Then the website would not accept his payment and by the time he managed to contact officials about the problem, he was informed the tickets had been sold. He said he was first told there were none available and then last week when a batch came on to the market he was told he was successful. Mark Bishton, an Olympics fan who contacted the Guardian, said he tried but failed to buy two tickets for the ceremony at £150 each. A spokeswoman for Locog said: "We are confident there will be no empty seats." Since seating plans were released for the stadium there have also been questions over whether a £2,012 ticket offers a markedly better view than the cheapest tickets which went on sale at £20.12. It is understood that sales of hospitality packages built around the opening ceremony were initially slower than expected.

A troupe of stunt bike riders who were due to perform in the ceremony until their section was cut at the last minute were only offered seats at the dress rehearsal.Ĭrowds of 60,000 have watched two dress rehearsals this week, staged to fine-tune plans for Friday night's £27m show. Tickets for the ceremony have been considered among the most desirable of the Games and even people who would seem to have a strong claim to attend have been denied tickets. With just one day to go until the Danny Boyle-directed extravaganza opens the Games, the most expensive tickets in category AA, which cost £2,012 each, and category A which cost £1,600, were on sale. Tickets remain on sale to the general public on the website of the London Organising Committee and a telephone salesman working for the organisers confirmed to the Guardian that tickets are available in groups of up to four.
