    Tons of empty seats at London Olympic Venues

    I know a bunch of UK webmasters and not one I've asked cares anything about London hosting the Olympics and by the empty seats it looks like it's more than adult webmasters who don't care.

    what a waste of taxpayers money, not like London is a city that needed more exposure to be looked at as a world class city.
    I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!

      i am not interested in it.

      yes its a waste of cash.

      though the report says that the tickets went to sposers who have not used them.

      anyway, i am glad its a disaster.

      the fun thing is to read how many problems they have each day.

      i think its great that with the 4 million security, somone just walked in and pretended to be part of the indean team. so all thaqt security and it does not work.

      just hope it rains each day.

              It's always the hospitality seats at events like this that end up empty as the people they are reserved for are too busy having champagne poured into them outside in a tent.

                          The opening ceremony was pretty lame.

                              Wow some of you really don't get the worth to the world of the Olympics do you?

                              Unreal.

                              DV - you can't hold an event the size of this, or even a 100th the size of this for that matter, and not have problems on a daily basis. I challenge you to try though.

                              Rooting for the problems and being amused by then is what's lame guys.

                              I thought the opening ceremonies were well done, actually. Very nice comment on Britain and the UK as a whole.

                              Looking forward to today's events.

                                  Correct. I don't watch the Games. I couldn't care less about what happens there, but I'd be pissed if the country I live in decided to organize it.

                                  It's a pure waste of money. It took the people of Montreal 30 years to pay off the debt from the 1976 Games. The 2004 Games in Athens seriously worsened Greece's financial and economic situation. Beijing displaced 1.5 million people to host the 2008 Games. All for some mega vanity project.

                                      There is a reason that most of the "sports" in the Olympics don't have regular TV coverage.

                                      Most people couldn't care less about most of the "sports" in the Olympics.

                                                  Actually los angeles games was profitable so it's possible to make it work but yes in most cases it's a serious money lose which is why i think games should be regularly in countries which knows how to make money on it like usa or china.And who knows maybe London games will be profitable too considering all crap which they were doing.

I saw yesterday they had fences along the entire 200km bike rice.... Does that happen anywhere else? The riders participate in much smaller events with no fences... So there's an example of a gross exaggerance that wasn't really necessary. But they want to go all the way with security, for whatever reason. They make it more expensive than it needs to be.

                                                                              I think a country needs to win the games and then go full frugal budget with it, to make a statement that it's supposed to be about the athletes and the competition, not a show of power, luxury and vanity to the world.

To be honest i would rather see the money get wasted on an event like this than see it spent on more benefit scrounging cunts.

I have no clue what your political affiliations are. I'm sure this post is a result of your observations and nothing more. I've noticed pretty much the same thing. The only beef I have with you is that you let "Cookie" disappear. She was hot!

                                                                                                              But this whole "Olympic seats are empty" storyline is what Matt Drudge and his nimrods are trying to push into the "mainstream media" in an attempt to lessen Romney's gaffes. So we can all look back and say..."Mitt was right".

                                                                                                                      It seems like the last few Olympics there have been stories about how tickets were very expensive and many events were way below capacity. If I remember right in the last winter Olympics they were even giving away tickets to some events just to fill the seats so it didn't look bad on TV.

Although the seats are the ones that were going for the premium prices. Sure if you want to go see female weight lifting you can pay £245 for the pleasure, not. Likewise there are plenty of seats still available for the closing ceremony, apart from the fact they are £995 and £1500. The bit about corporate tickets is a just a media dig, the reality is they don't have a price reduction for last minute purchases. You'll find pretty much all the £20 tickets are gone apart from a few odd sports at non-park locations

The lower level of the stadium was only about 70% full and the top two levels were empty. I guess that stadium is about two hours from London which might have had something to do with it, but I figured such a big game would have drawn a bigger crowd.

That stadium holds 75811. LOL It is home to Man Utd. So if it was even 50% full that means 35000 people watched the game live.
