LOS ANGELES Stung by the
Soviet-led boycott, speculators who hoped to
convert Olympic tickets into golden profits
:?i,: u ?r i ?_.
ait paimiviiig uttausc ui niwicit&tu supply
and decreased demand, ticket brokers say.
"With the Soviet bloc competing, it would
have been a scalper's paradise," said Dion
Rich, a San Diego ticket broker. "Now it's a
bonanza for the last-minute buyer."
Black market prices are falling and the
boycott has definitely had a bearing on it,
Kich said. It s worse than 1 thought it
would be. There's going to be a lot of tickets
to be had."
"We're getting inundated with telephone
calls from speculators who want to sell
tickets," said Larry Gold, owner of Ticket
Time, one of Los Angeles' largest ticket
agencies. "People are panicking about their
investment."

for a seat at the basketball finals ? five times
face value.
Now; some major brokers have begun selling
only on consignment, Rich said.
Another factor in the glut was the start of
over-the-counter ticket sales last week. With
the mail-order process all but completed,
roughly 1.2 million tickets went on sale at
nine Los Angeles walk-up centers.

in the Games," Steve Montiel, a' deputy
press secretary for the Los Angeles Olympic
Organizing Committee,said.
Organizers expected ticket revenue to
reach $90 million, one fifth of the Games'
$500 million budget. By last week, sales had
already exceeded $86 million and will be well
above the $90 million goal, Montiel said.

DON'T STAND up and scream over every
fly ball that gets past second base ? you'll
feel like a nerd when the centerfielder nabs it
with little effort.
By all means, buy a program when you get
to the ball park. You'll find the rosters for
both squads, making it easier to harass the
opposing team and keep up with the Mets
line-up.
After a few games you'll even feel confortable
enough to call the players by their first
names.
Remember you came to the ball park to
have fun, and you will, even if you're not a
die-hard baseball fan like njyself who gets a
kick out of reciting the 1966 Los Angeles
Dodgers' roster.
YOU DON'T have to be a baseball fanatic
to enjoy a Mets game. But doYi't blame us if
you leave Captiol City Park a convert to
baseball fanaticism. It happens all the time.
Professional baseball ? close to campus,
no less ? is one of the best entertainment
bargains in the city.
The Mets, with their recent penchant for
extra-inning games, give Columbia fans
something to cheer about (if it doesn't send
them into coronary arrest).
The team is at home tonight to face Spar
