London 2012 Olympics

Remaining tickets go on sale tomorrow (11am). Apparently there are still some left for the velodrome...

Again?
This is orwellian newspeak to make us feel balanced. It really means "there's no f+cking tickets for you c+cking plebs as we only want brainwashed corporate cola drinking McFlag-waving-fans"

I thought the latest(?) scandal was that there are loads of tickets left... at corporate rates, including velodrome stuff.

A lot of the tickets are < 1k so talk nicely to your boss.

^ But aren't most cyclists (at least on here) self-employed?

Then they can talk to themselves?

Why would you think this?

Why would you think this?

^This.

^ Purely speculation based on the increasing number of my own cyclist friends and cycling connections who are going freelance/setting up their own companies.

"Three million tickets remain to be sold"

"The slow speed of sales is surprising, considering the exceptional demand when tickets first went on sale last year"

"Ceremony tickets start from £995"

Hmmmm.

Are they taking the fucking piss?

Screw the Olympics? - Will the Olympics bring more prostitutes?

Hmmmm.

hey, i'll have you know the opening ceremony has been praised by seb coe
he's says it will be a once in a lifetime experience, surely £995 seems a bit of a bargain now

£1k? Fucking cunts.

Probably staffed by the jobless in exchange for 'work experience' who have to camp out in a rusty crisp packet in the canal for the duration of the games, so you know you are getting real quality protection and assistance when you're there.

What a wonderful opportunity for both public and employees alike!

a rusty crisp packet in the canal ... they don't know how lucky they are ( in a yorkshire accent ) when i were a lad we had to get up before we went to bed walk 20 miles to work pay them for the honour of working get whipped constantly for 24hrs a day
