London 2012
 

We are in the process of buying tickets. They will be sold over the next month.

Would anybody be interested in coming to London for this fine event? I can order extra tickets to pretty much any event (I think.)

How does ticket pricing work out?

The same as any event. Better events, better seats > higher prices. But in general the face value of these tickets is much lower than I expect them to be in a year. So I'm going to buy a lot more than I need.

Okay, but I still don't know how much tickets cost.

They cost between 10 and 1400 pounds.

If you want to come you will have a free place to stay and we will be able to find afordable tickets. You can go to the Mens Basketball final, for example, for 95 pounds. A normal Basketball game will be more like 20.

Free place to stay for the Olympics? Hmm... color me interested. I want to see Usain Bolt.

As much as you might hate this, I would def. be interested in maybe a week of events. Now getting it approved through the GF is another story.

I'm down.

What events are you purchasing tix for?

Lots.

I trust tennis is included?

Yes - although I'd imagine the Olympics won't be as good as Wimbledon and if you want to do that we can do that any summer.

Hate?

You're more than welcome.

The Olympics is something that is on the bucketlist. I didn't figure I would have an oppurtunity to do it in another country, but that would be enjoyable. Of course, most of the week would be spent watching basketball. Is there a schedule of events and locations anywhere on the internet yet?


Edit: I forgot about boxing being a summer event. Man that would be one hell of a vacation.

Interested, but don't give a shit about the olympics.

It's out there. Google, my friend.

As for being in another country, London hardly counts. We sort-of speak English and the flight from NYC is barely 6 hours. Sounds like LA to me.

Who does?

This could be one hell of a Nubblies gathering, however. Especially if we put 10 people into my flat!

Oh, fooey. I can't make it.

I just got wood thinking of all you fine folk here. How about some fucking GRECO ROMAN WRESTLING to wet the palate? Or some MICHAEL PHELPS SWIMMING? OR SOME SOCCER? And it's the olympics so we get to make fun of eatern europeans.

HELL YEAH

Also it's my birthday and i'm drunk. Don;t tell my boss

I'm interested. The biggest expense would probably be the flight.

I'm coming.

With anybody else I'd assume you mean traveling to London.

You, however, I just don't know what you mean.

Olympic boxing is plain hard to watch as a boxing fan.

I would be interested though; weightlifting, judo, wrestling should all be cheap.

AP is in +1.

Add BDH to the list. I get an extra week of vaca and can book a flight on airmiles! Totally down for tennis, basketball, usain bolt, and beer
