?

Answer 2

The initiative on part of Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London, to giveaway 125,000 tickets to London Olympics 2012 for free to the London schoolchildren is rather commendable. However, the much needed funds required to do so are missing and the London administration has been vigorously involved to raise private cash to pay for it.
