Ticket sales for the Turin 2006 Winter Olympic Games remain sluggish just two and a half months before the Games begin, with about 60 per cent of tickets sold against a target of 82 percent, reports Reuters.
Turin 2006 said Thursday that hockey, ice speed skating, figure skating and alpine skiing were among the most popular events.
TOROC Chairman Valentino Castellani said he expects a last-minute rush for tickets once Italians see the Olympic Relay and are reminded that the Games are about to begin.
The Olympic torch relay begins December 8 and the 2006 Games will run from February 10-26.
