>> Each Athletics event, each Swimming event, each event the seating is different. You may sit in an AA seat one night and a few nights later its a B seat.
One of the many goofy things LOCOG is doing that makes no sense. An A seat should be an A seat period. Rowing is a good example of the oddness. The first two medal days they are selling A-E tickets. The last two they are selling AA-D tickets. But the prices seem to be the same. The first two days have A for 150, B for 95, etc. The next two days the AA's are 150, the A's are 95, etc. Gotta believe it's the exact same seats for the same price. But today you are in B, tomorrow you are in A. Why?

My point exactly, hence why we have not and will not see detailed seating plans
Why? Because this is LOCOG and its their way of filling the gaps in their budget. What I do know from first hand experience is that when there was a Government change in the UK, part of the budget was adjusted by 160Mil pounds, so they changed the seating and increased allocations in the AA and A and Prestige Seating, and that reduced it by 100Mil pounds - simple process and no one cares really.
