Anyone could easily point out scale, venue, rarity, expense, demand and a few dozen other things, but why bother arguing with a shill who reads his replies out of a binder?
Carry on.
As I understand it, those were seats handed out to sponsors, etc., rather than sold, per-se; much like season-ticket seats or sky boxes, etc at regular sporting events.
If an ass isn’t seated in it, it is the business of the ass holding the ticket. Why throw more good money after bad to “investigate” why people decided not to show up? How does that make one a shill?
But, then, AFAIC, since I’m not a jock worshiper, the Olympics are just an expensive PITA.
