  Speaker 1: Cup tickets and more recently the price of tickets for

  Speaker 1: the twenty twenty eight Olympics in La.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: They've been making the news.

• 0:31
  Speaker 1: WrestleMania forty two tickets.
• 0:33

• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the stadium, which can hold up to seventy thousand fans
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: for big events. So we're dealing with a huge stadium

  Speaker 1: but not using all the seats and huge prices.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: They'd rather have the money than the seats filled.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: You would think they would make the prices lower and

  Speaker 3: A lot of those are going to end up on
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: stub Hub or something like that, don't you think.
