Well, I just got the email that we didn't get any of our requested tickets for the Olympics
They said my request has been entered into the lottery system and I can try to purchase anything available on July 2. I'm pretty bummed, but everything on the news is already saying that this is forecasted to be one of the most popular Olympics games of all time, and that millions of Japanese residents didn't get tickets either. I find it extremely hard to believe that I couldn't get tickets to equestrian cross-country though... it's not even a seated event, you literally are just walking around a multi-acre open field watching people jump their horses.
I guess worst case scenario, we go to Japan a couple weeks after the Olympics when things are (hopefully) cheaper and easier to book and still have a great vacation.
