Mayor's support for end to secrecy over Olympic tickets must mean action – Dee Doocey

February 22, 2012 11:34 AM

Dee Doocey, the Liberal Democrat London Assembly Olympic spokesperson, commenting on the Mayor's response to her question this morning about the secrecy over the sale of Olympic tickets by the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) said:

"I am delighted that the Mayor supports the London Assembly's call for transparency from LOCOG. In particular I welcome the fact that he has agreed to try to persuade LOCOG at the next Olympic Board meeting to immediately release the information.

"We need to know now how many tickets have been sold for each event, and at what price. If this information is not provided until all the tickets are sold it will be too late to do anything about it."

"LOCOG excuses for not publishing information are indefensible from an organisation that only exists because of a huge investment of public money."
