Olympic ticket prices

Sappa

Here's a good idea in the UK,for the olympics the prices for kids tickets are to be reflected by there age.
For a 4 yr old it's 4 quid and eight yr old it's 8 and it's capped at a tenner for certain events.
Do you think it would work for sporting events here and encourage parents to bring the kids along to get them involved with sport if the price is fair,surely that's a good thing.

What is the story at the moment? Do the tickets sell out? If so, no alteration is needed.

I think kids tickets are free or about €5 for rugby matches here, dunno about everything else.
Same thing really.

I want you to run my business!!! It would be awesome, and kids would love it and so would their parents and everything would just be so great!!!


And then we'd go bust.

They are generally cheap enough here, no? Not the fairest of comparisons as Olympic ticket adult prices are mad, artistic gymnastics ones are all over £200 and I would imagine all the other popular spectator sports are commanding the same prices or higher.

This is only for certain limited sessions at the Olympics. Most sessions and nearly all medal finals kids pay full price.

There's enough going around CT sites about that.

There's something a little bit wanky about everybody I know who keeps going on about the Olympic tickets they've ordered....
