Many tickets for Olympics remain unsold

he BBC has learned that nearly a third of the Olympics tickets which went on sale earlier this month remain unsold.
The London 2012 organisers had expected that the 928,000 tickets would all be snapped up quickly by eager buyers, but that has not proved to be the case.
There are still more than 20 sessions with availability for sports like boxing, basketball, beach volleyball and weightlifting.
In total there are nearly 300,000 tickets remaining on sale.

That is in addition to the more than one million football tickets which are left.
For the first time since London 2012 tickets went on sale last year there is now a genuine prospect of the Games not selling out.

:shock:

perhaps the price or the fact you can't buy tickets for a sport you like may have something to do with it.

I think with HD TV and very large screens people are figuring out that watching for home is much better. I would rather have a football party at home, the food is better too.

HD is the way to go.....


I've already programed my set top box for the ladies, naked darts. I expect to see some very good double tops!

be glad when its finished and i never have to see that smug b/steward seb coe again

I shall be at home enjoying the brave exploits of our differently enabled athletes .....the throwing the stick backwards over your head (whilst sat down) is one of my favourite events!
