On Saturday I went to watch australia vs p.rico at 9 in the morning and then serbia vs spain. All tickets were sold and costed 15euro for both games (so that's about 8euro/game). I didn't manage to find a ticket for beach volley, the rest basketball games of greece and weightlifting. I know I can find tickets for badminton, baseball, softball, shooting and archery but i don't like them and this seems to apply for the rest. Overall I would say more tickets were sold than expected after the bs media propaganda for over a year that possible Al Queda will hit Athens, security is not good and avenues won't be ready.

You have all the reason Soul_Rebel, people that doesn't care about olympics are just envious of how well they are doing at the moment, and about the historical meaning of these games. It's a big mistake to see that out of date pic and believe that it was taken during a match or any other event.
I know there are some sports that doesn't have full house, but in overall Athens 2004 are going pretty well.
