Dangerous bug in ticketing system

As has been widely reported there are loads of bugs in the Olympics ticketing system, none of which, as far as I can see, seem to have been fixed when Ticketmaster took the system off line for a few months in the Spring.
One of the most serious is that the system assigns tickets from a different value to the ones you have put in your basket. This has already been reported on here by other people. However, for the Closing Ceremony, it is especially dangerous, as the assigned ticket values differ by a factor of 10, so it's less obvious what has happened. I added two £150 tickets to my basket and was assigned two £1500 tickets. £3000.00 can look like £300.00 at a quick glance.
I can repeat this at will - so it's not a one-off error. I have screenshots, but I can't see how to attach files to an MSE posting.
