Mauricio Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Anyone looking for Athletics tickets or closing ceremonies this is another option. http://www.viator.com/tours/Rio-de-Janeiro/Rio-2016-Olympics-Mens-and-Womens-Athletics-Admission-Ticket-and-Transportation/d712-8753P29 Hey, Hobart. I've just tried this link out. It seems, there are some inconsistencies regarding info accuracy. Pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zekekelso Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Cosport US online sales to start at 2:00 PM (14:00) US Eastern time today. They've got a countdown timer and everything. And they claim they've got some new technology that will queue users up so the system won't be overwhelmed. I'm still a bit skeptical, but it looks like they might have actually updated the Compaq 486 that's been running the show. Cross your fingers folks.

JustTickingAway Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Well cosport wasn't a total loss. My friend got us a set of tickets to a gymnastics and swimming event. She started as 1200 in line and I was about 1800something. By the time I logged in a lot were gone. Hope everyone did well and got a few of what they wanted!! Now we wait and see about the rest! Any advice on the best way to try and snag a pair of tickets to Opening Ceremony?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyP Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 No luck here. Everything I wanted was gone before I got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al in NYC Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Well, that was a bit less than 3 of my life that are now lost. I was on from a little after 1:00. At 2 I got the word that I was # 2,687 in line and had over an hour to wait. At a little after 3:30 I got into the site to find whole sports blank, and just a few stray tickets for minor sports (other than the track tickets, which I already had anyway) that I didn't want. Ended up getting nothing. More than a little disheartening and infuriating, but just a really bad luck of the draw I guess. However, if anyone wants some pretty good Athletics tickets for evening medal sessions, there seem to be some of those left. I guess we'll just have to wait for the next batch released. Hopefully, we won't get hosed by their queuing system next time, or they will actually release a decent number of tickets. Anyone have any idea when they may be releasing tickets from unsold tour packages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovecruisingtoo Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Any advice on the best way to try and snag a pair of tickets to Opening Ceremony?? I don't think anyone has been able to score Opening tickets. In prior years was able to buy them on Ebay but even they don't show any opening tickets available.

JennyP Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Is it better to just grab tickets from other ATRs? Or risk waiting? Not sure if I trust shipping to get to me in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rastafounder Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Check randomly is the best way. I got Closing ceremony tickets mid November from Cosport US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al in NYC Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 If you have reasonably easy access to tickets you want from other ATRs then I would go for them. Especially ceremony tickets, since those are always in extremely short supply. I wouldn't trust CoSport's shipping if I was you. It's not entirely their fault since the organizers usually don't release the actual tickets until about a month out from the games (in order to minimize scalping they claim). But for London they fell so far behind in sorting their tickets that they had to have a lot of people pick them up after they arrived in London. Also, several of us had tickets missing from our shipment that we had to then pick up in London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovecruisingtoo Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 There is always the possibility that tickets will be very late. I know for the London games, we purchased some tickets from Germany and they were very late coming. Our contact there only got the tickets to us a couple of days before the games started (since it was so late, we had him ship the tickets to our hotel in London).

Chateau Petrus Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 So where are people at? Please post your complete day by day schedules thus far so I can be jealous...

Chateau Petrus Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 For the London Games, when I received my tickets from Cosport, there was one missing (gymnastic). They know about it and wrote me a letter saying that I will have to pass to their office for picking it. It was a huge problem for me since the missing ticket was for 15h00 the same day I arrived. My plane landed around 8h00. I had to grab the ticket, and then check-in with my lugagge at my hotel before going to the event. There was huge distance between each points but I was able to make it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
