Sounds like the mail is anti Olympics judging by the two articles i've read so far.

Sounds like it was sponsors and press seats that hadn't been filled.

You seriously think allying yourself with The Daily Mail is likely to end well for you? Some of the stuff on the DM's website about the games and opening ceremony have been, to put it bluntly, vile.

It's here, it's happening, you don't need to be involved, watch it or contribute anything to it any more.
Being anti-Olympics it is like being anti-rain at this point in time.

Send in the soldiers (to fill the empty seats): Extraordinary new Olympic ticket farce as troops are drafted in to venues left half-empty after sponsors fail to show


Quote:
Troops, students and teachers are being drafted in to help end the embarrassing spectacle of empty seats at Olympic venues.

London 2012 chairman Lord Coe today revealed that servicemen were being brought in at the last minute to fill the gaps in stadia.

Invitations have also been given to students and teachers from London schools, he added.

The desperate measure was announced as photographs showed Games venues with large swathes of empty seats for the second day in a row.
