Olympic Rip off

[erastes]

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.

It was never going to be cheap, despite the hype about it being for the people of England - sorry, Great Britain.
I suppose if you are a rabid sports fan,having had several years to save for it, you might think it worth the money, especially if you live close enough to get cheap travel on National Express or what used to be British Rail. I am just glad that I have absolutely less than no interest in any of it - I am just fuming they have had the audacity to have the opening ceremony on MY birthday!!! Do they not know the nation has more important things to celebrate than some poxy games?
