So ... I wanted to take the family on the opening ceremony ... make the kids happy you know

but then went to the ticketing it's like $400 per person so wtf

.. that's soooo expensive (or am I too poor)... anyway enough whinging now ... took the kids to yarra and it's great there, lots of people & kids ...

So i'm wondering is there any other goodies we can look from outside like practice, fireworks, F18, etc ??

I only had to do one day of Baton Relay when it was here. Was a bloody waste of time and tax payers money.

Cant be costing any more than the 14 million to have the Queen here
