Premium Seats

I sat about as close to the starting blocks as you can to shoot swimming last night - front row, in fact.  The seats in my section were obvious very, very expensive  - provided you could even get them.  This guy sitting two rows behind me could afford them.

I'm always wondering, do athletes parents get any discount or help from US government to get tickets to watch their kids' event? Some of the swimming events showed parents actually had really bad seats, like Missy's parents. Curious.

I imagine the national team and USOC helps out financially and logistically for these things. I'll ask someone at the USOC to confirm. However, the stars have sponsors who will take care of their friends and family. The folks sitting the row behind me were wearing Visa credentials and Visa is one of the biggest Olympic sponsors.
