what exactly is the ticketing structure like, for the olympics? do you buy a ticket to every event, or are you gated into certain events or buildings only with certain passes? it's such a long event.

i think just for the sheer volume, location, duration, and cost, the olympics wins this one for me.
Event by event. Or game by game depending on the sport.

Fat cats can buy the equivalent of a "season pass" but even that is limited. There's a lot of money to be made and the organizers want to make it.

After the 1994 World Cup final - in Pasadena - I watched approximately 75,000 people dance and samba (Brazil won against Italy) a mile to the Old Town Pasadena bars.

I was among those responsible to keep them safe. It was a scene that had to be seen to be believed. The joy amongst the people could be felt. Sure, they rooted for opposite teams but afterwards? The result was the result - they decided "good game" and "lets get shit cracking tonight".

When my shift was over, I partied my ass off.

EDIT: I'm an ex fed.

World Series, I guess. If I were to attend a World Series game, it would mean the Orioles actually made it to the World Series. That would probably be more exciting than attending the event itself.

No interest in the others.

I'm actually angling to be security director for the 2028 Olympics in L.A. I'm working the 2022 Superbowl in L.A. but not as part of the top management staff. Middle management for now.
