从这些不远千里来到北京看奥运的外国朋友们纯真又焦急的眼神里我们不难看出他们对奥运的渴望，对比赛的热情，对运动的热爱！看来具有天时、地利、人和的国人在老外之前已经把所有门票一抢而空！所有比赛场馆必定都成为咱们的主场！据说开幕式门票最高被炒到60000，闭幕式20000，篮球比赛门票被炒到12000，一口价！几乎鸟巢、水立方周围的票价都被炒到了10倍以上，一问全是4位数起价！
老外们，还在犹豫？一会再有钱也买不到了！看来场馆内应该是座无虚席，进去晚了会影响到其他人观赛，还是抓紧时间赶紧入场吧！
=====================================================================
然而，奥运场馆内原来是这样！令人震惊啊！
从开幕式到今天，这几天下来，真是看得人心潮澎湃呀！中国队太棒了！中国运动员个个都是英雄！最喜欢郭晶晶了！还有杨威！！还有姚明！可是通过这几天观赛我发现，赛场开台并不是向我想的那样每一次都座无虚席，总是有很多空位子，正是让人看了心痒痒的！！我和一个朋友说为了买奥运门票（不知道是什么比赛）排了差不多1天的队，而且听说别人排得更早，可见人人对奥运门票都是望眼欲穿呀！那为什么奥运赛场上，观众席还是有那么多空缺呐？（这种“景色”在电视里是永远看不到的）心寒啊！
惊天悲剧型 绝对是很惨很意外！不知道多少人打着飞的来，只为亲眼见证偶像夺冠之风采，谁料预赛刘天王便因伤黯然退出。多少人泪流，多少人愤怒，多少人无奈，多少人失望呀。据说当即有半数人离场。刘翔因高强度训练导致伤痛无缘奖牌确实遗憾。我们在祝福他早日康复的同时，也不得不正视因此导致的奥运田径决赛必将门庭冷落的问题。田径原来最高800元的门票被炒到5000或最高8000，但由于刘翔的突然退出，让黄牛们差点赔了血本，看来干这行风险也不小啊！
赠票浪费型 有很多门票是公司单位的赠票，这种白来的东西总是会被别人忽视，这个因为工作忙，那个因为不喜欢体育比赛，总之有一大堆的理由对在这里就心安理得的把奥运门票浪费了。
转让限制型��������以前经常可以在网上看到什么演唱会呀、足球赛呀的赠票转让的帖子，只要双方达成协议，根据卖家的交易的设置，就可以用支付宝或易宝支付之类的网上付款平台付了款，然后等快递就好了，又便宜又省力，要不然索性就见个面交易，还更快捷。而这一次出于对奥运门票交易的保护，个人转让奥运门票受限制，网上这类帖子很难找了。看看那些空着的座位，再想想我们这些那两天为了买张门票，烈日下被晒得跟sb似的人，排了一天也不一定能买的心仪的比赛心仪的位置的门票，擦，实在无话可说！
身不由己型 这一群人身居外地，本来兴致勃勃的搞到门票，本想来京一睹奥运健儿的风采，谁曾想赶上工作太忙、火车票难买、要不就是被网上流传的场馆附近高昂的房租费吓趴，还有就是因各种个人原因分不开身的。总而言之，落得个空欢喜一场。也害得我们大家也跟着没票可买。
黄牛搞砸型 不过，估计最郁闷的还是黄牛党了！这次赛场门口抓的那么严，他们和我们一样S B 似的排队，又搭钱又搭时间的，结果因为看的太严。以现在网上还能做做倒票的买卖，这次网上风声也紧，面对我们这么多对门票望眼欲穿的人，还是只能眼巴巴看着这些奥运门票砸在手里面，赔了夫人又折兵，不只是心疼能形容吧！这帮黄牛，是整个奥运会中最该死的人！
"黄牛"买断票源鸟巢一票难求 老外举牌抗议
在离鸟巢不远处，这位想要奥运门票但却没有买到的“老外”举起了这块牌子。不知大家看了是什么感觉？
为什么在其它国家的奥运会人家都用实名制买票，入场时必须携带本人身份证，在咱们这就实行不了？
真的有这么难？还是另有目的？大家想想吧！
Empty seats are a mystery at Beijing Olympics
August 17 2008
But inside the 17000-seat Olympic Green Hockey Stadium the stands were a sea of blue -- the color of the rows and rows of empty plastic seats. When the game began only a quarter of the seats were filled leaving an incredulous Donna Dancer wife of Australian hockey coach Barry Dancer to ask "Where have all the tickets gone?"
"Everyone I know wanted tickets; we Chinese love to see sports" said Mike Ma 34 a Beijing office worker who scored a field hockey ticket through a German friend because he was unable to buy one in China. "It's a pity there are so many empty seats. We would like to know who is responsible."
And how it happened.
Dancer wife of the Australian coach knows how tough it was to scrape together tickets for the pla
Not every venue is empty. There have been full houses for swimming and gymnastics finals. The 91000-seat National Stadium known as the Bird's Nest was packed Saturday for track and field. But at most other events even table tennis and archery in which the Chinese are strong the lack of fans is glaringly obvious especially on TV.
Beijing Olympic organizers initially explained away the empty seats by citing the humid and rainy weather on the first days of the Games. But with the skies clearing they have begun complaining about tickets that have been purchased but gone unused.
"All the tickets have been sold out; we will be encouraging all the ticket holders to watch the matches themselves" Wang Wei executive vice president of the organizing committee said Friday at a news conference. "If they don't want to go they should give the tickets to those who do"
Empty seats are a chronic problem at the Olympics where large blocks of the best seats are set aside for sponsors VIPs and media members who may not use them. The 2004 Athens Games were marked by vast swaths of empty seats.
But Athens was not sold out and people could buy tickets at the on-site box office. Not so in Beijing. With no same-day tickets available hundreds of people mill about outside the wire fences that separate the Olympic Green from the street looking for tickets. Scalpers sli
On Saturday morning the cheapest price to see U.S. swimmer Michael Phelps in the 100-meter butterfly race was $570 for tickets with a face value of $21.
One reason for the shortage is that organizers wanted to make the Games accessible to China's 1.3 billion people so they sold more tickets domestically and at lower prices than usual some for as little as $4. The low prices encouraged people to snap up whatever they could.
But it turns out there weren't that many people truly prepared to spend their Monday morning watching Mali play New Zealand in women's basketball.
Also the custom in Communist China is to attend sporting or cultural events as part of official work outings. Large blocks of empty seats in the cheaper nosebleed sections of the stadiums may have been allocated to state companies that ended up not using them.
From the looks of the stands the empty seats do not appear to be tickets that were sold in the United States Australia or Europe said Mark Lewis president of Jet Set Sports the affiliate of CoSport which was the official sales agent. In the cases where foreigners decided not to go to China their tickets were returned and resold.
"I know where our seats are. . . . The people who bought our tickets are attending" Lewis said.
So many foreigners have complained that the Chinese have been busing in rent-a-crowds to lend the stands a festive atmosphere.
"It's better. Nobody likes an empty stadium" said Dave Andrews 27 of Perth Australia. "But you can tell they've just been brought in here to fill the seats. They know nothing about hockey. They cheer at all the wrong times."
