Ebaby! at the Olympics!

Olympic Stadium

Ebaby! went to Beijing, China, for the 2008 Olympics! We visited members, made fun videos, and taught English to everyone!

Scalping Olympic Tickets

Tickets to Olympic games are very hard to get this year. All the events are sold out!

If you want to buy tickets, you have to scalp them. Scalping is when you (sometimes illegally) buy a ticket to something sold out for an increased price.

Watch as Jason sets out to scalp a ticket. He finds it very easy. But finding the event he just bought a ticket for turns out to be a wild goose chase, or a very difficult and exhausting search.

It is a wonderful thing to watch a match in the Olympic Games.
It is inconvenient for foreigners’ visiting,we should improve our spoken English,so we can help foreign friends.

in my opinion, he’d better go there early and make sure where the stadium is. maybe he can ask someone else before there and then take a taxi.
