[quote=Anonymous]Put all family members names in the lottery for tickets (each with a different email address), and hope that someone gets the notice early.  Plan ahead of time what tickets you want to purchase, and have a back-up list, when you realize some are outrageously expensive.

Do not plan to attend more than one event per day, even if one is 9am and the other 5pm.  Even with one per day, you will all be exhausted.  I promise.

Book your AirBnB early if you aren't staying with friends and family.  Pack clothing to wear in layers.  When you get online at 7:30am for a 9am event, it might be cold, but by later, it could be hot.

Bring raincoats (opening ceremony anyone?).  Hats with a brim and sunglassess (sitting outside in the sun at events for multiple hours).

Plan on $$$ for food.  If you are spending from all day watching multiple tennis matches, you aren't going to leave to get food, you are going to eat whatever expensive garbage is available to you at the tennis courts.  If they allow you to bring your own food, do it.  In Paris, they allowed you to bring your own food, and we picked up inexpenive lunches that we brought to every venue we were at during lunch time.

Water bottle for everyone, drink often.  Hopefully Los Angelos will learn from Paris and have water-filling stations available all over the place.

That's off the top of my head - if I think of more, I'll come back and post again[/quote]
