It looks like the problem has been caused by the expensive tickets not being fully sold out, and the tickets given to sponsors and dignitaries have not been fully used. Seb Coe has now come out and said that it won't happen in the future games. I think he's thinking wishfully tbh.

I personally think that this is a massive pisstake. Most events that you watch you can see that the party atmosphere is further back where the cheaper tickets are. This has essentially been caused by greed.

They should have offered the tickets to small sports clubs up at discount rates when they knew they weren't selling (e.g. offered the unsold Volleyball tickets to Volleyball clubs). They would have got people that were actually interested in the sports watching them then.

Been looking for tickets online and they say it's all sold out!

Fuck off this is bullshit I wanna be apart of the Olympics and they're telling me there are no seats!?

I would of gone to that Volleyball

[Thun 217]

Greed getting the better of them and making the games look dry

These tickets should of been dished out to schools

Aint seeing many young people just upper crust toffee types

This is what I'm saying.

I originally tried to get Handball tickets when they went on sale because it's a sick sport. Nextly quick. But they were sold out. Now the seats are empty?!

I'm sure there is actually a ticket office somewhere where you can get tickets on the day, but surprise surprise I can't find out any info online about it.

[JOHN DOE 6,248]

This is very bad. All the people that tried to get tickets and didn't yet look at all them empty seats. Pathetic

[time_bomb 2,662]

i found £20 tickets for volleyball, boxing, judo and football yesterday, but yea they should be giving discounts to londoners and handing out free tickets to community centres and schools and what not

[Kurtis 5,466]

its all these corporate tickets they give out

these guys cant even be bothered to turn up

[Captain Planet 1,123]

those 420 pound tickets need to drop, fill out the bloody seats or dont have any in them at all its not rocket science

[anelka 132]

it's an absolute farce

[mark_INIESTA_davies 522]

So what's going on here then?

Now we're going to have a situation where people are going to buy seats that have already been bought?

Are they taking the piss - literally making a mint!

Thun what you saying about this then?

[Natty 1,454]

Let me give you lot my tip

Step 1: Olympic ticket website

Step 2: Use firefox and install reload every which will refresh the page every 5s https://addons.mozil...on/reloadevery/

Step 3: Keep an eye on your laptop and wait for tickets

went to see the basketball today my mum got 100m womens relay finals but let them go in the end because they were too expensive shes holding out for 100m mens relay finals but i doubt they will show up.
