Organisers of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics have decided to scrap assigned seat tickets in certain sections at some sports and venues, including the main stadium.
Under the plan, spectators with general admission tickets will be able to sit where they like to watch sports including boxing, weight lifting, badminton, table tennis, BMX, field hockey, rowing, triathlon and archery.
It will also affect spectators with the cheapest category of tickets for some of the sessions of track and field and soccer.
Organisers said in such cases the ticket would be assigned to a block or sector of the stadium, rather than a specific seat or row.
Different ticket price categories will still apply at all venues.
