Rio
de Janeiro (AFP) - Nearly a third of tickets to the Rio Olympics remain
unsold just over three weeks from the opening ceremony, an official
said Wednesday, insisting that sales were on course.
"We
have sold over 70 percent of available tickets," a spokesman for the
Rio 2016 organizing committee said in an emailed statement. ...
... The organizing committee did not respond to a request for comment on a
report in Estadao newspaper that there had been 40,000 ticket
cancellations following a statement by Rio Mayor Eduardo Paes on CNN
that local police are doing a "horrible" job in ensuring safety.
