Probably expensive if it's an even held inside a venue. I was hoping to catch some events like cycling or the marathon. Events that go through public streets. LOL.

I don't know how it will be for the upcoming Olympics but back in 84 I remember my older cousins talking about being able to catch some events for free. I am gonna see how much the tickets are for the events in the venues and catch a couple if the price isn't too outrageous.

Swimming and diving is something I want to see.

They are going to need seat fillers for some events so that it will look OK on tv. I could see some of the smaller events just letting local residents in for free. Obviously the higher profile events like gymnastics, swimming and track and field will still command a high ticket price.

the cost is depend on the sport for sure. gymnastic, track and field, and men's basketball gonna be pretty expensive for sure. last summer we were in Paris, and caught a couple fencing bouts, we bought the tickets last minute, there were about $120 for the men's individual semi-finals. at the time, we also saw women's basketball tickets (not French or USA teams) were just $20.

I'll probably try to check out some volleyball in Anaheim at Honda Center, which I could walk to in about 15 minutes, if the prices aren't outrageous.

^^^. Nice. Long Beach has quite a few locations being used. Would love to see men's basketball but I'm going to assume the tickets to those are going to be a fortune.
