If they use the same rude, foul-mouthed little Hitlers they were using
on Sunday as crowd control, I very much doubt it. I got my Olympic
tickets for the weightlifting at the Excel yesterday. No liquids,
airport style security, just to get in the venue. Does that mean take
your belt and shoes off just to get into a sporting event that costs
=3DA395 for 2 hours? I wonder how much they're going to fleece you for a
bottle of water once you get in? I paid for the tickets just for the
Olympic experience, I have no interest in weightlifing. I'm now
wondering why I bothered


Anyone who wants to see the Olympic Park without paying an Olympic
price for a ticket to watch an event can apparently pay =A310 to get in
and have a walk round during the Paralympics.


Cost you £15 on top to go up that red tower thing though



No chance. I saw the monstrosity from the A12 a couple of weeks ago
and that was more than enough for me. ;-)
