Buying scalped Olympic tickets
Wednesday, 20th August 2008 ~ Maggie ~ Link ~ Comments (0)
Despite saying that scalping would not be tolerated at these games, the Beijing police seem to be turning a blind eye to the practice, which is common in China. At every event I have been to, I've seen active and obvious transactions going on, with uniformed cops standing mere feet away. It's a far cry from the undercover sting bust I experienced in the spring at an Olympic test event. It's a good thing the powers that be have decided to let it go, because keeping the venues full seems a big enough problem as it is.How best to game the scalping? Blogger Ben Ross, currently in Beijing, has a good breakdown of how the system works and how best to make it work for you.
