Quite fancied going to the olympics as a one off event for my life time but it looks like that dream is fading now.

Basically where are the concessions? I assume that the Olympic commitee do know that people live outside of London? The cost of travelling down to London and staying in London is extremely prohibitive normally, without factoring in olympic ticket prices, the undoubted hike in prices by both train companies hotel companies during the olympic weeks and I can see the catering being absolutely extorniate.

My other point is why is there blue riband events? If the seats are being decided on a ballot when over subscribed. This ballot should apply to all seats and prices be all the same. this would ensure that the Olympics that we have all paid for has equal accesiblity to all.

As usual something the average Joe has actual paid for is moved out of his financial reach.
