An Olympic disaster on the horizon.
But this time it is the Chinese who have problems, rather than us - lots and lots (and lots) of unsold tickets:
"Only 450,000 tickets for this summer's Olympic Games have been successfully allocated, accounting for about a quarter of the tickets available for sale in the second phase, the Beijing Olympics Organizing Committee said on Sunday". Source
Clearly there will be no problem filling the stadium for the more appealing athletic events, but I will offer the usual odds that thousands of unfortunates will be bussed in to fill up arenas and the like for lesser events. Come 2012, if the wretched event has not been cancelled, expect an awful lot of complimentary tickets being dished out to school children.

You can skip to the end and leave a response.
Wasn't there an almighty c*ck-up with the ticket sales software? That might explain a lot...
They will grow crowds in vats if they have to and then harvest the organs . Slitty eyed devils !
