The Water Polo Arena is now complete, it was the final sporting venue on the Olympic Park to be built.

Debbie Jevans, London 2012 Director of Sport, said: ‘As with all our test events, tickets sold quickly for Hockey and Water Polo when they went on sale last month. We have worked hard to be able to offer more tickets to fans to enable them to watch the forthcoming test events and we are delighted that we have been able to achieve this.

‘Spectators play a key role in helping us test our operations as we continue to look at and test crowd flows as well as athlete movements, our workforce and of course the field of play.’
