Well, I was desperate to get good 100m tickets, so I paid a whopping $250 for a Section M tier 1 ticket, although its kinda in the back... anyone know how many rows in each section? There seems to be a lack of good tickets along the 100m runway.

As I recall, I think the "back row" on Tier 1 is Row 32, this is same for all Tier 1 Sectors around the stadium. The wheelchair area is just behind that with some non-continuous row seats for companions to sit adjacent. Right about Row 22-ish is where the front edge of Tier 2 structure above begins, in front of that is open air/uncovered. M is a good Tier 1 sector for events with sprints. (The ideal is Sector B near the finish line, but that's of course the media camera stands!) I personally like the second Tier in order to get a better view of all the field events. For this reason, I actually think you are better off sitting in the back half of Tier 1 rather than the front half--you get a little bit of height.

Not sure if this is the best place to put this but there are some great computer simulations of fly pass's of the olympic venues, puts Beijing more into perspective
