Olympic Games Eileen Digney carries the Olympic flame in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia. Ticket sales are slow for the Sydney games. Olympic organizers are counting on TV advertising to help pick up the slack.
Tickets are available for gold-medal sessions in track and field, gymnastics, diving and basketball.
An Olympics-record 9 million tickets were issued for these games, which run Sept. 15 to Oct. 1. There has never been a sellout of all events at an Olympics. We feel pretty confident we can achieve the task of selling the bulk of the tickets. Ad Campaign Features Australians All swimming events are sold out. Four track and field sessions are sellouts, as are some basketball games and finals in baseball, softball, tennis, field hockey and rowing.
