From
where I sit it looks like there's still tickets available for the Olympics...
And
it's not just the new/unique events. We're talking hockey tickets.
Men's figure skating finals. Speed skating, short and long track.
The men's gold medal curling game still has some good seats too. In
fact, you can find tickets to pretty much every event. I know
Vancouver wasn't 100% sold out, but good luck finding tickets to
anything good. Scalpers were making a mint, even on the medal
ceremonies. At the same time I can't really blame people for not
wanting to go. When you see articles warning of possible suicide terrorists, or the US stepping up military presence in the area, it's
hardly incentive. I understand that's standard practice now. And
it's better to be safe than sorry. But let's face it, there wasn't
much to worry about in Vancouver. Or Turin. To be honest, I would
feel safer in Pyeongchang, and it's not that far from North Korea.
This was an opportunity for Russia to show the level of safety they
have achieved. Even if there isn't an attack, the level of concern
globally means they have failed.
At
least that's how I see it...and I sit in the cheap seats.
