According to the Telegraph today some of the empty seats are for the Olympic Family but the far bigger reason 'they say' is seats that were allocated to agencies who have been selling the tickets abroad. Who knows! It certainly sucks though that people like Chris Hoy couldn't even get tickets for all his immediate family whilst so many aren't being used.

In other areas there have been problems selling them. Especially with the football. The first game in Glasgow had an approximate attendance of 10,000 to 15,000 when they had supposedly sold about 10,000 and given about another 30,000 away! They might have tried paying people to go :-)
