LOCOG’s excessive secrecy on Olympic tickets is shameful – Dee Doocey

March 7, 2012 4:38 PM

Dee DooceyDee Doocey, the Liberal Democrat London Assembly Olympic spokesperson, commenting on the replies provided by Lord Coe, Chair of LOCOG and Paul Deighton, Chief Executive of LOCOG, to her questions today about the lack of transparency over Olympic tickets said:

"LOCOG ongoing secrecy over Olympic tickets is shameful. They have already sold over 7 million tickets and there is no reason at all why they could not publish today the full details about the price of tickets already sold for each and every Olympic event.

"Their excuses for not publishing this information straight away are indefensible. To claim that the current information would be confusing or provide a partial picture is patronising in the extreme to the public who have paid for the Games."
