The Olympic torch lands in London in two weeks, but don’t expect many Massachusetts spectators to make the journey.

“I was going to go,” said Ginger Plexico, a Chatham resident with a penchant for all things British. “But it will be so crowded, so congested, that I’m not going.”

The 72-year-old has friends to stay with in London, but she’s putting her travel dollars elsewhere: “I’m going to Cambodia in October instead.”

Tickets to the opening ceremony are priced in the thousands, and many hotels are doubling room rates in late July and early August. So Plexico, like many other New Englanders, is content to watch the international sporting event on television. NBC, which will carry the Summer Olympics, expects 200 million Americans to tune in over 17 days starting July 2.

Boston-area travel companies that sell Olympics packages have not found many takers — even at the height of vacation season. Daniel Pranka, of New England Sports Tours in Saugus, has not had a single call for the world’s largest sporting event this year.

“I’m not sure why. The entertainment dollar is still there,” said Pranka, who has 174 people signed up to travel to London in October to watch the New England Patriots play the St. Louis Rams at Wembley Stadium.

Jeanne Kane, owner of Games Away Tours in Wilmington, has had a similar experience. “I haven’t had one inquiry,” she said. “It’s really expensive for the events. People come from all over the world, hotel rates are up, and not everyone can afford it.”

Plus, Kane added, “You see such good coverage on TV.”

How expensive are the games?

According to CoSport, the official Olympic ticket vendor in the United States, remaining tickets range from $600 to watch the gold medal round of boxing to nearly $7,000 for a premium seat at the opening ceremonies. Some spectators, looking for deals, will try to buy tickets from resellers in London.
