The denial of that second ticket as far these flag ship sports is concerned is due to logistical reasons. The London organizers will still be trying to grab hold of that extra ticket for an athlete’s family in some sessions of an event. Say, morning track or filed sessions.
They will perhaps try their level best to get that extra ticket for the happiness of the athletes participating who find nothing more boosting then the presence of family members while they are participating in any sporting event.

The scenarios was quite bad in Beijing in 2008 when qualifying athletes where finding it difficult to get tickets for their family members. Great Britain fencer Claire Bennett spoke about the importance of family support and crowd support while playing in such events all the more when a game is in a delicate stage, crowd support or emotional strength as given by the presence of family members can do wonders for the athlete.
