Hospitality Tickets To Be Sold For 2012

London 2012 organisers have signed a deal with two ticket agencies to sell 130,000 hospitality packages for the event.

JetSet Sports and a joint venture between the former England rugby international Mike Burton and French catering company, Mike Burton-Sodexo, will be responsible for selling the tickets.

Fears that the majority seats would be taken by hospitality packages have been quelled by officials, who say that these tickets represent less than 2% of the total of 7.7m available.

JetSet have been the official hospitality provider at every Games, summer and winter, since Salt Lake City in 2002.

London Olympic organisers insisted that the deals would cover all 26 events taking place.

Olympic tickets will not go on general sale until next year.
