More than 70% of tickets sold for Rio Olympics
MORE than 70% of the total tickets available for next month's Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro have been sold, according to organizers.
Fans have spent 960 million reais (US$290 million) on 4.3 million tickets, Rio 2016 ticketing director Donovan Ferreti said. Another 1.7 million tickets are still available.
The figure is still some way short of the mark set at the London 2012 Games, when 86% of total tickets were sold.
"The ideal scenario would be to sell out all events but if we reach the level of London, we will be happy," Ferreti said.
"Our revenue target from ticket sales is close to being achieved. We know that many people buy tickets at the last minute. In the next few weeks the actual events will be more visible and we hope that will trigger sales.
Ticket prices for the August 5-21 Games range from less than US$20 for sailing, tennis and modern pentathlon to US$1,400 for the best seats at the opening ceremony.
