Olympic Stadium

Ebaby! went to Beijing, China, for the 2008 Olympics! We visited members, made fun videos, and taught English to everyone!

Scalping Olympic Tickets

Tickets to Olympic games are very hard to get this year. All the events are sold out!

If you want to buy tickets, you have to scalp them. Scalping is when you (sometimes illegally) buy a ticket to something sold out for an increased price.

Watch as Jason sets out to scalp a ticket. He finds it very easy. But finding the event he just bought a ticket for turns out to be a wild goose chase, or a very difficult and exhausting search.

I think 300 Yuan is worth to afford for the game. You know what? some guys spent 3,000~4,000 Yuan to buy tickets of 110M hurdle Men to see Liu Xiang's first race. But Liu Xiang quit the game at the first because he was footsore. It's really been tough time for Liu himself and all the audience in the Bird Nest. I felt pity very much too.

300 Yuan? Is is like 43$? As for the Olympic games it is not expensive at all! But Jasen went to see only one game(which is in my opinion not that fascinating as athletics). In that case the price is reasonable

Actually that price is not reasonable at all. Before scalping, the official price may be only less than 100 Yuan. I guess.

I think he is a lucky guy.Cuz lots of foreigners wanna get a ticket no matter what it is, and write sth.on the papers just like “I want a ticket”“我要票”. However, they aren’t successful. I think they are pathetic.
Even when I destine tickets,It’s also not easy at all!~
