Looks like LOCOGs 'elitist' ticketing policy has come full circle to bite them on the ****...
The amount of empty seats at a lot of the events today is tragic and sad. And the alleged reason? Many (all?) of said seats were set aside for sponsors, rather than the general public.
Sickening really, the evident, "I don't give a stuff about the games, I just want my bloody millions!", city banker-like attitude of these sponsors.
As has already been argued, this whole corporate whoring bollox goes against the whole ethos of what the games are about.
But then we already new this would prob. happen due to the ticket allocation debacle on the run up to the games. Groan.

Also how was it not going to be elitist given it has been organised by a Lord? LOL!

Lord Coe (sic) has just stated the Olympic venues were "stuffed to the gunnels"!!!
Why say something that is a blatant lie? It's like Beijing all over again! W4nker!

Suffice to say, even though we've been hosts for three times, 2012 is certain to be our last...
...So 'enjoy' it while it lasts.
To paraphrase SLJ's famous Jackie Brown line:-
"G4S. For when you absolutely, positively got to **** up everything, accept no substitute."
