My comments were predicated upon your earlier one that there might be a 
project to make sure Oyster was rolled out all over London by the 
Olympics (maybe to show off to those damn furriners). It wouldn't make 
any sense to do that, then issue the bundled tickets on paper!!

My reaction was to say that if they are "almost" ready, then a few 
kludges for those particular Oyster cards would be sufficient. For 
example, even if they are in fact a return ticket from (say) Reading to 
Stratford via Paddington and St Pancras, accept them *as if* they were 
an all-zones travelcard - and thus valid "everywhere". The people 
concerned, having paid through the nose, will be watching the games in 
Stratford, not riding round the Circle Line all day.
