Do you mean tickets are going to be 50% less than usual or 50% of the tickets sold are going to be $30 while the rest is the usual price?

**Scrawney** Sun Jan 18, 2009 2:16 pm

I think it means that 50% will be sold at less than $30 and 50% will be more than $30

**dallascowboy76** Sun Jan 18, 2009 7:45 pm

that's kind of odd but awesome Cool

**Scrawney** Sun Jan 18, 2009 7:55 pm

lol does seem strange but at least tickets will be cheapish, I was expecting $100 a ticket region

**dallascowboy76** Sun Jan 18, 2009 8:43 pm

you getting a ticket first day they become available scrawney?

**Scrawney** Mon Jan 19, 2009 6:58 am

That's the plan but it'll depend on how much money I have and how much tickets are. Apparently they only think they're going to sell 82% of tickets for the Olympics

**dallascowboy76** Mon Jan 19, 2009 12:36 pm

and that's why they're cutting the prices?

**Godfather** Mon Jan 19, 2009 1:59 pm

If I don't have the money by then I'll just barrow some from a friend or something.

**Scrawney** Mon Jan 19, 2009 3:32 pm

Good plan Godfather. If the gymnastics prices are around $30 then it'd be weird because tickets to the Worlds in the very same arena cost around about $65

**dallascowboy76** Mon Jan 19, 2009 7:41 pm

yea that would be odd. oh well Cool

**Scrawney** Tue Jan 20, 2009 7:00 am

lol I'm not complaining though, get to see a higher standard of competition for cheaper Very Happy

**dallascowboy76** Tue Jan 20, 2009 6:37 pm

hopefully they will do that in chicago too. that will definitely make cubs fan happy Cool

**Scrawney** Tue Jan 20, 2009 6:59 pm

Hopefully, that'd be cool. I really want Chicago to get it in 2016

**dallascowboy76** Tue Jan 20, 2009 7:08 pm

it seems like chicago is in the lead but i don't know what other cities are fighting for it Cool

**Scrawney** Tue Jan 20, 2009 7:13 pm

Me neither, all I've heard of is Chicago. But when we got the Olympics everyone thought Paris was going to get it until we got some of our sports stars onto the bid so if Chicago can do that and prove that they'll use the stadiums after the Olympics have gone then they'll get it

**dallascowboy76** Tue Jan 20, 2009 7:43 pm

i'm sure they'll use the stadiums after. for all we know they might use soldiers stadium for the olympics

**Scrawney** Tue Jan 20, 2009 7:49 pm

That'd be good. What won us the bid is that we've got a lot of world class stadiums and arenas and a transport network that with some improvements could handle the amount of people going to the games and the fact that the main stadium is going to be used by the local community, sports clubs and for music events

**dallascowboy76** Tue Jan 20, 2009 7:57 pm

good deal

**Vault** Tue Jan 20, 2009 9:14 pm

I hope Chicago get's it. That's a lot closer than London. Very Happy

But I'll be 24 by then and gymnastics won't be nearly as awesome by then Neutral

**dallascowboy76** Wed Jan 21, 2009 3:29 pm

gymnastics isn't the only event there vault Cool

**Scrawney** Wed Jan 21, 2009 3:49 pm

lol that's true. Bolt might still be running then and I'm sure some new athletes will have come by that are just as amazing

**Vault** Wed Jan 21, 2009 4:23 pm

True, but it's the only event worth while. lol!

One of my friends is training for the marathon. He thinks he could make it and he says that he'll take a few of us with him so if he does go, it'd be totally wicked!

**Scrawney** Wed Jan 21, 2009 4:27 pm

I went along to train for handball (apparently it's really popular in Europe) but it wasn't for me

**Vault** Wed Jan 21, 2009 8:04 pm

That's still really cool, though!

**Scrawney** Thu Jan 22, 2009 10:24 am

I'd love to be good enough to compete at any Olympic sport. I'm quite a good tennis player but I started playing way too late to turn pro
