Youths Could Get Free London 2012 Seats

Seats that are not sold for the 2012 Olympics could end up being offered free to pupils, according to London Mayor Boris Johnson.

Under his proposed scheme, youths would have the chance to be called up to watch the Games, if corporate guests could not attend or cancelled.

The initiative was borne out of the face that many seats were vacant in Beijing. Despite being officially sold out, large chunks of the stadium seating went empty, something Mayor Johnson has said he wants to avoid.
