There will be box offices open outside events. Some events are selling slower than others. This is especially true of events outside London such as the football in Glasgow. You can see online at www.tickets.london2012.com/ what events are available. Buying online near the time will require you to collect the ticket at the box office outside the even. Simply take your photo ID and the card you used for payment or the booking confirmation email and you can receive the purchased tickets.
Additionally, some people may cancel there plans to attend the games. There is an official route on the www.tickets.london2012.com website for reselling tickets at the original price only. So even some of the big events might have a few tickets on the day due to cancellations.
Personally, I've already got my tickets. They arrived in the post yesterday.

From 11am UK time on Wednesday May 28, the final batch of tickets goes on sale.
London 2012 Olympics: final batch of tickets to go on general release
Organisers have confirmed that there is still a good availability for a range of sports including archery, badminton, basketball, beach volleyball, diving, handball and hockey.
There are also some tickets for highly sought-after events including gymnastics, both artistic and trampoline.
There are very few available tickets for medal events, with only higher priced tickets available for the majority of the medal events.
It also seems likely that some events will not be fully sold out - especially events not as high-profile in Europe and the UK - archery, handball and more.
Finally if you're really desperate to see anything, events like the marathon are open and free to viewers along the majority of the route :)
EDIT
I suspect there's also a black market of sorts for tickets, but I wouldn't recommend going down that route.
