London 2012 says Olympic ticketing was fair
A London 2012 spokesman said: "We were always clear about our priorities when it came to tickets - we needed to raise the money to stage the Games, but we also wanted to ensure they were accessible and affordable to as many people as possible.
We feel we achieved this with more than 75% going to the public for the Olympic Games and 91% for the Paralympic Games.
We were required to reserve a proportion of seats for stakeholder groups, such as Games family and media, but when it became clear that these were not being used, we made every effort to ensure that they were made available to the British public.

London Olympic tours go down a storm
by Phil BaylesTwenty thousand tickets sold in advance in just a month. How many major London attractions would envy that? Especially as what tourists are visiting is essentially a building site.
The first tours of the empty Olympic Park started in Stratford with coach loads of trippers taking in spectacular views of the London skyline from the 80 metre high Orbit.
They also saw less exciting sights of building work under way to transform the 2012 site into a public park which will begin to reopen in the summer.
A thousand people a day will take the tour on weekends and school holidays; thirty thousand more tickets are being released with more on standby if the demand grows even more.
Priced at £15 for adults with family tickets available,bookings indicate that there is still great interest, even affection for the park.
