VOICED : Sochi: entradas vendidas, asientos vacios

The Sochi Winter Olympics began with enthusiasm but many empty seats. Organizers attribute low attendance to strict security measures due to terrorist threats near the unstable Caucasus region. Despite selling over 59,000 tickets, actual attendance was lower, though most stadiums sold over 90% of tickets. Photos showed full stadiums, but the figure skating event, a Russian favorite, had only a third of its 12,000 seats filled. Organizers urge attendees to arrive early, noting the Russian habit of arriving last minute.
