A woman complains about unfairness while policemen try to keep order, as thousands of people wait in line for more than 24 hours to buy Olympic tickets in Beijing, on July 25, 2008.

Unwashed, unfed, and lacking sleep, scores of Chinese queued for their last chance at the tickets, with police straining to hold back crowds that threatened to break barricades. Tickets for the Beijing Games have officially sold out.
