I’m always wondering how anyone who isn’t very rich affords tickets to anything anymore.

@Holberg I was in London for the 2012 olympics. It was the same then. We ended up going to the paralympics (which were awesome) because we couldn’t afford tickets to the main events. I mean, maybe I could have afforded the last row seat of one event. But my budget let me see a bunch of Paralympic events.

Not to say it isn’t bad now (or even worse). Just saying that the Olympics have been this way a long time.

@paco True—I’m thinking in terms of a broader pattern, though, and not just major events. How expensive virtually any concert or activity has gotten.
