A Facebook-based ticket sharing website has been set up by fans wanting to see the London 2012 Olympics.
Organisers of www.ticketcollective.com say it is a free ticket information site offering some hope to people unable to get tickets by letting them know which of their Facebook friends have spares. It may also help ward off touting. It is not a ticket reselling or swapping site, according to managing director Andrew Mobbs. He said: “With the recent demand for Olympic tickets being so high and the confusion around who got what tickets, we decided to see if we could do anything to make the process more transparent and sociable.
“The application process for London 2012 Olympic tickets on the whole was a lonely experience, with individuals up at all hours applying for groups of tickets, and with a lot of people ending up disappointed.
“So we thought we’d make the whole thing far more sociable and ensure that those with tickets know which of their Facebook friends are attending the same events.”
