mpkwokgsb Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 whats going on then? Why are people desperate to get tickets but the stadiums appear only half full? Well, cause a lot of the people come and support their own country and once their countries are done with the competition, they go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wingspread Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 I can imagine myself doing the same thing if I was there right now. "Will give you dollars and a free f**k for tickets!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY20?? Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 It's just an issue of the Olympic family (sponsors, NOCs, IFs, media) not finding people to fill their reserved seats at the less-prestigious events. Also, people are deciding to not go to one session (or come in late) because their ticket allows them to go to another session at the venue complex or go at a different time (so basically people have to pick and choose which seat to fill and which to leave empty depending on who they want to see; you can't fill two seats at once). Btw, why make another thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Why do people keep saying 'half-empty'? I'd rather like to think they're 'half-full.' It's like the old adage about you see the glass as half-empty; I see it as half-full. All depends on the spin you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
