Millions of tickets sold, millions of unsuccessful tickets applied for and there’s rows of empty seats at London 2012. Usually football reduces me to yelling at the television, but seeing all those empty seats for the corporate big guns genuinely hit me in the pit of my stomach. The rudeness to simply not show up for those tickets when the general public are crying out to see absolutely anything is astounding.



The Olympic organisers LOGOC [London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games] have put thousands of tickets back on sale today in order to relive pressure and fill the empty seats at venues across London 2012. It’s sad that it’s come to this but at least a response has happened, quickly and effectively.
If you’re wondering who the persons were absent from their seats then wait no more. The accredited "Games Family" have reportedly been blamed for the empty seats but London 2012, the Games Family includes; sports officials, media, international federations and sponsors.

Let’s hope that this hapless “Games Family” doesn’t get any complementary tickets for a while after their poor turnout.
Also, it’s great to see that the corporations don’t always win!!!
Power to the people.
