Many thousands more sports fans were only successful for part of their application but London 2012 say they have no figures on how many that number is.Even those people who have ended up empty-handed on two occasions now cannot make another application during this window, which closes on 3 July.London 2012 say they are looking at ways of making sure that they do not miss out again when the 1.3 million contingency tickets go on sale next year.A spokeswoman said: "Our aim is to get as many of these people as possible to the Games and we are thinking and working through how we are going to do that."The only tickets available until next year are in football, volleyball and wrestling.The latest issue over tickets was caused by the computer system run by Ticketmaster. Organisers say this was on a first-come, first-served basis but that system was not live – meaning that people were able to submit applications for some tickets even though they had already sold out.Olympic ticketsOlympic Games 2012guardian.co.ukandcopy; Guardian News and Media Limited 2011 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms and Conditions | More Feeds
