The delays are being blamed for sluggish ticket sales, with ju st slightly less than half of the 5.3 million tickets still unsold. Organiz ers hope to sell 3.4 million before Friday’s opening ceremony. “I call upon the Greek public to come to the venues and to cheer for their teams and to cheer for the o th e r te a m s ," IO C p re sid e n t Jacques Rogge said Monday after a tour of the main Olympic complex w ith c h ie f o r g a n iz e r G ia n n a Angelopoulos-Daskalaki.
