Ticket director Donovan Ferretti let reporters know this week that there were a total of 6 million tickets available, with 2 million still unsold. Of those tickets unsold, 800,000 are for football, which is surprising given Brazil’s love for the sport. Keep in mind that organizers announced several years ago that about 7.5 million tickets would be available, which would suggest that sales are even slower than anticipated.

Do you have plans to attend any of the Rio 2016 events?
