Thousands left disappointed after London 2012 Olympics second ballot

Thousands more fans have been left disappointing after failing to secure tickets in the second round of balloting for the London 2012 Olympics.

Some 200,000 of the 1.2 million that applied have ended up with nothing at all, despite being told initially they had secured tickets.

It was originally thought that people would miss out only in exceptional circumstances and the vast majority of those whose applications were accepted would get the tickets they wanted.

There were 24 sports in the second-round sale, 18 of which sold out by Friday evening. Boxing and weightlifting joined the sold-out list on Saturday. Only football, volleyball, wrestling remained for sale on Sunday.

"Over 130,000 more people will now have tickets to the Games following the first day of the second-chance sale on Friday," said London 2012 organising committee (Locog) chairman Lord Coe. "We know there is still some disappointment from those who were not successful in their requests, but we will continue do everything we can to get them to the Games."
