Who knows in their time might have been another London Olympics.....just a thought(Original post by Arekkusu)
If I was a real person with a job and such I might consider it, just to say to my grandchildren I'd been to the historic Olympics

Re: Would you pay £1600 for a ticket to the Opening Ceremony ?no, never. Even if the ticket was free i wouldn't go - sounds boring, and not my kinda thing! Only thing i'd pay to go see is women's beach volleyball!(Original post by extom)
I 've just been on the official ticket website and there's still tickets available for the opening ceremony. There's two choices left £1600 each or the rather strangely priced £2012 each.
bear in mind what you're paying to see is a field with some animals that's meant to represent the British countryside and a concert, is it really worth £1600 to see that?

I don't think I would even pay £50 or £20 or whatever for a ticket to it. I'm not really that interested in it all.
Though I do understand why some people would pay those amounts for a ticket, as it is a once in a lifetime opportunity...

I kno it's all about the experience, and you probably won't see another Olympics live until you're 80! But you can watch it all on TV to be honest, and you could buy a car for £1600, go on a very nice holiday, or put down a deposit for a flat!
