I thought I saw a lot of empty seats during the opening ceremonies. I don't know if it was just that people were leaving because it was late or if the place really wasn't full.
It seems like the last few Olympics there have been stories about how tickets were very expensive and many events were way below capacity. If I remember right in the last winter Olympics they were even giving away tickets to some events just to fill the seats so it didn't look bad on TV.
