London 2012 Domains

[Joe123]

Now that London has been awarded the 2012 Olympics, has anyone picked up some good domain names for this event?

Does anyone have any suggestions for possible names?

I probably won't worry about registering any myself but I am interested on other people's thoughts.

I don't see any real value in the domains for another good 6-7 years anyway. People will forget all about it until a year or less before it anyway.

I have a few in mind but by the time I get the money to buy it will be gone.

 

[Joe123]

Yes, I see where you are getting at, but surely there must be some key names that are worth obtaining. Things like ticket sales, merchandise, athlete preparations, stadium developments and other events occur years before the actual games begin.

The Olympic Committees are very aggressive when it comes to trademark protection. In one 2003 case, they took away the following from a domain company (squatter?):

bcolympic.com
bcolympic2010
bcolympics2010.com
bcolympics2010.net
vancouverbcolympic.com
vancouverbcolympics.com
vancouverbcolympics.net
vancouverbcolympics2010.com
vancouverbcolympics2010.net

My advice is to stay away from any domain with the word "olympic" in it.

 

[Badger]

Yup, 1800 domain holders brought up in a case action.

IOC protect theri TM like no-one else.

Do yourselves a favour people, STAY AWAY

London******2012.com
I am not even Brave enough too Mention in POst
Go back to where you regged and Cancel or Delete It Now.
You WILL be in trouble with IOC , not Maybe or could Be

 

[Joe123]

I was going to reg london1948.com but I have too many domains already. I believe in the lead-up to the 2012 games lots of people will search for the information about London's last Olympics held in 1948.

london1948.com and london1908.com (the other London Olympics) are still available so if anybody reg's them some NP$ would be appreciated.

 

[cjcjcj]

I have an original Olympic programme from London 1948 - now I can get a matching one for 2012 - I'm over the moon WELL DONE LONDON!

We already have things like:
stay2012.com
transportguide2012.com
party2012.com
london2021.co.uk and more.

It may be 7 years away but that's a good amount of time to build a decent PR and get to the top of the search engines!

 

[DJ_Guvana]

I own www.2012Forums.com

Im currently working on the website now as we speak.

 

[jamieneil]

I havnt realy thought about it but know that you have mentioned i may just go and register a few domains to add to my collection, and then we can make somemoney. It like this;
if you owned a house with a spare room that is no firther than a mile from the stadiem then you can rent a room out for baaare money.

Im going to get a load that are nice and sell them closer to the time, wene the event is massive.
