This just in ... reporters queue all night for tickets

Reporters at the Beijing International Media Center (BIMC) have been putting in a lot of extra hours lately, not only on their stories, but also queuing up to buy Games tickets.

At 10 am each day, about 200 tickets go on sale there on a first come, first served basis.

Tao Jing, from the Xinhua News Agency's Jiangsu bureau, said he arrived at the sales office at 3 am yesterday, but even then he was only 14th in line.
