John Harnden Quotations

It is estimated that 20 per cent of all 1.5 million tickets sold so far are to visitors to Melbourne.

Ticket sales have been absolutely amazing.. we've sold over 1.3 million tickets more than any other commonwealth games by a long long way.

There has been strong demand for accommodation in Melbourne at Games time, but there is still a range of options.

I want people to go away from the games with memories they will treasure all their lives. I want the games to captivate people in Australia and beyond. I want to showcase a great event, a great city and a great country.

The games are about more than one person...I don't think it costs us anything in terms of a cold, hard cost.

The Games are about more than one person.
