Olympic ticket prices can be found here

Cycling - Track Olympic Park - Velodrome Preliminary M/W Yes £150 £95 £65 £40 £20
Final M/W £325 £225 £150 £95 £50

£725 to watch the 100m final from a good vantage point? How can they justify that?

Normal folk will be priced out of everything worth watching. I'm going to win some tickets on Kiss FM

£2k for a decent view of the opening ceremony...

90% of tickets below £100, 2/3rds below £50, 2.5million below £20

I think that's the idea. Wouldn't want pics of locla people eating chips in the stands being shown throughout the world now would we?

They don't go on sale until next year, right?

Yep - March 2011

Pretty high, but kinda understandable. I'll be sure to start saving.

LFGSS banner? HA!

LFGSS banner? HA!

If we block booked a section, maybe we could wear different coloured hats/t-shirts to spell out LFGSS in large letters on a coloured back ground :)

Can we get that photo wall in?
Here's the plan. Just before the madison we sneak up behind all the riders and selotape the photos onto their jerseys in order, so they ride round spelling LFGSS.

I literally cannot think of a way in which that plan could fail.

or tour de france style road paint on the boards?

Call me pessimist but I'm predicting a few empty seats.

For the best view. I'm gonna get the cheapest ones I can and be there, for sure.

Damn straight. Would be nice for a packed house though.

I would just like 'some' tickets for some cycling and maybe some archery. That would be nice.

Is midget tossing in as an exhibition sport yet?

£325 fucking quid! Fuck right off.

£150 for 90 mins of qualification.

Fuck off.

I've fucking paid for this shit give me a fucking discount.

Twats!

Holy Fucking Hoy!
I'd just registered, but i think i'll de-register... all interest at that rate ^

for reasons of fairness I should point out you can get tickets for £50 too. Still bloody expensive.

I reckon Herne Hill should do a rival event where various forum members dress up like the olympic stars and re run the Olympic event BUT with the addition of the pursuit!

^that is a great idea.. in fact we could just do an alternative.. costs you nowt to watch some epic events around london..

^ good point loads of free stuff - 2 road races, 2 time trials (anyone know the route?) and the triathalon.

Also some not so good stuff like the 50km walk.

I'm tempted to dress like a twat and run up Box Hill to keep them company like they do on the big mountains in Europe. Well except 1) it'll be barriered off 2) Box Hill won't slow them down that much and 3) I can't run. Other than that top plan I think

Fuck. Max 4 tickets for opening ceremony. Will have to Sophie's Choice my children.

Selection methods:

a) Last out, last in.
b) Boys only.
c) Best exam results.
d) Mario Kart qualifying round.

Hmm.
