Used Games tickets are hot item for collectors

It said many collectors had queued up to buy used tickets from spectators leaving the stadium after the China-United States match.

On Internet bulletin boards, offers to buy used tickets significantly outnumbered those from sellers, it said.

Cao Xuetao, an online store owner, was quoted as saying collectors should be patient as used tickets were not a good bet for short-term speculation and should be seen as a long-term investment.
