Eager fans swarmed Olympic ticket sales windows in Beijing on Friday, desperate to secure a pass to next month's main event.
The final batch of 820,000 tickets, including 250,000 for events in the capital, went on sale at 9 am, much to the delight of the 30,000 people queuing outside a booth at the Bird's Nest, some of whom had been there for several days.
