A London Warm-Up weekend combined ticket will allow visitors to watch Game On At The O2, featuring GB Basketball team against European competiton, the Dextro Energy Triathlon ITU World Championship London in Hyde Park and the Modern Pentathlon World Championships, which take place in Crystal Palace National Sports Centre.

Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London said: "This is a fantastic opportunity for Londoners to watch world-class athletes at some of the capital's finest sporting venues and the first real chance to experience action at future Olympic locations like Hyde Park.

"As London ‘warms-up' to welcome the world in 2012, let's cheer on our GB athletes and 2012 hopefuls - I hope that events like this will inspire more young Londoners to get involved in sports activity, even inspiring future winners.'

The price of the combined ticket will be £20 for an adult ticket and £55 for a family of four, which gives them entrance and special reserved seating for all three events.
