According to the Voice of China "Global Chinese Broadcasting Network" reported, because it is held in the local community, the British people this year to see the Olympic Games unprecedented enthusiasm. However, tickets for the London Olympics are now expensive and difficult to buy, to see the opening ceremony of the most expensive tickets for more than 20,000 yuan, we must know that four years ago, the most expensive tickets for the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics only 5,000 yuan. In this regard, the British people complained a lot, full of complaints. British observer Hou Ying of the Global Chinese Broadcasting Network (GCBN) makes this observation.
The London Olympics ticket price is high, the highest ticket price for the opening ceremony of the London Olympics is 2012 pounds, which is about 20,356 yuan, much higher than the highest 5,000 yuan ticket price for the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics. The highest ticket price for the 100-meter flyer battle on the track reached 725 pounds, or 7,335 yuan, while at the Beijing Olympics four years ago, viewers only needed to spend 50 yuan to 800 yuan to buy a ticket to enjoy the track and field competition at the Bird's Nest.
It is also worth mentioning that the men's 10-meter platform diving final, where Britain's Daly is expected to strike gold, has reached a maximum ticket price of 450 pounds, or about 4,553 yuan, which is not only higher than that of other diving events, but also exceeds that of the men's soccer final, which is the most expensive at 185 pounds, or 1,872 yuan.
Live coverage of major events on big screens in some parts of the city during the event has long been the norm for competitions around the world. The London Olympics are no exception, but each spectator will have to pay at least 10 pounds, or 101.4 yuan, for a ticket to see the games on a big screen in London's Olympic Park. The venue can accommodate a limited number of people, if not controlled there is a risk of overcrowding, the fear of security problems, which is the London Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games related staff to explain the reason for the high ticket prices.
So in addition to the outdoor big screen, for mountain biking, sailing and other competitions held outdoors, the London Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games does not intend to let the audience to see in vain, they are ready to set up segregated areas in order to sell tickets to reduce the flow of onlookers.
The British newspaper "Daily Mail" published the London Olympic food and drink price list, during the Olympic Games for security reasons, the Organizing Committee does not allow viewers to bring their own water or drinks into the Olympic Games, if the audience is thirsty either with their own empty bottles of water in the free water points on the water, or have to spend 1.8 pounds, about 18.3 yuan to buy a bottle of 500 milliliters of pure water, and a bottle of 550 milliliters of mineral water sold only in the Beijing Olympics. milliliter bottle of mineral water at the Beijing Olympics cost only 3 yuan.
At the Olympic Park, it costs 5.9 pounds, or about 60 yuan, to buy a hot dog, 40 pounds, or about 406.6 yuan, for an average family lunch, and a pound, or about 10 yuan, for the cheapest snacks listed by the organizing committee. By comparison, the highest-priced self-heating boxed lunch at the Beijing Olympics cost just 20 yuan.
Lastly to look at the accommodation, during the Olympics London hotel prices and short-term rental prices will soar, spend the money to live in a five-star hotel may not be able to find a bed, in the Olympic venues concentrated in East London, some short-term housing, the most exaggerated rents have reached the usual 20 times, despite the price of strange, but the consultation is still a steady stream of people.
