Just the ticket ... three men sleep as hundreds of people wait, and lie, in line to buy precious Olympic seats in Beijing last night. The last batch of tickets for the Games goes on sale today at booths for the various Olympic venues. Beijing police have detained 60 scalping suspects in the past two months. Some of the scalpers have been accused of reselling Games tickets at prices up to 100 times their face value.
Friends are reporting queues 2km long in Shanghai as tickets go on sale for the Football competition, part hosted in Shanghai
Folks will need to be careful where they buy their tickets if reports of 'bubble-jet' tickets in plentiful supply are to be believed!
