OLY: Last minute Olympic ticket sale blitz stats tomorrow
Olympic organisers will begin a last-minute advertising blitz tomorrow to fill more
than 2 million empty seats, including more than 212,700 at gold medal sessions.
The Sydney Morning Herald newspaper says SOCOG will begin its final ticketing campaign
in an attempt to raise up to $150 million and avoid the prospect of swathes of empty seats
at venues.
The campaign comes in the same week a SOCOG inventory revealed less than six weeks
before the opening ceremony tickets are available to more than 100 of the 142 gold medal
sessions.
More than two months after SOCOG finished its last ticketing campaign there are unsold
seats across all price categories for the gold medal sessions, including popular sports
such as athletics, gymnastics, diving, triathlon and basketball.
The newspaper says remaining gold medal session tickets are priced from $10 for modern
pentathlon finals, to $455 for A-class seats at the athletics finals.
