Well, I went ahead and put in my "bid" for tickets for the Olympics that are supposed to occur in the Summer of 2028. Personally, I don't really expect to be around, but if I am... Sidenote: I plan to retire in FEB 27 and Hubby retires FEB 28 and then we're off to New Hampshire. At least that's the plan. Now, knowing Los Angeles, this city is a HOT MESS. This city needs to get up on the clean up train fast and I don't see that happening. But you never know. So it's simple enough to register on the website. There was no cost and I got to pick 5 events so I picked: Opening/Closing Ceremonies Diving Rhythmic Gymnastics Water polo Trampoline Gymnastics The website doesn't tell you how much tickets cost - and tickets become avail in April for certain events - but from what I can find, they can start as low as $28.00. I was tempted to sign up for Beach Volleyball, Archery, Swimming, and the horses. Curious, I looked at the prices for the Winter Olympics in Milan. Rock bottom prices for the Opening ceremonies in Milan: 260 Euros which comes out to 290 American dollars. If you want the fancy seats it's over 2,000 Euro. If I had to pick 5 Olympic sports to watch I'd pick: Mens figure skating Ski Jumping Bobsled Skeleton - that looks wild Hockey Bring on the ICE. |
