BT Headlines London Live

BT is to be the headline sponsor of BT London Live, a celebration of sport, music and other entertainment in Hyde Park, Victoria Park and Trafalgar Square this summer as part of the city’s London 2012 celebrations.  BT London Live will be free apart from the Opening and Closing Celebration Concerts at Hyde Park. 

There will be outdoor screenings of the sporting action, entertainment every day of the Games and the opportunity to ‘have a go’ at free sport participation zones. As a result of its sponsorship of London Live, BT customers will have 48-hour priority access for tickets for the special Opening and Closing Celebration Concerts held at Hyde Park on 27 July and 12 August, via <a href="www.bt.com/londonlive">www.bt.com/londonlive</a>.

Gavin Patterson, CEO, BT Retail, said, "London 2012 will not just be about sport – it’s also about people experiencing the amazing atmosphere the Games will bring to the capital. Through BT London Live we’ll give close to a million people a fantastic free experience this summer. Priority access is a great way to say thank you to our customers and employees and we’re delighted to offer this starting with the Opening and Closing Ceremony Celebration Concerts. Everyone will remember where they were when British gold medals were won – it’s great that for many people, those memories will be of BT London Live.” 

Acts and ticket details for BT London Live will be announced over the coming weeks.
