WITH less than 24 hours to go until the London Olympics opening ceremony, tickets to the biggest show in town are still available - for a price.
The Danny Boyle-directed opening ceremony cost 27 million pounds (US$42.3 million) to produce and is expected to draw an estimated global television audience of 1 billion.
Olympic organizers confirmed late Thursday that the extravaganza has not sold out, saying that tickets are still on sale in the two highest price categories. Available tickets cost 2,012 pounds (US$3,157) or 1,600 pounds (US$2,510) apiece, organizers said.
Organizers would not say exactly how many tickets remain on sale, describing the quantity as "a few."
But The Guardian reported that a telephone ticket salesman told the newspaper that tickets are still available in groups of up to four.
