Calls for ticket policy shake-up

The British Olympic Association has called on the International Olympic Committee to completely revamp its ticketing policy for future Games.

London 2012 has become the latest Olympics to be plagued by empty seats in sold-out events, leading to criticism of the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games.

BOA chairman Lord Moynihan insisted this morning it was "time to stop the blame game", urging the IOC to learn from a problem he said had also dogged the previous three Games in Sydney, Athens and Beijing.
