Glasgow Games ban for Olympic ticket scammer

An Olympic tickets scammer who sold up to 15,000 seats has been banned from selling tickets for next year's Commonwealth Games unless he has them.

Andreas Gyrre's companies took orders for up to 20,000 tickets for last year's London Olympics, despite only holding about 5000.

The High Court in London imposed the order on the businessman and his Norwegian enterprises after being told of concerns about Glasgow 2014.
