London Olympics in 2012

I'm beside today as I just received confirmation from London Olympic Games ticket committee that they received my application. Usually the host country gets the first dibs on the ticket allocation. So as to get a head start I emailed our request to our good friends in Brentford, England so they can request the events we wish to see. To our delight after making a date to talk and see them via Skype they also want to go with us to the same events.  The games start on the 27thJuly 2012 with the Opening Ceremony that night at 7:30. After that we are looking forward to "Football" at Wembley Stadium, "Beach Volleyball"," Athletics" at the Olympic Stadium with Men's 100m, 200m final, 400 final, 400 hurdles and much more. All ticket holders receive a one day free transportation pass.  To give you an idea of our costs. Opening Ceremony start from $4k to $40, (ours $150 ea)  Beach Volleyball ours $90 ea, Football $30 and Athletics for the whole 4 hrs up to $900 (ours $180 ea). Rule of thumb is the bigger the venue like in the Stadium the cheaper the price. To travel in Greater London is expensive, so what we will do is use the FREE pass to say, go to a show or shopping then to the event.
