Distance doesn't matter that much, as olympics in general are expensive enough to make transportation not the major part of the total price.
If they were held in my home town, that would be significantly cheaper because I wouldn't have to pay for accomodation; but if they were held in a city in a few hours driving distance, then it might as well be in a different continent, the tickets+hotel+food+driving will be just a bit cheaper than tikcets+hotel+food+planes.
