I've said from the start, its a total rip off. :y
Have you seen the Hotel prices ....over doubled in price at the minimum.
Its going to cost us dearly in the end....just to allow the ego's of a few like 'Lord' Coe to be  fulfilled >:(
Recession.....what recession!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To be honest.....as we have two spare rooms, I did hint to the wife about renting them out for the two weeks, after I heard the rental prices that were being charged. We are only 50 mins from London, so would probably get takers. :y
Just gonna word the ad now....Female only, must be under 30...lol lol lol ;D ;D ;D

There'll be plenty of aviation related businesses going under, I suspect, thanks to the utterly draconian airspace restrictions being put in place for this pointless event.

Still, it'll save me spending too much money on gliding.

I will be finding somewhere to hide for the duration. Nothing could possibly interest me less. >:(

http://olympics.airspacesafety.com/

http://www.nats.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/London2012OlympicsCASTConsultation.pdf

Basically a restricted zone from Reading in the West to Clacton in the East, North as far as Bassingbourne and South as far as Burgess hill from mid July to mid September. Access to the zone includes hurdles which makes their use by a lot of gliders, microlights and light aircraft impossible. Filing of flight plans in advance and following them, for example. Impossible for a glider dependant on the weather or a light aircraft at a flight school where movements are not known that far in advance.

Then a load of airspace around Southampton and Farnborough to cope with expected increases in traffic which will be a complete PITA.

All during the busiest couple of months in the year for small aviation businesses - i.e. the months that make their books balance.

Let the big boys rake in their profits from the olympics while the little guy suffers, as usual. >:(

I for one would have loved to have gone to watch several of the events, but the prices are crazy, who can afford a day out like that I ask you?
