OT: Olympic officials investigating empty seats.

From the Reuters article -

"We think it was accredited seats that belong to sponsors, but if they are not going to turn up, we want those tickets to be available for members of the public, because that creates the best atmosphere. So we are looking at this very urgently at the moment," Hunt said.

Sound familiar?

"The Reuters article??"

What, are we psychic or something?

That's really appalling. Because London is so accessible to so much of the world relative to say, Beijing, demand for tickets is really high. To possess tickets that people covet and not even use them is just crappy.
