2012 ticketing submission to LOCOG

The Assembly says answers about how 2012 tickets will be allocated are needed to build public confidence in the forthcoming ticketing strategy.

The Assembly’s Economic Development, Culture, Sport and Tourism Committee has written to the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) to seek answers about their plans for filling the Games’ nine million seats.

Questions from Londoners who contributed to the committee’s online discussion forum were included in the submission to LOCOG, which sets out the issues the committee feels should be answered in the plans due to be published later this year.

Four key issues are identified in the submission; price, availability, priority access and purchasing arrangements.

Next steps

The Committee published a further report on the subject in March 2011
