LOCOG said ticket numbers were raised from 7.7 million to 8 million and an extra 500,000 tickets were made available for the Paralympics, bringing the overall total to 10 million.
"We are completely committed to ensuring our events are accessible, that tickets are affordable and that our venues are packed to the rafters with sports fans," said LOCOG chief executive Paul Deighton.
Three-quarters of tickets will be available directly to people living in Britain and the EU via a ballot process. Of the remaining 25 percent, about 8 per cent will go to sponsors, 13 per cent to international fans and sports organisations and 4 per cent to hospitality and travel companies.
Deighton added LOCOG would be looking to squeeze out ticket touts so affordable tickets ended up in the hands of real sports fans.
Pricing details have yet to be released but tickets will go on sale from spring 2011.
