London Olympic organizers have released attendance figures for the first three days of the games:
?Saturday: 856,000, or 86 percent capacity. The figure includes all soccer and estimates that 500,000 people attended the road race.
?Sunday: 900,000, or 92 percent capacity. The figure includes soccer.
?Monday: 370,000, or 88 percent capacity. There was no soccer played on Monday.
Still, empty seats remain. London organizing committee spokeswoman Jackie Brock-Doyle said about 3,800 tickets were reclaimed Monday night for 30 Tuesday sessions spanning 15 sports. Brock-Doyle said almost all were snapped up by the British public via online sales.
