The ticketing has been one of the greatest problems for the organizers of the Olympic Games of London 2012. This great sporting event will start in august, but now it is presents an important problem about the ticketing for synchronized swimming.
London 2012 organizers have admitted that sold 20.000 tickets, but just there are 10.000 available seats. The organizers recognized that the overbooking was caused by human error in the computer system.
"As a result of finalizing the seating configurations in our venues and reconciling the millions of Olympic and Paralympics ticket orders against the seating plans for around 1,000 sporting sessions, we have discovered an error in seats available in four synchronized swimming sessions," said a London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (Locog) spokesman.
To solve this important problem, the organizers have already called to 3000 of the 10000 affected, and have offered them tickets to any other sport.
Most affected customers have accepted the offer, because the new tickets are very exclusive for watching sports. However, still need to contact 7000 customers who are not aware that their tickets are invalid.
However, the organizers have said that the ticketing process have been correct in other sports. Also, they announced that in April they will sell the last 1.2 million tickets available.
