Can't Drop, Won't Drop

The organisers of the Olympic Games 2004, which are being held in Athens this August, are faced with something of a dilemma.

There are over 3 million unsold tickets for the Games, which begin in a little over 50 days time.

The organising committee will be launching a media blitz, which will push the Games as the safest yet etc. However, the simplest way to shift tickets would be to drop the prices.

Unfortunately, a mixture of stubbornness and worries about complaints from people who have already paid full price for their tickets are preventing this most sensible idea being implemented.

If you have any ideas as to how the tickets could be shifted, please feel free to drop me a line.
