And did you consider tickets to the Paralympics instead, which was also

You're joking , right? The paralympics were a slightly sad, slightly comical
me-too event. The only people who took it seriously were the participants and
the right-on media. And the viewing figures pretty much bear that out. A lot
of the midly disabled atheletes who you can compared to the able bodied - for
example there was a cyclist with a deformed hand - were barely of club level
ability and shouldn't have been let anywhere near an olympic flame. The only
reason there were there was because of their disability, not their ability.
