Concern over Olympic ticket 'secrecy'
The company responsible for Olympic ticket sales have been criticised by the London Assembly for their "suspicious" secrecy over the arrangements.
The Assembly's Economy, Culture and Sport committee said Locog, the ticket organisers, have refused several requests to release details of the number of tickets sold at "affordable prices."
Locog previously confirmed that 28% of the 8.8 million Olympic tickets available would cost less than £20, and say they will provide a breakdown of their sales, after the remaining three million Olympic and Paralympic tickets have been sold.
Baroness Dee Doocey, chairwoman of the committee, said Locog's secrecy over the pricing arrangements had "stocked fears" that the most popular events may have a disproportionate number of highly priced tickets.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4, the peer said: "I suspect that in some cases - certainly for the large events such as the opening ceremony, and probably for the 100 metres final – I think, probably, the vast majority of them are not going to go to the public."
