olympics

Last day. Attended 17 total events over 13 days 👀

My withdrawals are going to be massive. 1000/10 recommend doing an Olympics trip.

how‘d you get all of these tickets? 
secondaries or is there short term primary spots available?
or did you get them all beforehand? I am astonished to how many events you made it

Some before, most secondary. The Olympics resale platform didn’t let you change prices, so it was all still at face value and you just had to spam refresh.

The trick was to get gold medal / tournament matches early on and try to project/hope that the team you wanted would be in that game.

But if not, just sell.

Some people tried to scalp onsite, but high risk of getting scammed.

The Olympics made their own resale site, they didn’t use any existing marketplaces. The benefit of using it was that you won’t get scammed haha.

wow interesting, any personalization to enforce online marketplace or also irl ticket reselling?

Also 2 of them were free, just grab a spot on the road on the course (marathon & cycling road race).

I think it’s only possible in a city like Paris though, metros and trains were great. Good luck trying to get to multiple events per day in LA.
