Tickets are available for 310 sports sessions, organisers say The second round of ticket sales for next year's Olympic games will open at 0600 BST on Friday for those who were unsuccessful in the initial ballot.
Some 2.3 million tickets will be on sale for 10 days on a first-come-first-served basis on London 2012's website.
Tickets are available for 310 sessions, 44 of which are medal events including archery, basketball, fencing, judo, synchronised swimming and table tennis.
Some half a million tickets will be priced at £20 or less.
A further one million tickets are priced between £20 and £50.
Applicants will find out whether they have been successful within 24 to 48 hours of applying. Payment will be taken once the sale closes at 1800 BST on 3 July.
About 1.7 million of the tickets still available are for football matches and 600,000 for other sports, including archery and hockey.
Those who were successful in the first ballot, held from May to June, will get their own second chance to buy from 0600 BST on 8 July to 1800 BST on 17 July.
People will be able to apply for up to three sessions, and six tickets per session, for most sports - although football, volleyball and race walking will have larger limits.
The London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games has also said its predictions indicate more than one million tickets will become available between December 2011 and the start of the games.
These will come through returns, and as the final seating plans for the venues are finalised.
Organisers expect the 2.3 million tickets going on sale in the second round will put them on track to reach £400m of the £500m target of revenue from ticket sales.
Twenty-one events sold out in the first round of sales, with the opening and closing ceremonies, diving, swimming and tennis being popular.
London 2012 sponsor Thomas Cook, which is offering UK short breaks and trips to the Games, said it still has availability for athletics and swimming finals, plus the opening and closing ceremonies.
