Court blocks 12 websites for 'misleading' Olympic ticket sales

By Gavin Clarke


20,000 tickets shifted



Twelve websites are being blocked by British authorities under for the unauthorised sale of tens of thousands of tickets to the Olympics.

The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) said it had secured an interim enforcement order from the High Court blocking the sites’ further sale of tickets and giving British authorities the ability to re-direct potential buyers to a holding page with a warning message from the Metropolitan Police, Serious Organized Crime Agency (SOCA) and the OFT. The order was granted Monday.

The sites named are londonsummergames.org, londonsummergames.net, summergames2012.org, olympicticket.info, 2012tickets.org, euroteamtickets.com, euroteam.info, euroteam.net, euroteam.travel, euroteamtickets.wordpress.com, us.euroteam.info and worldticketservice.net.
