Thanks for the heads up, deant. I did snag a few extra tickets last week (swimming and diving).

Non wonder - as ticket sales are reported to be terrible.

Rio2016.com is now selling tickets to everyone. Prices are about 30% lower than cosport.

Hello, I am looking to watch some football matches of RIO Olympics in Brazil. A match on 6th of August and then on 8th of august.
Reference:- rio2016olympicsonline.com/2016/06/rio-olympi�
But not finding a way, to get the tickets on bulk?
Is there any expert, who can help me out?

Do not believe there are any matches on the 8th and which matches on the 6th? How many tickets are you looking for? Make sure you list the Olympic ticket FB number you are looking for not just who is playing. Also, where have you looked for tickets?

You need to give more information if you expect any help (especially for your first post).

I'll be in Rio for the second week of the Olympics, but flying home the day of the closing ceremony. So far I have tickets to basketball, badminton, and the gymnastics gala. Does anyone have any clue if CoSport will do another dump or if I should focus on resellers to fill out my free days?

I got a hotel off booking.com and used AA miles for my ticket. I've been to Rio before, but never to an Olympics (well, I got to Atlanta the day of the closing ceremony for a baptism but I didn't attend anything). I like to be a contrarian and since I'm only going for the second week if poop really hits the fan the first week I could still stay home.

Actually, anyone can now buy from the rio2016 site. Much cheaper than CoSport. They have very good availability. You can probably get just about everything you want from that web site. Just open an account and purchase to your wallets content.

Good Luck.

Nice, just wish the airfare and hotel were cheap. $5,000 from SFO, and the hotels I want to stay at are 125% booked.

Same situation happen in Sydney... they were giving out tickets to high school students. Also in Atlanta, Delta Airlines was giving out free tickets.

Olympics are over rated, Brazil could have used those funds elsewhere. Very sad situation in Rio.

I really don't think the Olympics are overrated. It is a fantastic time. If you plan ahead, you can go on the cheap. We managed to get most of our nights at the Radisson (now Sheraton) on the buy one get one free award nights. Flights are with AA points. Remember to think of alternate airports. Yes the tickets are expensive.....but such is life.

We have gone to the LA Olympics, Vancouver Olympics, London Olympics and Sochi Olympics. All have been different and fantastic. Yes they have been a challenge but they have still been fantastic.

I don't know where you are getting your $5K from. Checked a couple of dates and the SFO-GIG RT can be had for less than $1K. If you insist on C, then the price goes up to about $3.2K.

Anybody know if Chase VISA is doing their Olympic Lounge like they did in London last Olympics?

Have not seen or heard anything. I know they did not have a lounge in Sochi.

are they allowing non Brazilians to buy
?

Yes. Just open an account

try the rio2016.com site. You can now buy if your outside of Brasil. They have a max of 6 tickets. Hope that helps

Thank you. It worked perfectly and we got tickets and have them printed. That was so much easier than the CoSport method which is just nuts! It is so much easier to print at home than expect people to wait in lines to get their tickets!!
