Olympic Event Ticket Prices Sky-High!

Ticket prices for the proposed 2016 Olympic Games will truly be Olympia, according to the Chicago Tribune. You’ll have to shell out between $520 to $1,645 for the Opening Ceremony and pay $28 to $486 for “prime events.”  Come on, Chicago, wise up. These games will bankrupt us. But if you can afford $1,645 for a ticket to a show, then maybe you’re not worried about the mountains of debt our city will incur while our schools, clinics, roads and parks crumble and close.

    Why not have a lottery game to win Olympic tickets?Selling large amounts of tickets would make it more likely that the games were profitable and no tax money would be needed after all.
