LONDON, June 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Thomas Cook launch four day exclusive deal until midnight 2ndJuly
As the countdown to the Olympic Games reaches fever pitch across the UK, Thomas Cook, has unveiled this special offer on what is, for many, their last pay day weekend before the Games.
With one month to go until the Opening Ceremony, Thomas Cook, Official Short Break provider to the London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games,has today launched huge discounts of up to 50 per cent across a range of selected Games Breaks.
While some lucky people on their holidays in Greece, whose popular resorts include Santorini, got to see the flame being lit in person, more than four million people have come out to support the UK tour of the torch.
many sports fans can join in the buzz around the event by getting tickets for events such as athletics, swimming, hockey, beach volleyball - as well as Opening and Closing Ceremonies - across a range of prices.
The four-day sale is on offer throughout the travel expert's network of 1,100 stores, online at http://www.thomascooklondon2012.com and through its sales centres from 29th June until midnight on 2nd July.
Stephen Vaughan, managing director of Thomas Cook's London 2012 partnership urged sports fans to secure their seat at this "once-in-a-lifetime event".
He added: "It's no secret that there are generally more tickets available to the Games than many people predicted there would be with a month to go. Even though British households' finances remain under pressure, we've sold tens of thousands of Games Breaks so far, with many sessions and sports having sold out.
"This very special and limited offer on some of our remaining Games Breaks is in response to what we know our customers want - guaranteed seats and hotels that offer them great value."
This is the only place to visit on the high street to guarantee tickets to the Games and Thomas Cook's Games Breaks start at £79, making them also ideal for those who've already managed to get a ticket in the ballot but still need a hotel or a even an extended Olympic experience.
