Closing ceremony about to start...the Games always leave an emptiness behind. :/

 

[oti]

And the crowd goes mild.

 

[MrJames]

I take it NBC is tape delaying this as well?

duh

 

[CelticKnight]

Empty seats in the stands. I guess the ones on the floor are for the athletes, but are the seats in the stands for them as well?

 

[nny]

Beautiful.

 

[jett]

Man the stadium still pretty empty during even the closing ceremony.

 

[GunBR]

Empty seats in the stands. I guess the ones on the floor are for the athletes, but are the seats in the stands for them as well?

There was still tickets to sell on this afternoon
3000 reais (~900 dollars) each one

Lots of people aren't even in yet due to the bad weather or stayed home entirely because of it.

 

[Oersted]

That one clapping dude with that "they don't pay me enough for this crap"-attitude

Edit:

Fuck Bach

A shame. Should've sold 'em off cheap or given them free to schools or something. Suppose the weather might've put a few off, too.

 

[oti]

What an odd mood. The sound mixing is weird, many spectators are still trying to get in due to the bad weather so their seats are empty and of course it's raining. Bummer.

 

[Wafflecakes]

Kind of surprised the US managed to beat their 2012 performance. Very impressive.

Was expecting them to fall just short.

 

[Oersted]

Being so yellow, the emptiness is really an eyecatcher

lol.

I just don't understand what were they expecting to happen.

holy fucking shit :/

they need that Italian IOC guy

 

[Oersted]

The sound is so... muffled? Its so low on volume

 

[oti]

Yo Brazil I hope you sing the Olympic Anthem in Greek this time.

 

[self_aware_keyboard]

Sound on the Irish broadcaster, RTE much better compared to BBC - was same for the opening.

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

Haha, the wind is blowing the kids' hats away.

 

[Nipo]

lol.

I just don't understand what were they expecting to happen.

They expected more foreign tourists. Zika scared away a lot of people.

 

[nny]

The kids make up the stars...neat.

 

[Hyllian]

They expected more foreign tourists. Zika scared away a lot of people.

And yet, no cases reported. Blame the media.

 

[oti]

KORAKAKI!

The German channel might feature the worst Audio Mixing I have ever heard.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

Guys what the fuck why am I seeing so many empty seats in the closing ceremony? Will Brazil not fill even the goddamn closing ceremony????

 

[Kurtofan]

It's for the athletes...

 

[Oersted]

Doesn't it normally take longer than two weeks till a baby is born? Or did Zika impact more than just babies?

 

[self_aware_keyboard]

Guys what the fuck why am I seeing so many empty seats in the closing ceremony? Will Brazil not fill even the goddamn closing ceremony????

Perhaps the bad weather has effected some ?

 

[Majine]

Is Tokyo's ceremony the very last thing or what?

 

[Alex_Mexico]

It's for the athletes...

All of the empty seats? I'm talking about the actual stadium stands. Not only the seats in the field.

 

[AndyB1974]

The sound on the BBC red button stream is much better than on bbc1. Far too quiet on bbc1 and the added bonus of no commentary on red button.

 

[Oersted]

It's for the athletes...

The ones on the floor, yeah

Well, each seat costs 900$

Zika causes high fever and muscle pain after only 48 hours of infection.

You get very sick, fever etc.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

This might be the very first Olympic ceremony (closing or opening) I've ever seen in my life without a full stadium. This is embarrassing.

Thanks, wasn't really up to date on this.

 

[oti]

This is so low energy for some reason.

Bad feeling it might very well be I am so looking forward to sleep again, but sad it's all over, but seriously I need sleep.

Nah, embarrassing would be if the stadium was full with the tickets costing that much =x

 

[Quick]

It looks like they filled up the rest of the stadium except for the seats around the tunnel.

 

[self_aware_keyboard]

I miss the hot bike girls from the opening ceremony

 

[Eylos]

Brazil was the last thing on London ceremony

 

[Majine]

I'm gonna be there in 4 years, personal goal. Japan is my second home country, and will be great enjoying the olympics without fear of muggings.

The opening wasn't completely full either but was not quite as blatently obvious as this

Cya there so, *high five*

It's embarrassing because the organization committee thought $900 tickets would work in a country like Brazil. The general population is a little to blame for not filling the rest of the venues but it's on the organization the overpricing.

I always wanted to visit Japan and I swore to myself I will definitely attend the Games in Tokyo. We'll meet there.

Whats this fiddle sounding music? It's sweet.
