As you may imagine, tickets for 2010 are not going cheaply.
There's a lottery system in place. My understanding though, is that if you "win" a lottery for a ticket to an event, you are obligated to buy the ticket. The rumour on the street however, is that odds of winning in this ticket lottery are not very high.
What does this mean? This means that some of my friends have put there names down for a LOT of tickets, with the mindset that they'll be lucky if just a few of them come through. It'll be kinda hilarious though, if in fact, tickets aren't that hard to come by. Because then, I know quite a few people on the hook for thousands of dollars worth of Olympic tickets.
A lot of this purchasing happened last night, at a small Mario Kart gathering I held. The lesson is that peer pressure and a party atmosphere will make people do extravagant things.
