The 2012 London Olympics started with much fanfare last
week. But as the cameras rolled through the competition venues, many picked up
something unexpected: empty seats for matches that were supposed to be
sold-out. Why is this so? Jeremy Hunt, UK Minister of Culture, had mentioned that
an investigation would be carried out. The outcome will probably not appear
anytime soon but below could be some of the potential reasons:
1)
The system may not have been right when it indicates that a
match is a sold-out one and it is not surprising considering that ticket
allocations were done via some complex mechanisms.
2)
Many of the original buyers could have been people who hoped
to make quick bucks and are unfortunately unable to find buyers.
3)
Everything is working fine but the hiccups with security,
immigration, etc have scared the spectators away.
