$140 million sounds like a lot, but….China is expected to spend $30 billion on the games, part of $150 billion program that has been sunk into infrastructure improvements.
Sales of sponsorships, television rights, merchandising and private investments are the other revenue sources.
7 million tickets of 9 million total have already gone on sale for $1.30 (for Chinese students), then $12 to $646 each depending on the venue.
My father-in-law will go to Beijing this month to buy tickets for events he wants to see and has offered to buy tickets for me as well.
Problem is, I can't determine which of the other 22 some events I want to see….swimming will be first on my list.
What event do you want to see?
