In the wake of Canada’s decision to guarantee tickets to families of its Olympics athletes for the 2010 Winter Games, Britain has announced plans to make sure its Olympic families will have tickets to the 2012 Summer Games in London. The British Olympic Association has entered into an agreement with the London 2012 Organizing Committee assuring that Team Great Britain will receive the first allocation of tickets to allow immediate families to watch their Olympians’ events. The details of the plan have yet to be finalized, so it’s unknown if the families will simply be guaranteed access to tickets, or be provided them free, as will be the case in Canada.
