If they use the same rude, foul-mouthed little Hitlers they were using

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
=A395 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 £10 to get in
and have a walk round during the Paralympics.


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

Here's a couple of links to what is not permitted in Olympic venues.
With water costing £1.60 a bottle, it does make me wonder whether its
being run by BAA

what part of :

"free drinking water is available at the venue" do you not understand?
