Ebaby! at the Olympics!

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.

To this topic,we can see a problem there.Jason said that finding the location is really a hard part of his adventure,even harder than scalping a ticket.Apparently,the guideline of each game location in Beijing is not so clear.To this ,we still have to make it better.Then next time ,jason wonät be so hard to get his destination.

jason doens’t had luck…worse than watching a boring game and pay dearly is to be in the OLIMPICS OF CHINA and don’t go in the famous stadium THE BIRD’S NEST… in my opinion it’s the most beautiful stadium!

I am a little sad because Brazil lost this morning of Argentina. Did you see that?

they are pathetic for wanting a ticket? I don’t agree, they ‘ve done thousands of kilometers to see the olympics and they can’t.
