Not everything is lost, a pre-requisite. There is still time, though limited. But the statistics published by the Korean Herald are surely news, on a topic that is already topical even before the summer has just passed. Yoo Eun-hae, of the Democratic Party currently ruling the government, admitted his fears at the Korean newspaper: "The issue must be taken seriously." What is the news, then? Soon I said. Only 30.3% of the more than 1,070,000 tickets that the Organizing Committee hoped to sell were effectively bought. Not only that, with the tickets available to the general general public, only the 20.7 was purchased. Of course, Pyeongchang 2018 has also made it known that 59.7% of the 320,000 foreign-reserved tickets have gone out, but pay attention: the latter include those distributed to authorized dealers in each individual country and does not necessarily mean that they have been bought ...
Next with the numbers, then we stop, promised: according to the Korean Herald, only 17.2% of ice hockey tickets, traditionally one of the most popular sports in the Winter Games, has been sold. South Korean President Moon Jae-in has recently bought several tickets on his own initiative, hoping to give a good example and increase sales, and also the Korean Banks Federation said it will hand in that direction, having known low rates of sale. As already mentioned in another article on this site, the IOC, the International Olympic Committee, has not been concerned about the situation, which at this time represents the lowest percentage of tickets sold so few months after the Games. "At PyeongChang, they remain confident, they will reach the set goals." During the last meeting with the Organizing Committee, a CIO spokesman said, there were a number of additional ideas to support sales. torch in less than two weeks will kick off in Korea and should attract public and media attention as promotional campaigns of the various rights holders for the Olympics are about to start.
For Paralympics, the figure is even lower: at the moment we talk about 4.2% of ticket sales
