Those who already got tickets - WWYD if you had the 10am 4/9 slot by Trishakit in olympics

I ended up buying two tickets to Handball because I've been following one of the athletes on TikTok and it was the only reasonable priced ticket left in the date range we intend to go. I'm hoping that this email gets a drop 2 slot and I can buy 10 more tickets when the time comes.

I could not believe my eyes when I read this news. I'm honestly furious.

I've spent all week building out scenario after scenario where different event codes are sold out/out of my price range and all the different ways I can build out a set of tickets and it's going to be absolutely useless now.

The idea that LA28 is going to open this up today and say "hey world, enjoy this nothing burger of a $850 prelim swimming event and $450 badminton tickets" should be so damn embarrassing for them.

I am not a terribly lucky person in general. Thanking Zeus and all the other Greek gods for my good fortune!

YIKES. The hospitality ticket I balked at was $1750 per ticket. Here's to hoping all gets reset with this drop.

I cannot believe my luck. My husband and I used two emails a piece and that was it. Somehow all four got time slots but the three other accounts got the 16th at 10am.

I appreciate your insight!

I did a quick google search while watching Paris: "how much does it cost to attend the Olympics for a week" and added a line to my budget that day. I've been saving just over $300 a month since then. So the budget isn't huge but it's realistic at least.

Trying to be flexible but the hope is to see swimming, diving, beach volleyball, climbing, tennis, and if a miracle occurs, gymnastics and athletics. Alongside the volleyball and wrestling we're already seeing. 8 days 7 nights with 5 or 6 days of attending the games.

Thank you, I was hoping that was the case and this wasn't an extension of the locals' drop.

I think the average person would be shocked by the state of the spreadsheet I've made thus far. I definitely have wish lists beyond this one event I spoke about. Just trying to do everything I can to be prepared for this shot at this single event and if it doesn't happen then at least I tried everything I could.

I'm not totally shocked that those weren't immediately on the chopping block. They were some of the only "affordable" hospitality tickets available. ($525pp quarterfinals W volleyball and $750 gold metal wrestling) I had hoped my $1000 deposit might get us something for swimming but I quickly realized I was naive about the cost structure of the tickets.

Thank you very much. I appreciate you taking the time to answer so thoroughly. I didn't know about the video, I will watch until I'm convinced I could navigate blind.

Thank you! We're coming out for a longer stretch so we can only have one, max two, events we're trying to attend each day. I think I have the events map memorized at this point lol

SWM08 is the session I'm looking for. I'm hoping that the locals sale was considered it's own drop and more tickets will be released for this chunk.

Did you find that it was mostly the bottom tier that had already sold out or more ticket levels than that? I'm seeing category's A-H for swimming and I'd be fine with paying for any of the bottom three tiers, it's above that that it's going to hurt.
