SOUNDBITE: (English) Donovan Ferreti, Rio 2016 Ticketing Director:

"We are in the first phase of the draw so we are very happy with the demand that there has been and that we are having now. It's more than 5.4 million tickets requested so it's a great number. We are very happy because we have demand for all the states in Brazil and for all disciplines, for the 42 disciplines. So we are very happy with the numbers until now."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Donovan Ferreti, Rio 2016 Ticketing Director:

"This is very interesting. So probably volleyball is the first one (most popular) because it's one where we have a great chance of a medal. So if you see, the team sport is in the top because you have more chances to win a medal in those."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Donovan Ferreti, Rio 2016 Ticketing Director:

"for this specific one, you have a big demand but not in total. So you have a big demand for the sports that are more related to our culture. So because of that you have volleyball as the first one and the second ones football and basketball. So it's the sports most related with our culture but if you see a specific session, a specific basketball session. So we have huge demand for that one."
