I think the Beijing Olympics ticket plan is sensible and will likely be done in other countries too - if not already.

Oops, hit the botton before done.

Anyway, my complaint is: why should WE pay for the gvmt’s brain deficiency?

Yay! Now I’m so excited about the Games! Thanks Josh!

The ch gvmt generally don’t know what to do about anything, so it tries to control EVERYTHING. The new thing of checking the ID of all event-goers just reminds me how the gvmt is always at it’s wit’s end.

Also whenever the gvmt don’t know how to regulate something, it BANs it, like the food, the traffic, the SuperGirl TV show wannabes and many more.

Which will be more entertaining, the action at the sporting events or potential action in public areas? Bring extra batteries and video cards.

@b. cheng:

I wasn’t talking about the opening ceremony. I’ve heard rumors that they want to require ID for all events. A fairly reliable source indicated that they were pressing for it, but presumably they will get talked out of it.

There are no rumors about IDs and names being required for events, only for the Opening Ceremony tickets won in China’s domestic phase 1, and they aren’t rumors.

I believe you meant to say two-month old baby. And here’s another possible disaster for the Olympics: Chinese officials have stated unequivocally that terrorists from Xinjiang are planning attacks on the games. Have fun!
