Today I received an email regarding Olympic ticket sales happening this with weekend. I started thinking about an article I read last week in a freebie newspaper that commented "sports fans are becoming serial competition entrants".

In the build up to the games the likes of BT and Coca-Cola are using the tickets they get through sponsorship deals to lure people to giving away their precious details in return for a small chance of going to the games, I am starting to wonder, with the ruckus of the original ticket scandals (I mean sales) where masses of people were left ticketless, will this cause companies deliverability issues.

I wonder if during the games the ISPs will see a spike of abuse complaints with angry subscribers who are fed up with not being at the games but being flooded with a magnitude of games related marketing messages they are now receiving due to a desperate attempt at being there.
