London,Jan26,2012:It was the promise of the legacy, it is commonly agreed, that won the Games for London, that and David Beckham. But babies will not be welcome at the Summer Olympics, to the undisguised fury of ticket-holding parents. Organizers of the 2012 Games have confirmed that every child, including young babies carried by parents, will require their own ticket, even those who hadn't been conceived when the tickets were purchased. One of many angry parents on the influential website Mumsnet described it as the "biggest rip-off in the history of London". Around a third of the Olympics sessions had special 'pay your age' prices for those under 16, but for those events that didn't parents with newly born children find themselves in the position of having to buy new, and in some cases, full-price tickets costing more than £100 for their child.
