And to the corporates who have bought up the best seats and left them empty, shame on you. We all know how hard it was to buy tickets.

Empty seats at the London Olympics spark Twitter fury

7/30/2012

If you've tuned into the London Olympics — assuming you can tolerate NBC's crappy coverage of the Games — you might have noticed stadiums full of empty seats. You're not alone: The number of butt-free chairs sparked outrage on Twitter from Londoners who weren't able to score tickets for supposedly "sold out" events. The hashtag "#emptyseats" blazed with complaints over the weekend, and it wasn't long before someone started @OlympicSeat, a Twitter account for a chair that feels "nothing but emptiness." There's an investigation underway to fix the problem, which is mostly blamed on no-show corporate sponsors, Olympic officials and members of the media. [Source]

How do you think the "empty seats" problem should be fixed?
