No Problems Reported During Commonwealth Games Ticket Sale Relaunch

No problems "have been reported with the re-launched sale of Commonwealth Games tickets after last week's attempt was suspended amid technical issues," according to the BBC. Organizer Glasgow 2014 said that the first phase of the sale, which began on Wednesday, "had been busy with thousands of people securing tickets." It said customer feedback "had been positive and there were no queues." A spokesperson said, "While it's been busy, there are currently no queues and there are thousands of customers who have been successfully securing tickets. We've also been seeing lots of positive feedback on social channels" (BBC, 5/21). The SCOTSMAN reported Commonwealth Games bosses are confident sports fans trying to buy tickets for the tournament will have a “much better experience.” It also emerged that some fans who called the dedicated phone line "were charged while listening to an engaged tone, with some customers running up bills" of more than £100 ($168) (SCOTSMAN, 5/21).
