Are others also getting such offers?
Yep. A member of my club and I both got the same offer. I presume it's pretty universal to fill the seats.
On a side note, I've learned why the tickets for the games were so pricey. Apparently, Pan Am used the cost model from the London Olympics as a guide to set prices. I'm not sure if anyone realized that track cycling in the UK is WAAAYYY more popular. That being said, apparently ticket demand for the track was decent so it didn't effect sales that much. There should be some left when they go on sale more broadly if anyone wants to pick up a few tix.
