No re-entry is a complete joke, especially given what the tickets cost.

Can I say just how happy I am Chicago did not get the 2016 Olympics?
To be fair about the unsold tickets they are mostly for football where we have vast stadiums to fill for matches that nobody cares about. Football is probably one of the least prestigious Olympic competitions.
I'd say not allowing even water is even worse. Water should be free.Quote:

Agreed water is completely excessive. That's a safety issue.
Presumably medication will be allowed? Then you'd have to buy a bottle of water in order to take your drugs?
What about a bag of sweets? To most people a snack, to a diabetic, life or death.
Oh and it's £7 a pint apparently.
I agree it is all way too OTT and FUBARed. However, I vote with my feet, and will be enjoying a quiet life in Scotland while all the wallahs who bought tickets pay through the nose for everything and find out just how shyte our public transport really is! ;)
Mind you, I'm buggered for the Paralympics, as we live 10 minutes from Brands Hatch, and the area will no doubt be locked down in a security/HSE complete wet dream of overkill.
For those in the UK, last weeks Question Time mulled over the Olympics briefly. Griff-Rhyss Jones made a very good point.....
There would be a REVOLUTION in any civilised country...Quote:

I read in the paper this morning that you are allowed to take in an empty bottle and fill it from drinking fountains inside the stadium.
