    It's pretty simple: there are hundreds of thousands of tickets available for events taking place every day. This is the equivalent of 12 huge rock bands playing different venues every night for two weeks. You wouldn't expect every show to be sold out, would you?

      Have you watched the olympics ? It's the best part laughing at the empty stadiums. The volleyball match yesterday probably had 80 - 90 % of the seats empty.

        Uh...he's talking about the 2000 Sydney Games...which is where he's from. He's not quoting some online article...he's talking from experience.

        Spend you some brain.

              Agreed


              The olympics suck.


              X-Games... now thats fun to watch.
              but curling? figure skating? pole vaulting? shot put? fuck that. I would much rather watch some kid doing back flips over helicopter rotors on his motocross bike.
