Re the empty seats.
Obviously seats are handed out to Sponsors / VIP's et al well in advance
and I'm not sure if certain people get a certain number. It has also been
mentioned that they can't be returned to the pool to be sold as it is too costly
and time consuming.
So why not work it the other way round. Considering the lead up to the Olympics is so long, couldn't it be done the other way with Sponsors / VIP's and send them a tick and flick sheet which they have to return for the tickets they want and only these are sent out ?
The rest are then sold ?
Re soldiers, good to see some are enjoying it.
