Maybe it's because the sponsors get/got their tickets first, and maybe those sponsors have now realized that they can't really afford to be so generous to encourage their business. Bottom line? Sponsors are making cuts and the tickets can now be offered to 'joe public'. If it were me looking for tickets (and I'm not) I would tell the Olympics Organization to stick the tickets where the sun doesn't shine! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

That's the only way I will see any of it all, even if the cycling does come our way. The roads here are in a shocking state ( when returning home from a long journey you can tell soon as you cross into the county how bad they really are). I suppose there will be a super smooth roadway here by the time the pantomime starts, just at the cost of any other road improvements around here. That's it I am off of my soapbox now.
