Best London Olympics 2010 Tickets Already Taken By Corporate Kids
LONDON Olympics 2012: It will cost you £725 to watch the men’s 100m final from decent seat. And those are the seats not occupied by well-padded corporate and political bottoms.
There are 8.8 million tickets on sale form March 2010. But only 75% will be sold to the public. Good news, then, that at least 25% of the seats will be taken up. No swathes of empty seats like in Delhi’s Commonwealth Games.
But those already taken seats are mostly the good ones.
Oh, and a ticket for the opening ceremony will set you back between £20.12 and £2,012. It’s all very egalitarian.
But the most patronising thing about the ticketing system is that 125,000 tickets are earmarked for schoolchildren who will have to achieve something to earn them.
Unless, you’re a child of school age related to a mum or dad high on the corporate ladder, in which case grab your official McDonald’s meal, push an official Cadbury’s snack in your face, sit back and relax…
