Title: Now it's the Olympics Ticket suppliers turn to f*** up
Post by: Pete on July 23, 2012, 07:43:17 PM

You couldn't make this up... It appears that once again the the government have chosen the wrong suppliers. Hot on the heels of the security farce, this time it's the turn of CoSport, supplier of tickets for the US, Australia and Canada, who have let the side down.

Basically they couldn't get the tickets to those that odrdered them and asked that the punters pick them up in London... That's when the trouble began.  ::)

Who chose these suppliers? G4S and CoSport? Were they not vetted? Or did they "know" someone in a position of power?

What a debacle... (http://www.ichesterfield.co.uk/images/headbang.gif)

Wouldn't win a raffle if they bought every ticket, you might say.

Apparently.

Each country's Olympic Committee chooses their own company to undertake this task; for once, Britain can't be blamed for a fiasco.

Re-read my original post.

Quote

The company is also the official overseas resale partner for the Swedish, Austrian, Bulgarian and Norwegian Olympic committees, meaning that hundreds of British purchasers have also bought tickets through the site under EU rules that allow them to purchase from other European nations

So it's an Olympic Committee f*** up
