Cost to attend London Olympic Games in 2012?

Question

hello all, i am interested in attending the London Olympic Games in 2012, wondering how much do i have to budget for airfare, hotel, entertainment, and to attend opening ceremony, closing ceremony, swimming events, beach volleyball, track and field events, and gymnastics. and also for souvenirs

Answer 1

$1000 won't even begin to cut it, unless all  you are paying for is airfare and you do it super cheap.

Your airfare alone could be $1200

Hotel for 2 weeks $1200

Entertainment (not including Olympic events) $500

Tickets to events $60-200 per event, some may be more

Food (you could possibly do this cheap) $500

Souveniers $150

These are purely guesstimates and on the low side, I would think.  Remember 1 pound is equal to about $2.00 and things can be more expensive in London than in the USA.

Answer 2

Try googling it. Why should I look it up for you?

Answer 3

$1000+

Answer 4

some where over $1000
