London 2012

Anyone getting tickets?

Was just looking at the Boxing - farqin heck some of the prices are ridic, £75-£95 for a session

£30 for the Womens beach volleyball looks tempting however.....

(though the finals cheapest ticket is £95-£450!)

Women's Beach Volleyball? In this country? There's bound to be pairs of nips all over the place. I shan't bother though, anti-wanking laws and all that.

In all seriousness, no, no way - overpriced bollocks.

I'm an event whore though

The feckers are charging £50 to stand on the Mall for the Marathon!! FFS

I'd rather have my nuts used as a speedball by a midget.

Quite amazing, it really is. I should've known that it would get to these sort of hysterical levels. Wonder how much money it'll cost to get out of this country for a while, we're desperate souls for months before and after a big event.

Trev's going dressed as Lisa Simpson.

There's cheaper £20 - 30 tickets for the early stages of most events, have already applied for the football at Wembley, athletics at the Olympic Stadium*, cycling at the Velodrome** and tennis at Wimbledon***. Might go back in again for the more premium tickets at the Olympic stadium.****

* To perv at Jessica Ennis
** To perv at Vicky Pendleton
*** To perv at the likes of Sharapova
****Just for the atmosphere

Yes, but are the £20-30 tickets optimum Perving spots? Or are they stuck behind the 20 stone sweaty bloke at the back?

www.cameltoe.com would be a far cheaper option.

Very much doubt they're close enough to get any up one piece/cycling shorts/skirt photos. Balance between paying OTT for better seats or just being 'part' of the atmosphere I guess.

They'll be playing in parkas and mittens. On gravel. In a pub car park.

Blackpool "Beach" ?

Might be making a trip over for the games, but the official packages for overseas spectators are a bit steep.
