Online Ticket Purchase To Become New Olympic Sport

by Shaky Parkinson

After the epic demands placed onto the Internet this morning Olympic Chief Count Rogge has declared that Online Ticket Purchasing will become a regular fixture of the events.

The hoorah started at 6am proper time, when two million left over curling tickets went on sale to the general public.  The competition was fierce and only the top computer literates were gifted with the seats of their choice.

Having seen the enthusiasm and monetary profits from the newly recognised sport Rogge commented, "If we get this one off the ground it might knock my Forbes Rating up to no.66."

Ian Cludgley, a computer geek from Swindon who was the first to successfully complete the purchasing process is currently in talks with the British Olympic Association about forming a one-man team for the next games.

He went onto to chatter, "This is a new sport that has taken the world by storm and I want to be a part of that.  Having worked in IT for over twenty years has given me the skills I need to take Britain to the top.  I feel..."  Cludgley was unavailable to elaborate because his talktalk connection suddenly evaporated and his MSN feed died.

"What we can take from this is that filling out online forms is something that the British people have come to love and excel at, and Cludgley is the man for the job" said BOA's head Colin Moynihan, "That medal is as good as ours."

The Government were quick to praise the sport saying, "It will probably be good for young people and they are all that matter."
