Don’t blame London for the empty seats. It’s a family issue

Evening Standard

Lord Coe and Locog should stop trying to pretend they can solve the problem of empty seats at Olympic venues. They cannot.

Coe hinted as much at his press conference yesterday as the swathes of empty seats led to a public outcry.

His explanation: “There are tens of thousands of people at this moment within the accredited ‘family’ that are trying to figure out what their day looks like, where they are going to be asked to go to, frankly working out how you divide your time.”
