Deals like this don't last long!
The early bird gets the worm, so they say, and that aphorism has never been more true than it is in our digital age. But how many times have you seen something incredible on Ebay, say, or Barney’s Warehouse (RIP) that you just had to have… but the price… but the hmmmmm… and do I really want it… and while you paused off it flew to someone with a quicker trigger finger? A more thoroughly robust spirit?
Very many times and heartbreaking each.
Well, with surfing’s Olympic debut in the 2020 Tokyo Games just months away it is best we not sleep on tickets for today they have gone on sale and by sale I mean $4500 per for the medal rounds, $2250 for the quarters and semis. $2250 also for the first rounds.
The hot tip was sent through by Jack English, surf photographer most famous for our Cryin’ Jordy who owns the fine brand Sea of Seven, and he must have purchased his own Olympic surfing tickets already to be so brazen with this sharing but whatever the case we all now stand to win.
Except, quick question, what is the over/under on how much tickets will be available for day of?
An even $5000?
More?
Very exciting. Possibly an investment opportunity.
Have you read Asimovs sci fi? Best ever. Star Wars is derived from the Foundation series, Foundation and Empire precisely.
Not yet , but will put it on my list …. thanks big T
For comparison how much would the gymnastics be?
“California’s American Wave Machines Inc. announced a joint project with Surf Stadium Japan (SSJ) this week to build a wave pool in Shizunami.
The project has already broken ground and officials stated the facility will be surf-able as early as June 2020. If these timeline estimates are correct, Japan will bust a bottle of champagne on the new wave pool one month prior to the Olympic flame’s running through Tokyo”. —-Pretty sure this is their back up plan if its flat……….
Slater did, but I don’t think Dirk Ziff wanted to cough up another 30 million on their ‘out dated’ wave technology.

Sorry, I just don’t find surfing competitions that interesting I’d pay anything to view one let alone five grand!
Well put……but I think you need to redo your post and add– “wouldn’t” pay anything.
No, I like it how it is. Open to individual interpretation.
I’m selling tickets to our local contests for half that price. Click HERE to pay online.
ok wow I misread…. 4500. plus air…. sounds like Tavvy or two months in Nica
Chas’ ranch in Nica for 3 weeks…..
Way longer if you use the promo code!
Promo Code: “MANSCAPED”
How much are the skateboarding tickets? The same I would think.
I feel you need to acquire tickets and then sell them moments beforehand and drink in the hotel pool. That is the only hope of making this a great event.
Will there be refunds if its flat?
Flat is not an option, Godzilla will swoosh his tail if need be.
Someone will have a tank built in Japan by then anyway. Plan B as they say.
Now they want to charge you to sit on the Beach.
One and done, unattended except by fools.
Somewhere in a Penthouse suite Dirk Ziff contemplates whether he should open that second bottle of Scotch.
Mutters, “Fucken Olympics ! Fuck Fernando ! “
Al contrair, Dirk and Fernando are in this ‘together’…….
Al is the worst of them.
The other two seem ok.
AI? Haha.
4.5k. plus flights and accommodation. can’t imagine too many “surfers” will be in the crowd. who is going to buy tickets? watching surfing for a non surfer has to be right up there with watching paint dry.
Umm, there is some serious money in Japan, Im thinking some of the parents of the surfers there have some $. Will Dirk pop for a bunch of tickets for Elo, the Wsl crew and friends and family? He has a vested interest to see that surfing showcases well in Japan. Empty bleachers wouldn’t look good. Dirk could spend a mil. on tickets and justify it as a write off………….
Direct your eyes to the “Surfing” in the lower left corner. Going left to right, finish at GOING OLYMPIC on whatever the fuck that blue thing is, I digress
S U R F I N G –
Ese (S) YOU ARE F’ ING GOING OLYMPIC!
He is probably not a surfer but a genetic clone of one of the magnificent seven from Akira Kurosawa’s 1954 masterpiece “ The Seven Samurai “ ?

That’d be better than cloning The Last Samurai. Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible XX – Olympic Surfing
I went thru a samurai binge thing in the 80’s.Throne of Blood, Sanjuro, and Yohimbo being some of my favorites. Kurosawa was really a master of the genre,
Bring it home Kolohe!

USD$9000 for the whole comp???????? Makes WSL look positively miserly with their $1200 booze tent “experience”
For that price there must be Russian Entertainment Fembots ?
So ya got the choice of a trip to any perfect spot or a day in Japan
With those options it could end up a few hundred bucks for gate sales on the day if they want a crowd
