a scam website were selling fake tickets and scammed thousands of people from seeing the game.
another thing a travel agent actually said that the site was legitimate and that it was safe to buy Olympic tickets from them makes me wonder if he/she had made a very stupid mistake or is getting something under the table.

Don't the parents get free tickets? Well, it'd suck in any case, if anyone bought plane tickets too.
More than $50 million worth of fake Beijing Olympic tickets have been sold globally. That figure seems a bit high, but if it's true..Wow.

Seriously :shock: that's pretty sad though .. I'll bet it happens with more than the olympics, but that's major news.
