Sports fans are being urged to hurry for Olympic tickets

SPORTS fans in Chester are being urged to hurry up and get tickets for next year’s Olympic games.

Staff at Thomas Cook say there has been a “boom” at its Chester stores, in Bridge Street and Northgate Row South, in bookings for Olympic ticket packages.

Cheshire and North Wales regional sales manager Matt Harding said: “Last week was our busiest so far, with people unlucky in the ballot visiting our local Chester stores for ticket packages, as fans hope to secure themselves a seat at the Games.

“Although a number of events are selling out, we still have limited availability in some of the most popular sports that have been oversubscribed in the ballot.”
