Get your tickets here!

Olympic tickets data has just been released, evidently it took one of the London councils a great deal of prising to get this, then it confirms their worst fears - a lot of tickets were given away for free!! Shock horror, what sort of right minded Olympic organiser would do this abominable thing?? Well, all of them I guess, if it means being able to stage an Olympics at a reasonable cost to the taxpayer.  What did they expect?  Higher priced tickets?  Lower prices but higher funding from the taxpayer?  There really are some short sighted people out there.  My guess is that they are still miffed about getting turned down for ticket allocations and can't see the big picture.  Why can't they all be sensible like me?
