Where to Find Tickets to the Beijing Olympics - Personal Finance - The Good Life - EBAY: "Although the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing won't get under way for nearly eight more months, travelers who want to catch the sporting world's most lavish extravaganza will need the endurance of a marathoner and speed of a sprinter to score tickets in the Chinese capital.
Reasonable prices -- the cheapest seats at a few less-popular events, such as baseball, go as low as $5 -- combined with carefully rationed quotas allocated country by country by Chinese officials, have created high demand for tickets to the Games, which will occur Aug. 8 to Aug. 24. Of course, most tickets command higher prices; the cheapest seats for the men's basketball finals, a crowd pleaser, start at $51 and top out at $171.
At the opening ceremony in Beijing's new National Stadium, the best seats in the house are priced at $773; tickets for the closing ceremony in the same stadium cost $488. Buyers are limited to two tickets for each ceremony and eight tickets for individual competitions, with a cap of 48 total tickets per buyer.
The real problem, though, won't be containing yourself and buying only 48 tickets to the Games; it will be getting tickets at all, especially to the events in which you are probably most"
