London Olympic Games ticket prices announced

15 October 2010, 11:54

Looks like the 100m men's final is king of the Olympics.

BBC News - London Olympic Games ticket prices are announced
Tickets | London 2012

How do these things work, do you mill around for the rest of the day after seeing the event you paid for not being able to see anything?

Yes. You get a ticket for a specific session/sport. So if you buy a ticket for the morning session of the athletics you can't stay on for the evening session. (this is how it worked at the Athens games anyway)

Bloomin Olympics. Can't stand 'em what with all the blanket coverage of minority sports that somebody British is likely to do well in.

Expect these Olympics to be 10 times as bad, there will be no escape.

I'm going away somehwere where there is no television for that particular fortnight.

How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

Hopefully your flight will crash into a mountain and you'll be the only fatality.

Grice I have an idea for you. Why dont you sleep off the entire fortnight ? Just take about 15 sleeping pills to last that long.

Vote Corbyn ! Save this country !

So is it worth going, with all the aggro and expense of getting there, only to see a 9.7 second race?

Buy tickets for the 10000 metres and then you'll get your money's worth.

Some of us have already seen the men's 100m final at the Olympics

Probably the most amazing thing I have seen in my life.
