I still cant get over the prices of the Olympic tickets.
For anybody who hasn't seen the prices here is a reminder:
http://media.ticketmaster.com/og/en-...icketprice.pdf
For athletics:
PRELIMINARY: £150 £95 £65 £40 £20
FINALS: £450 £295 £150 £95 £50
SUPER FINAL: £725 £420 £295 £125 £50
Who in their right mind would pay 150 pounds for a morning session?
Do the finals tickets include that days morning session?
WTF is the "Super Final"? Is it any day that Usain Bolt is expected to run a final? Is it the final night of the games? Or is it a sort of Magic Monday type day that they had in Sydney 2000 with 9 finals on the one night?
For athletics I am going to put my name down for every night but only for the 95 and 50 pound tickets. I wonder if you manage to get tickets to every night that you applied for are you obliged to take them all or can you turn some of them down?
Outside of athletics I'm not sure if I will bother with the rest. Its much too expensive when I can watch it on TV for free and probably get a better view of the action.
At least I know plenty of people in London so free accomodation anyway.
