Rejected petition Allow the release of empty / unclaimed Olympic seats to the general public . . .
More details
To allow the general public access to the vast amount of empty / unclaimed seats during any event at both The Olympic & Paralympic events.
Whilst I understand some seats are empty due to transport issues, corporate inefficiency or disinterest etc. I suggest that once an event has started (much like an airline's booking system) empty seats be either given away or sold at minimum cost to willing applicants who are already present at the venue but not official ticket holders.

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
This is a matter for the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
