Olympic Rip off

I really wanted to go to one of the events too. LOOK at these prices—it's disgusting. 

Opening ceremony: £2,012, £1,600, £995, £150, £20.12.

Closing ceremony: £1,500, £995, £655, £150, £20.12.

Each sport’s event will have the same number of tickets in each price bracket. Some events have varying prices for quarter-finals and semi-finals and men’s/women’s events.

Equestrian – Dressage: preliminary £95, £65, £40, £20; final £275, £175, £95, £65.

Equestrian – Eventing (dressage, jumping only): preliminary £95, £65, £40, £20; final £150, £95, £55, £35.

Equestrian – Eventing (cross-country only): preliminary £55.

Equestrian – Jumping: preliminary £95, £65, £40, £20; final £275, £175, £95, £65.

well, sadly I only wanted to see the ceremonies or the equestrians, so there's no rehearsals for them! LOL - and again- very sadly, no figure skating in the summer - don't know what events there would be rehearals for for summer?

You never know, for the equestrian events they may have warm-up times that you may be able to go to! They are usually posted later and are on the same day as the bigger events, but earlier in the day. -g- I do realise that there's no skating, of course, haha. :D It's worth checking out, though... Maybe sign up for email notifications from the site, since they tend to be posted closer to the time :) *checks email history* The Winter Olympics were in Feb, and it looks as though the tickets were posted in December, so two months before. I imagine events like gymnastics and such may have rehearsal/training times.
