Rio 2016 Tickets


Recommended Posts

Remember, "there are always more tickets." The opening round gets all the publicity; that's when most people apply so it's the hardest to get tickets. But for the patient person, there are always more tickets.

The best advice. I got almost nothing through the opening round for London (2 tennis sessions, table tennis, and the men's archery final). But by the end of the process I had at tickets for at least 2 events per day for the 11 days I was there. All acquired through one official channel or another, and not from ticket brokers. London was the toughest (and by far the most expensvie) but this has been the experience for each of the 8 Summer Olympics I've attended.

No, unless you've also made death threats against Sue Perkins .

As for Rondon though- he looks even more impressive in Portuguese Wikipedia !

This guy was important to Rondonia State, and the North of Brazil. I live in Rio Grande do Sul State, in South, thats really far. So dont makes sense we learn about this man.

Anyway, how do u know about him?

I called Cosport yesterday. They told me we will receive the order form in early march.

By the way, I secured today my place to stay in Rio during the Games.

300m from a subway station and 300m from Copacabana beach for 110$CAN per night (better for me than London, Vancouver, Beijing, Sydney and Atlanta). Very happy for that.

Still no news from Cosport for Canadian resident.

I decided to change the place I will stay to be closer to a subway station (less than 100m from Siqueiros Campos station and also less than 150m from the Copacabana Beach). 170$CAD per night for a bed & breakfast. They charge for the Olympic exactelly double of the regular price.

Finally

Received today the GO from Cosport Canada to place our tickets request.

Asked single ticket for 37 events for a total of 7800$US

That's include 3 X Swimming Finals, 3 X Gymnastic Finals, 3 X Athletics Finals.

Those 9 tickets count for half of my total order in dollars (9 X 434$)

Happy to heard that we will have the result of our allocation in less than two weeks.

I know that I will probably not get everything, but I will have a chance to get some more in next phases.

(For the London Games, I didn't ask in phase one. Only in phase 3 and I got plenty of tickets for finals)

Very busy but :

I wil have free time to visit Corcovado and Pao de Acucar.

Will probably see the Cérémonies at the Heineken Holland House like I did in Beijing, Vancouver and London.

And make sure to visit German Fan Fest this time (missed it in London) plus the Tokyo 2020 Pavillon.

(we don't know yet the locations for those last three places but will find out eventually)

The places of Fan fest:

The politician said that Rio will feature three of these locations: One in Praça XV, in the center; another in Madureira Park, north; and one at the Sports Center Miécimo da Silva, the Campo Grande neighborhood in the west of the city.
