adminOrganisers said on Wednesday they accidentally oversold 10 000 tickets for synchronised swimming because of human error in processing applications.
As a result, customers have been offered the chance to exchange those tickets for other events they applied for but were unsuccessful – including some of the most glamorous and coveted events.
About 200 more people will be able to watch the men’s 100m final in the Olympic Stadium, the highest demand sports event of the games.
Organisers realised a few weeks ago that they had sold twice the number of tickets available for four sessions of synchronised swimming.
“In December we contacted around 3 000 customers who had applied for tickets in the four sessions during the second round sales process,” the organising committee said in a statement Wednesday. “We are exchanging their synchronised swimming tickets for tickets in other sports that they originally applied for.”
The alternate tickets will come from the pot of 1 million for all events that are to go on sale in May once the seating configuration has been finalised at all venues. – AFP.
