Olympia Posted December 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 In Atlanta the total incomes were 1705 milion dollar. 559 milion was from the television-rights. That's 32 %. That's not changed a lot for the Sydney and Athens games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not changed a lot for the Sydney and Athens games where did you get these figures? From the Official result? That $559 million, I take it?, seems pretty low for the broadcast part of the revenue pie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baron-pierreIV Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 That's a strange article though. It says a "One-year Retrospective" which means that it's discussing things that have already happened. Yet, as you say, it's discussing the budget ...which has an allocation for 'Roads'? :hmm: That's an item usually attributed to the county or state since it is an infrastructure improvement rather than a venue. I do know however, that when final figures were tallied 6 months after, ACOG claimed a $10 million 'profit.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made a budget of all the cost and incomes. Some of the cost of transport are payed by the goverment, but some costs were covered by the incomes. Like the '84 Games in LA the goverment in Atlanta didn't play a big role. The OC was responsible for the most things of the games. The article is more about the effects of the Games and use this budget as a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Yeah, but over half a billion dollars for roads? There's NO WAY that was a realistic set of figures those writers worked from. I've just moved so I have a lot of my records and books still in boxes. But once I'm a little more settled, I will pull them out and look at the Atlanta figures more closely. ACOG was in the business of staging the Games -- not building roads for the county and state of Georgia. Except for 4 or 5 venues, all 2 dozen of the other venues were well within existing road networks; so I don't see how those guys picked up a $526 million dollar figure?

It are not the final figures. Construction cost is also about the other transport. The capacity of the airport was increased. And during the Games the bus transport of the athletes and press cost a lot of money. That was also in these cost. Sorry for not mention that is the other posts.
