No records today. The first half of the run felt pretty rough, with various thresholds I just couldn’t break through initially. But we got it done!

Did you get Olympic tickets? My purchase window opened with incredibly low inventory and what there was available was so overpriced I passed. (closing ceremony for $4900!!!) Plus none of the events we wanted had availability.

My wife’s window came and is now passed. Everything there was at least several hundred dollars a person if not many times more. Reasonable, maybe, for 1-2 people…but we have 5. We passed. I’ll see what pops up in my window.
 
I have a buddy that lives in orange county His window opened a week before mine and he was only able to get baseball semi finals and soccer semi finals. He also got shut out on so many events.
