    My mate at work tells me its only a tenner for tickets to most of the events, whereas it was closer to a grand per ticket for the 'normal' olympics. Does that mean a para-olympian is only worth 0.1% of the value?

    I thought it was a bit mean really.

      I think that the biggest discrimination happened with the olympic closing ceremony. Surely the closing ceremony should happen after the paralympics?

        This kind of thing must be a nightmare to organize, I'm guessing there are good reasons, explained in the artical.
        Whatever you do you are bound to upset someone.
